That'll have to go down as MP's best-ever performance. Not the first time they've taken the scalp of a bigger team (not even the first time they've bested the Canes), but it's the strongest performance they've put on the park by some margin.
Haven’t really been up with the play, is Jordie available for the ABs later this year or do we have to face the very real prospect of Havilli being the number one number 12 ?
Sabbatical so he is available, yes
Lam is way ahead of him in my book. (It's not a red and black book though).
@MN5 Mate just probably with his book, I personally got annoyed that he was a victim too often in it, it was unfair he last captaincy of HB because he was pissed and tried to get into wrong room of motel etc. Perhaps ot was Laws as author who pissed me off. I could accept he was a drug dealer, bully etc he turned himself around (and we didn't have net in those days so he wasn't judged like players are now), just the impression the book made him sound like a victim annoyed me is all. As I said that just may of been Laws the author'.
Fair enough.
I might have another read over the weekend and see.
@Canes4life agree! we need to stick with him, needs time, he'll figure it out ..hes our next BB! form a combination with Riley, and Proctor outside him ..daayumm
@Winger 100% re Vijoen! he will learn, i highly rate this kid and definitely prefer him to Judd. glimpses of a young Aaron Smith. Good question re Rayasi will be interesting what they do
I didn't think Williams made a bad job of reffing the game. I don't mind him as a ref, but none of them worry me anyway. I think as a rule the refs make a good job of a complicated game.
Watched the game at the pub, which is the never the easiest place to concentrate, but was impressed by Sotutu's defence. He put in some solid hits against the best attacking team.
