Highlanders v Chiefs

I was surprised that Lord replaced Ah Kuoi as I would have subbed Vaa'i.

Not seeing Vaa'i as a future lock for the ABs at this stage.
Seems lightweight in the collision and lacks mongrel.

@Frank
Dickson and Ah Kuoi were the best locks of the game.

Well as he already an All Black I suspect you missed something.

I said future lock - I think he has been promoted too soon.

@Frank Fair enough, though I suspect you wrong, I would be very surprised if he isn't a test lock next year.

@Frank I know he's returning from injury, but I would like to see more of Lord. Seems like he's bulked up a fair bit too.

Great impact from Fakatava. Maybe brought on a bit too late? He's definitely returning to form.

Why must you incessantly talk up any Super Rugby player who hails from the Hawkes Bay? Your bias is mental.

@Frank I can write my opinion when I want to. Deal with it! It being a minority opinion doesn't make it more fluffing than when you read most other threads where posters say something positive about a player. I'm passionate about my team and players. I also rather look at the positives than the negatives (if present). You should try it sometimes. Much better than the constant moaning on the Fern by a bunch of GOM.

@Stargazer Bag on , I another that can't just see the negatives all the time. And if I like things about my favourite players/teams etc etc, I will also tell people!

Nah, being a GOM is way more fun.
