Hurricanes v Sharks - Savea Benched
-
Mr T take a bow. My new favourite player.
-
<p>you are 34 points down with 10 to go and you are playing territory?</p>
-
Pity TJ can't play like that consistently. He'd be a lock for that ab bench spot if he did.

They didn't even compete the lineout either. They've clocked out mentally. -
Woodward done enough to keep the bus on the pine you'd think..
-
<p>not that it matters, but no way was he supporting his own weight</p>

<p>He's certainly making a statement now. TKB being demoted to the Chiefs bench helps him, too.</p> -
<p>that looked like an old Savea</p>

<p>guaranteed NZ team into the final, either it's Canes vs Landers so one of them, or if one of the other NZ teams win, it's 3 in the semis, so also a guaranteed finalist. Good</p>

<p>The Crusaders have the most difficult game to play this weekend, but surely the Chiefs should be able to beat the Stormers?</p> -

<p>So out for a while then? What's the recovery on something like that?</p>

<p>If it's torn the rib off, he won't be back til the EOY tour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At best he'll be back for the final if they make it, more likely the Rugby Championship given how much pain he appeared to be in. </p> -
<p>that last passage summed the night up for the Shorks</p>
