    @Chris The first half was fine, but they can't cut out the turnovers and loss of patterns.

    @Tim

    From memory, Mealamu was a bit poor very early in his career - were he to work on it, he couuuuld become a very similar player.

    @gt12 I don’t think it was. Paps was still holding on when the player was tackled. If he doesn’t release and plays at the ball it’s a penalty. It was close but he still had time to release before he ripped the ball.

    In my opinion a tackler shouldn’t have to wait to be told to release by the ref. It certainly doesn’t happen at every tackle situation.

    @Chris I really think that not trusting the squad has been a huge issue this year. There are times the opposition just looks fresher.

    Dumb play from Ardie. 5 points ahead, take the 3 and the game is won.

    Ardie to 12? Finally?

    Nah, he can't play 12 with passes like that.

    @nzzp said in Hurricanes v Blues:

    We saw the same thing with Nonu for years though - would just phone it in for Super, and then smash it at International level.

    Irrelevant, as SBW's not Nonu. If anything SBW was less effective at test level than Super, and at this rate if he is picked it would be in the place of a more deserving player.

    ha ha ha. So, just to be clear, you don't think discussing the attributes of a midfielder who doesn't perform in Super is relevant. Righto, my bad.

    Yep, your bad, both for first suggesting SBW should be picked even though he has been ordinary because he'll miraculously somehow get better in black like a totally different player, and for the terrible attempt at a strawman argument above.

    @Dice Lowe played 40 minutes of club rugby last week, after 4 months out. Probably needs a bit more time to get back to full speed.

    Stuff it, I've turned this off. Done for the night. Going to go and hammer some nails into my balls, or flog myself with rusty barbed wire, or watch parliament TV, or something that's less goddamn painful than watching this.

    Two past U20s hookers - neither of who can ducking throw. Who is training them? Or are they lazy? There are only really two options...

    At halftime i thought that game was buried.

    But once the Canes hit the front, the result never looked like being overturned, despite the close score
