    Dos Laumape have the distribution skills to be the AB 12? (considering SBW is crocked again)
    His attacking game is awesome.

    I think he can be the hard runner to go with a distributor like Crotty

    Fucking Tana - it's obvious! Tackle Laumape - stop him scoring tries. 🙂

    Well, my evening as a Blues supporter was shit. I might not try that again! 🙂

    Try three years of Tana’s shit selections and lack of accountability.

    Look what happened to the Crusaders when you got rid of Blackadder.

    There's one very clear path to success....

    ...follow Nepia and Crucial's example and head for the Crusaders. 🙂

    It worked for the Hurricanes!

    So 6 years later under a different coach is “worked”? 😉

    @Kirwan would be better off enticing me to the Blues. The Chiefs hadn’t done anything until I turned up and then bang two in a row.

    Us so called fair weather supporters bring our own fair weather.

    Nah, I’m a true fan. Got to take the bad times with the good.

    It won’t last forever, insert rant about a new board, ceo and coach here.

    Good Man!!

    You've got to have some principles in Life! 🙂 🙂

    Leon is coming! It will get better.

    Hope he leads a coup!

    And it can’t get worse, see Duluth’s stat on Blues vs NZ opposition under Tana? 5.3%

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 5.3% can become 5% which is worse 😜

    It can be tough being a canes supporter, consistency has never been their strong point despite the talent they’ve had in their ranks over the years. But when the chips are down and they are in a slump you can take solace by thinking “thank fuck I don’t have the misfortune to support the the blues”.

    Oh right, the last time you won there were six less teams then and my son was one . He’s about to start an apprenticeship.

    Just watched game. Laumape was a beast.

    Didn't think the Canes were very good tbh. Line out was a shambles. Scrum was good but too many errors. Still, better than the shit show of last week.

    That BB intercept flick to Laumape had me blowing my load.

    @rancid-schnitzel Great game plan from Boyd & Plumtree,attack the best left winger in the world that’s playing out of position..it’s does’nt help when your first five went to the Stephen Brett school of defending....
    The fact that Tana has played Reiko at 2nd five whenever SBW has been unavailable suggests to me he doesn’t rate any of his midfielders to slot into that position,what I would’nt give to have a Micheal little in the squad..he’s an organiser,and he makes his tackles..another fuck up of epic proportions from Hanks and co..

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/105327099/ngani-laumapes-quadruple-against-the-blues-was-no-fluke

    "We knew that the behaviour of the 10, 12 and 13 [Stephen Perofeta, Rieko Ioane and Michael Collins] were such that, if we set up a structure, one of them would bite and that would leave an option for us somewhere else," Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd said after the team's 42-24 win.
    
    A rock-steady scrum, bodies in motion and then Laumape running off a short ball didn't just produce tries for him. The rampant Laumape was able to lay on another for wing Julian Savea as well. Just as the Hurricanes had expected.
    
    Perofeta is still learning his craft, with and without the ball, at first five-eighth, while there's debate about whether Ioane and Collins might be better left at wing and fullback.
    
    "Michael Collins played all his schoolboy football and all his youth football as a 13, so you could argue that he's in his natural position. If you ask me, I'm not sure what Michael's best position is," said Boyd.
    
    "And it would be fair to say Ioane is a very good winger, but he's played a lot of his football at centre as well. Not a lot at 12, but we weren't overly unhappy when we saw his name in the teamsheet at 12."

    No doubt about Laumape going forward, fantastic.

    It might be a tad churlish of me to mention that some of his defence was a bit turnstile like.

    "we weren't overly unhappy when we saw his name in the teamsheet at 12."

    The subtle digs at the shit -ness of the opposing coaches selection skills are the best.

    @tim Haha so we have an opposition coach basically saying that our selections are horrendous.

    @infidel not at all we mentioned it during the game, made 9, missed 4 is not great. Only Reiko was worse with five misses

    I wish Laumape played when Ronan O'Gara was around. That would have been an anal raping for the ages

    @infidel being slapped off by Perofeta isn't really a good look for an AB 2nd five eh.

    A couple of mates and I Decided while drunk at New Years to surprise the boys with a trip to Wellington to watch blues v canes, and we hoped the blues would have had a better season but ah well the lads still loved the surprise when we broke it to them at 11am Saturday after they’d finished their game. That was about the highlight.....

    2pm flight got delayed 230 then 3pm then cancelled as the part they had used to repair the plane was the wrong part. AirNZ told us we were rebooked to the 7pm flight but hell that wasnt gonna work. The combo of dad rage and sad 7 and 8 year old boys seemed to get the desired impact and we were rebooked to the 5pm flight so looked like we still had a chance. 11 of us in to koru and a good session was had. Extended session too as 5pm got rescheduled to 545 then 620 then 630 we boarded and finally took off at 7farken25!!! Landed before half time and shuttled to the ground and into the lounge for the last 30mins so at least the kids got to visit the caketin and witness the canes tear us a new one.

    They also got to experience classic wet and windy Wellington weather on Sunday, a (lost?) whale in Wellington harbour and te papa. Oh and and another extended koru session thanks for more delays coming home Sunday night.

    Couldn’t really tell you much about the rugby. Best I read the posts above to find out what happened in the 50mins we missed.
