Hurricanes v Blues

@African-Monkey said in Hurricanes v Blues:
@Donsteppa I respectfully disagree. No need to lose key players in a meaningless game like this.
I guess it's the old 'preservation v momentum' situation for coaches to work through, they'd probably love both!

I haven't seen anything from SBW in this game that justifies his inclusion in the ABs squad and leaving out (most likely) Laumape.
We saw the same thing with Nonu for years though - would just phone it in for Super, and then smash it at International level.
The ABs back themselves to et the best out of people, and you can see what SBW brings. Big, fast, offloading machine, with the track record not to choke under severe pressure. Risk is age, condition and actually getting some damn game time!

Given that JGB laid that on, isn’t that a bit harsh?

@Tim Losing concentration as usual.

@African-Monkey Yup. It's those periods where they lose their pattern and gift possession to the opposition.

Rieko Ioane has had a poor night so far.

Irrelevant, as SBW's not Nonu. If anything SBW was less effective at test level than Super, and at this rate if he is picked it would be in the place of a more deserving player.

Love live betting..Canes were paying $8 5-24 down ,given our track record a $20 hit on the TAB account was worth a crack simply because you all know why..!

That was a good run, but the Blues just stopped hitting rucks for a few minutes.
