We're not saying he's the worst we're saying he's been overtaken.
You guys obviously haven't learnt from previous years, the flashy stuff doesn't win titles.
Moorby hasn't been overtaken because Rayasi doesn't do the important shit off the ball.

@Machpants Canes will rip their system apart once we get Lomax back. Their scrum won't hold up against ours IMO if we get Numia, Aumua and Lomax back firing together. If the Canes get parity up front against anyone it's almost curtains because of the way our loosies play and how deadly our backs are. Add home advantage to that and it's going to be bloody tough for anyone to come to Wellington and win. Cudos if they do.

Wonder what sort of crowd we'll get. Would be nice to hit at least 20K plus for a QF and if we get through hopefully sell outs from there.
I think we'll get 20k plus for the Rebels, close to 30k would be amazing. I've already got my tickets.
-
From the post below, it looks like Shields and Lomax are back to work, will be good for them to both get half a game against the Rebels.
-
@Windows97 you'd hope so. The Canes need to find their ruthless edge in the playoffs, if they don't win this by 20+ points I will be surprised. At the end of the day they just need a win to advance so it will be interesting to see how they attack teams, will they take the points when on offer or will they back themselves to go for tries. I just hope we don't go into the our shells and I hope we approach these games like we have every other game this year.

damn posted this in wrong thread lol. But yea, I agree. Me and my mate who go to every game we can have tickets of course. And have a couple of others joining us on their request this week so I'd expect that'll be the same for others. -

I'm sure there are many like that.

This'll be a flogging.

I am sure the Rebels are on the piss already. Those making the Wallabies already know they are in, everyone else is unemployed.

@antipodean only 1 game of the quarters looks like it wont be a flogging.

If it were a 6 team finals, you'd just skip the 1v8 and 2v7 that is silly. You'd still have the Brumbies Highlanders and Chiefs Reds.
Chiefs REds looks the game of the round.

Hopefully next year it will be like this with the top two teams taking a week off. If players require mins they could play club rugby e.g. Shields and Lomax.
