<p>good to see kane hames get called into allblacks as injury cover, think he got called in 2014 in Australia, hope you he can go a step further</p>

<p>Don't think he got the credit he deserved for quarters -- out scrummed SA's top tighthead. Locals noticed:<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.rugby365.com/opinion/second-phase/74261-team-of-the-week-a-cut-above-the-rest'>http://www.rugby365.com/opinion/second-phase/74261-team-of-the-week-a-cut-above-the-rest</a></p>

<p>yeah he used to work for the bay union, hope he can go a step further</p>

<p>Funny to think that a few months back the Fern was wondering whether he was just left out of Super rugby or he was injured and now he's a step away from an AB debut.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope he makes it, always been a fan of his despite his provincial allegiance. </p> -
<p>haha hes been Ta$man last few years</p>

<p>He went to Te Aute, that's good enough for him to be considered a local. ;)</p>

<p>I remember Hansen saying Moody had the same problems when they first took him on.</p>
<p>Hopefully they can work their magic with him too.</p> -

<p>That's an awesome yarn. It's the kind of story you'd read about how players made the All Blacks in the 80s. Doubt you'll find another player take a similar path to Test rugby in the professional era for a long, long time.</p> -
<p>that's a cool story. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoyed watching him and the new Wallabies prop have a little go at each other, before Whitelock stepped in and sorted it out. Back in your box pups. </p>
