There was the odd minor hiccup, but through the playoffs, they were untouched.

I think they put on 50, 60 points in every game in the playoffs.

So,

When they're on a roll, they're unstoppable.

Second point, the Chiefs are terrible.

Third point, not a great look for the competition, is it?

No, that was my question.

Yeah, one team put 60 points on the other.

For the credibility of the competition, and all the playoffs were one-sided, compared to some good, close-type matches, some in the regular season...

It's a knock to the credibility of the competition that a team puts 60 on the other in the final.

They were utterly superb.

And the All Blacks are named at midday, Dave Rennie's first team, Mike.

Why not run the Hurricanes' back line, the whole back line against the French in that first test?

Why not?

Yeah, they played well.

Considering, again, you're without Fisher-Harris,

Tanner Boyd, a few others who would be key starters, right?

Yeah.

Geez, I'm impressed by the fullback, Kane Toapiki.

Geez, he's a fantastic player, isn't he?
