Those same stats that say Ardie is this unreal dominant defender? Whatever.
Nope. Not sure where u plucked that out of, other than your ass.
Wait a minute... you come on and make up a story about seeing some amazing stats, yet don't reveal what they are or are even about... and @KiwiMurph is the one that's ass plucking? Righto.
I've said several times they're CRFU stats. The coaches use them. But all you need to know is I saw them, and they were 'official'.
😂 Yeah good one. I had a meeting with Eddie Jones and he had unseen video footage of Akira that proves you wrong. He showed it to me and that's all you need to know.
If you think I'd make that up, you're a cockwallet.
Yes. I'm the cockwallet. And you're the guy pretending you saw some stats yet you can't even say what they are or are about. Sounds legit bro! 😂
You certainly are.
CRFU have amazing stats that they can show shark and only shark can know them. True story!
If only Eddie Jones didn't have that video proving them wrong.
Wow, Bones is 12.

Yeah keep going with the projection. I'd do that too if I pretended to be the only one that was allowed to know CRFU stats. Just a shame I can't even tell you what's in the video Eddie has. That would make it sound more legit.

To be fair to @shark , who seems to be getting smashed from all angles, his argument as I understood it was that Savea is a better 7 than Cane.
Nothing more, nothing less.
So a day when the AB's sucked and Cane played really well at 7 and Savea was average at 8, doesn't really move the dial either way?
That's the argument of an idiot. Would Savea have played at 7 better than Cane did today?

@shark fuck that'd be ace. I like sports cars. Could just tell us the stats though if you wanna save some money.
At least you have your lingo down for when you go back to the 80s
I'll give you a wave on the way past the 90s fella.

How the fuck would I know? Did JB advance his creds as a 15 over Dmac today, despite not playing 15? Did JG improve his stocks at 13 over Reiko today whilst playing 12?
Keep your fucking insults to yourself by the way.

We can make a judgement based on the body of their work over their career. Cane today showed exactly the impact people said he would have,
Keep your fucking insults to yourself by the way.
If I see a stupid argument I'll call it stupid.

Let me lay it out for you.
The debate is 2 guys playing the same position. The qn is who is the best?
1 guys plays that position today and does really well.
The other guy plays a very different position and is average.
And you claim the debate is over
Its so stupid that its not funny, but it kind of is
But I'm a child 🤣🤣🤣
For the record, I'm totally in the Cane camp over Savea at 7. But that's so irrelevant to your pathetic argument here.

You're describing someone else's argument and I'm calling that argument stupid. Then you get pissy at me. Don't take it personally. Not my fault Cane convincingly proved the point today.

@Bones Wait a minute, I've got it! I'll swing by in my time-travelling Delorean, pick you up, and take you to a function at Aikmans' Sports Bar on the 1st of this month so you can see! I should have thought of this earlier, what a dumb ass!!!
Sorry, you went to a function at a sports bar in Chch where they gave an actual presentation on Akira's stats?
I'm sorry, that sounds like absolute fucking garbage - what kind of functions are they running down there?

@Frank said in The Cane vs Savea Debate:
Debate's over.
Cane is better in tests.
Lock the thread please.I think it's a little more general than that - current loosies need to excel at supporting themselves over the breakdown AND being able to use tackling as a weapon t build defensive advantage by either hitting hard or quickly geting up from the tackle to compete for the ball. Ardies strengths are outside those key areas. Cane can tick both of those boxes. According to ESPN, Sotutu made 9 tackles to Ardies 8 - Cane had 25 and Frizell had 15.
For me, Ardie is a modern day Michael Jones in that he is quick and skillful with the ball and reads the game well to provide support/link play but isn't an out-and-out fetcher or ball runner. Jones had the advantage of being bigger/stronger than many of his contemporaries allowing him to outmuscle opponents on defence and be an effective bal runner while Ardie is on the smaller side compared to his contemporaries inspite of being bigger than Jones.
So does Ardie fit into a current International rugby side? He's an ideal replacement in that he can cover 6-8 and provide a lineout option but I think we have better options to start across 6-8 and it's only Ardies International experience that gives him an advantage at the moment.

That's quite incredible from Sotutu in such a short space of time and exactly what you want from a bench player - it basically needs to be at least one significant involvement a minute when coming with 15 mins or less. Add his runs to those tackling stats and it's even more impressive

how is this thread still going, i concede any doubts over Cane
