What made the All Blacks' Scotland performance worth another look? For The Breakdown, it wasn't just Beauden Barrett reaching his fiftieth test try. The scrum, lineout combinations and the way Dave Rennie wants his team to attack all gave the panel something to work with.
Kirstie Stanway hosts Jeff Wilson, Ben Castle and Steve Devine in "All Blacks Silence the Scottish Bag Pipes | Breakdown", the most watched of Sky Sport NZ's fifteen new uploads, with roughly 77,000 views. Wilson sees Barrett as a particularly good fit for Rennie's approach. Post-match interviews bring Barrett, Fabian Holland and Ethan de Groot into the discussion, before the panel examines Holland's locking partnership with Scott Barrett.
The comments get pleasingly specific: de Groot's passing, the balance of the second row and whether rolling mauls need changing. That last subject gets its own studio debate. Wilson wants the ball played after a maul is stopped once; he also floats letting a yellow-carded player return when the opposition scores a try, borrowing from ice hockey.
Elsewhere, Manchester United-Aston Villa highlights from Old Trafford are drawing the most daily views right now. BLACKCAPS-India cricket from Wellington and Reece Walsh's Australian try-scoring clips give the week its wider sporting spread.
Subscribers increased, while daily viewing is running well above the channel's usual level. Among nearby sports channels, FOX SPORTS AUSTRALIA had a particularly busy week for total views; Racing TV is also enjoying above-usual daily viewing. For Sky Sport NZ, the strongest new-upload audience belongs to a rugby conversation with room for both forward-pack detail and a little law-making.

What viewers say
De Groot is something else at the moment. His passing game... once when he went in for halfback, he sent a rocket pass.
@DilmahkanaSee it on YouTubeA bit harsh on Finn Russell, he had an off day. Like they say, form is temporary but class is permanent. Also thought Sititi's yellow was correct.
@justinkearney6440See it on YouTubeWe love a good rolling maul. Rugby is more than passing and kicking. Sometimes we want pushing and shoving.

Brilliant Beaudy. No more words needed.
@paorahowe2378See it on YouTubeWhat to ditch? Lifting. Like it used to be.
Agree with changing the rolling maul. Stopped once, have to play the ball.@ObiePaddlesSee it on YouTubeThe Welsh anthem also something special.
@christopherclassen2343See it on YouTubeRolling mauls will be part of the game. Seeing that we struggle to stop it. At least compete at the lineout 5m out
@raucousfunSee it on YouTubeMoorbys link play is overlooked but the record when he starts speaks for itself!
