    Disappointing Love didn't catch, or make ground on, the old man there.

        Concerning is going a bit far. McNicholl showed in Super Rugby he still has genuine wheels

          Christie has shaded Lakai which also a concern given the latter is highly rated

              Wellington aren’t going to do much this year with JGB, Savea and Proctor in the midfield. Definitely showing they have too many runs in the legs.

              Really missing the zip from last year. Harkin has to start going forward. The fact he’s not on the field yet is baffling.

                  Harkin got shafted last year as well. He starts for the Canes. He should be starting for Welly easily.

                    It's completing the triangle of ridiculous 10 decisions this year - each player has separately been involved in the other two decisions

                    Garden Bachop over Pellegrini for Moana Pasifika

                    Cameron over Love/Harkin axis for Canes

                      Canterbury defence was the key factor for me
                      Lions had more than enough ball to pressure Canterbury
                      Tom Christie the outstanding player on the paddock lost count on how many tackles he made 3 turnovers to throw in as well
                      3rd upset in 3 games
                      Npc continuing to deliver

                        Garden-Bachop is a smart player but he’s just too damn slow and has no counter attack. He’ll likely remain at 10 though as Harkin will likely play 15 when Love drops back out.

                          Just put Harkin at 10 and chuck Clarke at 15

                              Ropeti looks about 16 years old. Look handy with ball in hand. Didn't notice his work on defence, but I wasn't looking out for it.

                                  Is he small? He’s bigger than you probably think he is. Didn’t he play lock a few times last year for the Lions? He’s got a massive head, which probably makes his body look small in comparison.

                                    I’m hoping Porirua park isn’t permanently in the long term plans for the Lions. They don’t seem to get many people turn up. Would love them to bring a few games back to the Hutt.

                                        Love has never been express. He’s got great acceleration at the line. That’s why I’d rather him focus on 10 moving forward.

                                        McNicholl showed for the Saders this year that he hasn’t lost much speed.

                                          I think the problem of taking these games to small stadiums, it kind of stuffs up having season memberships. etc, That's perhaps why they won't take the games out to Hutt,. I do think is they going to stay at Porirua, they need to contemplate a scaffold stand type arrangement.
