Coleman

He's so average my spellcheck can't even spell his name properly.

He's not had a great super rugby. He's performed well for the AB's most if not all the time though - I'd be interested to hear where he wasn't up to scratch.

I prefer to focus on the positives. He has a good beard.

Haaaaa to paraphrase "I've actually not ever noticed him playing for the ABs".

I think that's more insulting isn't it? I mean, I remember Parsons playing for them.

Nah he was definitely better this year - he used to be reliable at set piece and adequate around the field, used to be the definition of journeyman. He's definitely stepped up, especially ball in hand.

Last year was the reverse wasn't it? Coltman started and Dixon was on the bench. This year form dictated that Dixon had to start.

They’ve generally rotated previously

[Machpants]

Parsons played for the ABs?!?!?!

[Yeetyaah]

@Machpants 2 games, one vs Scotland, the other vs Australia.

[Machpants]

So the table, despite canx Blues v Saders, ended up looking about right.

@Kiwiwomble and metres and carries! Frizzel showing well in a few MMT doesn't.

Interesting to see shit Nareki and shit Wainui feature a bit. Where are the canes wingers? 😬

Edit: oh and Joane went nuts on the offloads!

nareki showing up is a little bit of a surprise considering he was a bit in and out of the team early

[Duluth]

[Kiwiwomble]

@Duluth saw that this morning...was unhappy to see how many tackles were on us!

[mariner4life]

@Duluth most of those were a bit shit, couple of proper belters though

And only one on the canes, and wasn't exactly a big hit, just a nice elbow fend

[Kiwiwomble]

@Machpants our whole backline is pretty small so should have seen it coming against some of these other guys

[Kiwiwomble]

this was a great play, Whetton and Nareki both make semi breaks twice and then Collins swoops in to take the glory

[Yeetyaah]

@Kiwiwomble no thanks 😉
