    @bones I only agree with Grace, Clarke and possibly Boshier. Most players on their list are old haha.

    Thought you'd be all over them calling the NPC non-competitive!

    @bovidae Not sure if mentioned in the article, but on his podcast he clarified that his "hype XV" was based purely on press comments going into the start of the season, not on form or potential. He wanted to do a list based on fitness and strength numbers, but couldn't get enough data.

    @bones I only looked at the list; didn't read the article. 🙂

    Edit: do you mean this about NMS?

    The once prolific wing hasn’t played a game of competitive rugby since November 2018, which dates to 22 months on the sidelines.
    

    No need to be all over that. They've obviously missed that he has played NPC for Manawatu. I don't think Planet Rugby covers NPC anymore.

    @tim They've missed quite a few. And picked the wrong Punivai.

    Who have the Blues got next week and where?

    The way things are going with this covid shit I’ll be bloody surprised if we get through this season without having a game or two cancelled.

    Bloody lucky!
    You’d assume they’ll stay out of Auckland do they can continue to train?

    @gunner all games could be canned next week. Unless they play them behind closed doors.

    @gunner Players may want to go back to their family though, esp those with children.

    Yep can be played in empty Stadiums under level 2, Blues don't have a game anyway, but that is only place where you couldn't play.

    The Crusaders were perhaps the best performing team in Super Rugby Aotearoa for round one of 2021 - but who features in RugbyPass' composite side?

    have to say im surprised to see a couple of our forwards in the list (also saw regan listed in someone elses team of the week) given how the general consensus was out forwards were light weight

    also hilarious that Nareki made the team of the week but rugby pass also did a Top Five of the week and Garden-Bachop made it and nareki didn't

    @kiwiwomble Rugbypass are a strange bunch with their ridiculous player ratings system. I don't trust anything they write about players' performances, least of all any form of ranking.

    This team of the week is a bit better. It still has McLeod at 12 though

    Thats the problem when there's only 4 people playing a position a week. It's easy for none of them to be particularly good. I would have leaned towards Plummer by default because the other guys negatives were higher
