I'd probably have had mental health issues in 2018 if I was him in the form he was in and saw Luke Whitelock and Evans getting test starts and I wasn't.

that's All Black Captain Luke Whitelock

He was better than Sam Broomhall or Steven Bates at least.

@MN5 shudder

@Nepia Yup can't recall him missing a game in the previous 3 seasons until this season, Infact, he barely missed a minute he was relied on that much.

Shall we revisit this thread now? I'm expecting some fucking apologies.

@antipodean I'm expecting a massive strop about Scott Robinson not being coach.

Wish I could rub a certain posters nose in his opinion.

Cane was the best seven and six out there today

[booboo]

Oh come on. You can't compare their games. Ardie was at 8.

😂😂😂

This thread should be in a new comedy sub forum.

[KiwiMurph]

Haha thinking of this thread during the game made for a good chuckle.

@Kirwan I don’t think I saw Frizell do anything to be fair

[voodoo]

Cane was awesome today. He even showed great hands with that scoop off the deck, obviously he's been reading the Fern like every AB player, current or potential, should be doing.

[African Monkey]

Anyone who understands that there are levels between domestic and international rugby could tell you that Cane is a quality operator.

I think Akira might have suited this game better, he can generate momentum from almost stationary probably better than most in NZ and that seemed to be our game plan this week,

[African Monkey]

@Nepia He's also more dominant in contact on D, something that is crucial at the highest level. Are we allowed to say good things aboout Akira or will we get criticised for it?

Shall we change it to captaincy qualities?

And yet, the official Canterbury / Crusaders stats I saw recently don't back that up.

[KiwiMurph]

Those same stats that say Ardie is this unreal dominant defender? Whatever.

Cane did play well, to be fair. But so may have Savea. And Cane REALLY needed to put in a performance as I'm sure he'll realise he's not everyone's choice.
