<p>Proctor does well in attack but his positioning in defense looks suspect. He also missed a vital tackle on Tamanivalu for the first Chiefs try. I would go with Laumape and Aso.</p>

<p>To be fair if any four of Halaholo, Aso, Proctor, Laumape took the field I wouldn't be too displeased. They've all been fairly solid this year without doing anything overly flashy. I hope the competition between all four continues to keep those standards high.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like to see Woodward retain his spot at Fullback. He played very well against the Chiefs (apart from the last second fumble). Hes really starting to come into his own at the back. I suppose a bit of game time and momentum has helped with that.</p> -

<p>You know Rennie seems to have his plusses and minuses as a super XV coach. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>His weakness is discerning that a player is a dud. Sometimes he wears rose tinted glasses towards some players and he has them on towards Marshall or he wouldn't have started.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>His strength is player development and raw coaching skills. Can you remember just how shite and lost Cruden was in the Canes number 10 jersey? Now he is arguably the best 10 in the comp. (I did say arguably so Barrett fans can count to ten).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If Rennie ever became AB coach I would be tempted to make him work with a selection panel so he didn't put pet project players into the team.</p>

<p>Cruden did very well when he finally got to start</p> -

<p>Seems a bit rough to single him out for this - you can say the same about every NZ Super coach.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Marshall got a start because the Chiefs worry about attrition, they've always got one hooker injured it seems, and Rennie likes to have squad players be ready to contribute when needed - which served them well the two years they won when they lost star midfielders two years in a row in the finals.</p> -

<p>Not rubbish, but just enough challenge for him to show that he's the man for the job.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He offers more than Cruden IMHO</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Rubbish he offers very little but an individual threat. He consistently fails to drive and control a game. He had all the ball in the second half and failed to fire his backline at all apart from a couple of individual bits of brilliance. Savea is starting to coming back into form but Beauden will not set up much for him. If Cruden was playing 10 for the Hurricanes they would have buried the Chiefs by 10 or 20 points with their forward dominance in the last 30 minutes and the whole hurricanes backline would be being talked up as All Black contenders</p> -

<p>Pfft, it's not even newsworthy!</p> -
<p>The narration to that video is the strangest thing of the whole episode.</p>
-
<p>The "slight back twinge" is pretty strange along with obviously needing the trainers help to walk from the field and that nasty looking limp</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Come on, Rennie pulled a fast one and if he'd been Australian or South African there'd be cries of outrage</p> -

<p>Plenty of cries of outrage on radio sport today too :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rennie on Darcy's show after 4pm. Apparently he's pretty angry and ready to say so.</p> -
<p>I would be embarrassed if the All Blacks were caught doing such a thing.</p>

<p>Condone it not, you've got to admit it all looks pretty suspect, well Dane Coles thought so and I'd take his version of it over any on here</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jogging to the breakdown, getting talked to by 2 trainers and then limping off with a trainer as a crutch - yeah naaa</p> -

<p>What makes it most dodgy is that the limp doesn't match the stated back injury. He limped like he had a foot or leg injury, but he didn't limp at all just after the line-out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: personally, I would have preferred the footage to start earlier. Did the prop show any sign of injury before the line-out? </p>
