The Bay v Northland
-
@Crazy-Horse I think the biggest thing for him this year is consistent game time at 10, previously for us he has been chopped and changed between 10 and 15 and the bench.

@Dan54 I don't have any great problem with these conferences - just seems a bit odd that the quarters are played in conference, but the semis are not. It's not logical.
History shows that home advantage is massive in Super rugby. Slanted conferences gave a big advantage to - basically, the strongest Australian team.

Yeah it seems like he I have more memory of him at 15 even though he was generally a 10 through the age groups wasn't he?

@mariner4life As far as I can see, the only point of the conferences is to avoid playing a full round robin.
cut Southland and Manawatu (no one would miss them but their half a dozen fans) and play a round robin
Hang on, at least they have floodlit grounds that can be used. Surely the best option is to ditch those teams unable to provide an adequate floodlit ground fit for television purposes?

@Crazy-Horse yeah, I think he had some minutes for the chiefs at FB too, but I do think 10 is where he should be.
He's only 22, so still time on his side to develop.

I'll have to remember that when I am next sitting on the bank, the only quarter of the ground that has any uncovered seating at all!

just don't go at the wrong time of day or they have to pause the game.
or on a day when the surface is too shit to play on.

To think though the Bay just needed to hold firm in that one scrum and couldn't do it.
Some of the funniest reactions though to getting that scrum penalty at the end from Northland lol
