ABs need Proctor's rugby IQ at 13.
Yeah, I am sold, he makes players around him look good like Conrad used to

And we can call him Billy P to combat Englands Billy V and Australias Bobby V.

The refs have just abdicated all responsibility of giving reds to the bunker.
You man clattered Love at full speed with a shoulder to the head.
What off field review do you need mate?

Well as a one eyed Canes' man, even I didn't think it was a red. Definitely looked first contact was on shoulder, so I thought it was YC. I genuinely would of been very surprised if it had od been upgraded, and won't be cited I reckon.
That's just how I saw it anyway

You know waking up this morning, I still feeling bloody good about the game. There is nothing like your team getting an underdog win, and showing seeds of what you know they can do,
Couple of thoughts are, hope they keep running Love at 10, Godfrey can do 15 when he comes back.
And I keep being impressed at Kirifi, not only how he plays, but when he talks after the match. -

And I keep being impressed at Kirifi, not only how he plays, but when he talks after the match.I don’t mind persisting with Harkin at 15. There is something very classy about him and he looks to be getting more comfortable every game he plays. Godfrey can be an impact sub when he comes back but whichever way we go we’ve got options.
After watching the full game this morning, Delany, Kirifi and Gallagher were my standouts in the forwards and our whole starting backline was very good. Best game I’ve seen Punivai play, he just ran hard all night. Naholo also played his best game of the season and Higgins and Proctor were very good in the midfield.
Love, well he showed last night that he has the ability to be a very good 10. Some of those touches were utter class and I expect him to get even better the more time he plays in the jersey.
The problem atm is our bench, in particular Enari and Hohepa. There is a huge drop off in class when they come on so we really need Vijoen and Godfrey back into the 23.

@Canes4life Yep, wouldn't get upset with Harkin staying at 15, he's certainly growing into spot. As you say with Love, I also think he's coming on great there, and could well be his position . Like you I thought all starters went well, and can see some good stuff happening if they keep like it, the Roigard/Love axis has the makings of becoming very good, even up a level in a year or 2. All in all I will say, about to go to golf, but going as a very happy Canes man today!

Partnering with Jordie B sounds way cooler than David H as well. I hope Razor is reading.

I'll need to watch it again but it looked like a late, no arms shoulder charge to me, which is a straight red regardless of whether there is head contact or not. The fact there was head contact just makes it worse.

@No-Quarter dunno why we continue to be surprised with these calls...
This one not upgraded, that one upgraded, all a joke really.

My first wearing of canes classic shirt worked, I'll claim that one
I wish the Canes would wear a classic shirt, their "away" jumper is so non-descript I forgot I was supposed to be hating both teams and started cheering for them.

I like the look of that team, but I think it needs a few more captains to fulfil its potential.

I always think of what Cane got sent off for in a RWC final when im comparing these incidents.
And im just left shaking my head. Farcical.
I have to be honest, I'm falling out of love with the sport.

I not sure they are as bad as we think. I reading on Aus rugby forum that some think Love was milking it , same ones were calling for Wrampling to be crucified last week. The problem is we generally see from our own side on very limited stuff we see on tv. If the tackle was dangerous as some think, the Canes would cite him, as they get access to all the angles etc. I said the same about the Wrampling one last week, if these tackles are bad, and the TMOs etc miss them , if the teams themselves don't cite, they agree with them. I just think last nights was like Wrampling's last week, looks worse on tv than they were.

The decision, and Kolisi surviving an arguably more dangerous hit ruined our chances for a RWC win. It is one of many occasions, for us and for other teams. The refs and video replay are a total lottery and it is bad for the game

The Kolisi decision is the one that is genuinely most annoying to me. If Cane's was red, how was Kolisi's not? They should have just left both on the field with yellows and then dealt with it afterwards.
We give league shit for putting away their whistle in the big matches but this was a time we could have followed their lead, biggest game of the year, tight as fuck match, and they tanked it with hypocritical decisions.
