<p>He's a Northlander so is a Blues fan. Wilson doesn't like the Chiefs.</p>

<p>Not so sure he is a Blues fan, pretty sure I've heard him say he supports both Northland and Waikato, may have gone to UNi in Hamilton?</p> -

<p>it does it for everyone, Hooperah got a few mentions in the RWC too ;)</p> -
<p>24-12 to the Blues, the Auckland bandwagon is filling fast, but it has creaky wheels and no sides, so expect plenty to fall or jump sooner or later</p>

<p>Looks to me like he's gone to smash the arm block and his timing is impeccable; just as it disappears he collects Pauliasi in the head.</p> -

<p>1 loss should do the trick, which will most likely be next week.</p> -

<p>yep, pretty careless, dont think he has actually thrown a punch...that said, a RC is probably the best as it probably stops anything coming from it</p> -
WTF happened in the Canes v Saders game?? Christ.
-
<p>The Saders twitter has #dontreadanythingintopreseason</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure what you could read from the result other than Todd sent out a team with the express instruction of not hurting yourself before the competition starts...</p> -

<p>Nah disagree, deliberate.</p>
<p>The shrug to start was to free himself but the follow through with the fist was extra.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Probably didn't expect to KO the poor bloke though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm sure the reactions would have been different if the roles were reversed.</p> -

<p>I don't think he was expecting Manu to let go of Cane beforehand, so I don't think the punch itself was deliberate him BUT I do think that was reckless enough to deserve the red card. Dumb move.</p>

<p>I don't know for sure either but listening to him commentate I've never had the impression Sumo was pro-Waikato (like Matt Cooper) or pro-Chiefs (like Ian Jones). For some commentators it's very obvious who they support - looking at you TJ!</p>
