<p>Two locks are good enough for the Wallabies I guess - especially with Read and Kaino and then Squire on the bench.</p> -

<p>Excuse my ignorance as I have been away with limited internet access for a week ( mind you that doesn't excuse nearly ten years of other dumb comments from me on here ) but is Moala injured ? I managed to catch the AB team being named but little else ( as an aside I'm not sure why on an island where I socialized with lots of Kiwis and Aussies the Rarotongans decided to broadcast SA/Argentina as opposed to the Bledisloe but I'm sure there's some reason )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sounds like Fekitoa had a good un and J Savea scored a wonderful try too so if Ioane makes a good fist Moala might struggle to get back in despite his awesome showing against Roberts and Davies.</p> -

Which is why I think he isn't a troll. a troll wouldn't go to this much rouble for this long. He probably thinks the crusaders installed smoke machines in 2005. -

<p>They likely wouldn't have a say in the decision. </p>

<p>They usually get all the big matches on free-to-air Cook Islands TV. I watched the Super final there last year.</p>

Think about it, what evidence do we have that they don't ? At that stage the whole coaching staff were cantabs, connect the dots sheeple.... .. ( folds arms , nods knowingly) -
<p>With this new information coming to light, and the fact the canes finally managed to win something, does this mean Nepia is putting the Chiefs jersey back in the roof, and digging his Canes membership back out?</p>

<p>Hmmm, that's a thought, after all it was clearly the Canterbury dominated NZRU who forced Hammett on the Hurricanes so he could keep them down and never have them win Super rugby. Once the Board got some kahunas and brought in a home grown coach who went against the script and won, the Canterbury dominated NZRU are now using Hansen to keep the Canes down as Winger rightly points out. Damn I wish didn't have that Canes bonfire in late 2011.</p> -
<p>It's not your fault, the conspiracy was too big for regular person to see. You need a big intellect; open eyes; and an open mind to see it. </p>

<p>The other point about attendance - which I might have raised already - is that there were a shedload of Suburban Rugby finals on Saturday in Sydney. So you're talking another 15-17 clubs with one or more grades, supporters, etc. whose season ended one way or another. They'd be back at their sponsors drowning sorrows or celebrating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And the Homebush factor. People in Sydney rugby's heartland (eastern suburbs) are sick of the journey out there for zero atmosphere and a probable pounding.</p>
