Hurricanes vs Highlanders

I take it back not as bad as I thought. Penalty at worst.

The ABs have a big problem at 10. Right now we're reliant on Beauden's confidence being high, and his 'X' factor plays coming off.
I am far from convinced that is going to win us tight tests come the pointy end of the RWC. At least one of those games, if not all three, will be an in the trenches fucking war.
DMac... Yeah nah.
Mo'unga... untested. Is used to getting a free ride behind a pack that is three times better than the next best. How will he handle it when the AB pack is getting battered by the monstrous Irish?
Might be a discussion worthy of it's own thread but it's a big concern at the moment.

You ladies all done with your outrage?

Think they missed a trick though - after the initial hit he then dragged him down by the neck. Which they didn't watch.
I thought he hit him in the head and then had a 2nd go as well. Turns out I was massively wrong

Let's walk that back guys. Pitchforks on ice etc

@mariner4life they didn't show on the replay where he had a 2nd go and wrapped him right around the neck.

Oh true? Fuck, like, literally no one has noticed that over the past year and a bit.
Well now I'm worried

With all doom n gloom around nz super rugby sides there are some players in really good form like Laumape, Smith, Frizell, lomax in this game plus others like ALB ect.
The selectors will probably take Franks, Laulala and Ofa T for the RWC but Lomax is currently the best THP in NZ, based on form.

Lomax looks like a completely different bloke this season - looks fit as fuck.

@No-Quarter we will be ok I would be more worried if BB and Richie were smashing the house down this far out from WC
