    If I was making an argument for Kirifi in the ABs it would be as a specialist bench loosie to attack the breakdown.

    Reckon their could be real value there and could be an option if you ran a 6-2 bench

    I don't think the AB coaches have the balls to do something like that though

      He’d be a real asset in that squad even if he didn’t make the 23. He’ll keep our starters honest at training that’s for sure.

      Lakai’s injury looked quite bad so he may end up in there.

        Agreed. Do you think that Super Rugby jacklers would be able to be effective enough over the ball at test level? Would be very interesting to see, and worth trying.

          Biggest disappointment was not to see 3 full stadiums over the weekend still plenty of work for organisers to be done in that space

          Well not much you can do when 2 of the 3 are the worst stadiums in the comp playing night winter games

          Thankfully one of them is getting replaced

          All 3 are probably the bottom 3 stadiums in the competition

            Tough luck canes. Tough way to end the season after having a tough start and working your way right back into it and hitting some form.

            Feel like the loss of Aumua was just too much to overcome, especially with how the Brumbies forwards fronted up. Needed him there.

            The makings of a very strong team and wouldn’t be surprised if they are up at the top end of the competition standings next season.

              Same goes for Wallabies by the way. That Luke Reimer is a real asset who should be used for them.

                Given Ardie, Lakai and Jacobson (and the mythical not-injured EB) can play at 7 and shift out, that's not a terrible idea on the face of it.

                  Judging by the progress of Te Kaha in Christchurch, next year the worst stadium without competition will be Canberra's. It's so bad I suggest the team is kicked out of the competition until they build a decent one in Civic.

                    We simply turn to paper Tigers every time we play in Canberra for a finals game bar 2016.

                      Another year, another dollar.

                      Not good enough on the big occasion in Canberra again. Cameron was dreadful.

                      Time for a coaching clear out. Laidlaw must go.

                            Looks like a fairly settled roster for 2026, are there likely to be any major new signings? Hurricanes are always a title contender, they do need to start the season a lot better in future, that is where they are losing out.

                              Canes outmuscled up front and battered out of the season. Didn't see that happening because I thought the pack had developed a bit of starch. Although Slipper won't be making any world 15 lists, he really is a warrior. Much respect.

                                Well, that game showed the value of Aumua and IWL I think. Lightweight tight 5 and small loosies isn't a recipe for success in Canboring. For all the great season Kirifi has had and the hype around Lakai, I thought Flanders was the pick of the Canes forwards.

                                  Our setpiece and exits killed us last night. We couldn't build scoreboard pressure because every time we scored we let come down and equalize

                                          If I was making an argument for Kirifi in the ABs it would be as a specialist bench loosie to attack the breakdown.

                                          Reckon their could be real value there and could be an option if you ran a 6-2 bench

                                          I don't think the AB coaches have the balls to do something like that though

                                          Was he carrying a bit of an injury last night - seemed to be off his usual intensity levels

                                          I thought so too. Or was the Brumbies tight five too dominant?
