I don't understand how he constantly gets selected ahead of the Manawatu loosies

He's frustratingly inconsistent. Some weeks he is really good.

[Stargazer]

Most missed tackles accordint to both SANZAAR and ESPN are Aumua and IWL.

I expected he'd have matured into a player that was making a case for higher honours.

[Stargazer]

@antipodean In previous years, he didn't get much game time.

Because he couldn't play more than 50 minutes at Super level without cramping up.

[Stargazer]

@Toddy No, he didn't get game time because Reed Princep wasn't injured.

[KiwiMurph]

Nicely worked there

[Toddy]

@Stargazer They had to play Princep as Flanders couldn't play more than 50 minutes. So was more suited to the bench.

[Stargazer]

@Toddy No, that's plainly not true. They always picked Princep, no matter what. He's the coach's pet.

[Canes4life]

The Drua are just standing on our side of the ruck and the ref is just ignoring it. They are impeding Roigard every single time he tries to get it out.

[Stargazer]

Both Lomax and Naholo now having their ankles strapped. I really hope there won't be a huge injury toll from this game.

Nah Flanders was either injured or always going down with cramp. Pretty sure Flanders was preferred but he was hardly fully fit.

[Canes4life]

Man we look knackered.

[KiwiMurph]

Roigard try saver (after missing the tackle earlier)

[Canes4life]

Lol why do so many teams struggle in Fiji? Is it the humidity? We look gassed.

[African Monkey]

Drua let the Canes off the hook in that half. They should be out of sight and could come to regret it in the 2nd half.

[Bovidae]

The Drua have left some points out there in the 1st half. The Canes could have been down 15+ pts.

[African Monkey]

@Canes4life Well yeah, its boiling hot in the islands.
