AB's inviting the opposition into their dressing room for drinks and chat after game is not a new thing. While doesn't happen every time, been going on for decades. Not cooked up by anyone. This actually is a Captain's call usually involving getting everyone's vote.

Really good to see some of that old school camaraderie is still there.

This is what Rugby is all about...the only thing missing was the boat race and telling your opponent after several more beers how well he played. Beautiful!!

I’m hoping it is a statement to the NZRFU, that they need to get their “shiite” together too, & actually work with RA, & put to bed all the drama they have caused.

Agree with Davis, this is what rugby is all about and great to see. Opponents on the field and mates off the field. Reading the tea leaves, I suspect this was cooked up by coaches I.Foster and D.Rennie to make a statement that the bitterness from M.Cheika and S.Hansen is past -tense.

Great stuff. That's how it should be.
