Would still beat all the Australia and South African teams, plus the Sunwolves and the Jaguares...

@Billy-Tell whilst injured!
-
Jamie-Jerry Taulagi (Sunwolves) suspended for 5 weeks for his dangerous tackle (shoulder v head) on Shaun Stevenson

Got to be kidding me. I can't believe Hammett has been sent to be my own personal torment. Maybe I should start supporting Ireland.
-
@Bones Relax. Hammer's now what he was most criticized for in the first place - vastly experienced.

@Chris-B. You're just happy he left Ta$man.
Chris B was one of the chief Hammettuer fluffers on the old mega thread lobbing grenades left right and centre.
-
@Bovidae Why not?
He's had four seasons as a Super head coach, coached Japan, assisted at the Crusaders, Highlanders and Mako$.
Hard to see who's going to be close to as experienced given that it seems none of the supposed big gun NZers in the NH seem to want the job of coaching our Super teams? Plumtree, I suppose - but he may not be interested and the cupboard looks a bit bare behind him.
I reckon Hammett will be good!

Sam Whitelock suspended for 2 weeks. That means that he'll miss the games v the Bulls and the Hurricanes. The first one won't be a problem for the Crusaders, but the second ...

I'm probably the only one who is glad this has happened. Am thinking with my ABs cap on though. Have been of the opinion that Roberston has not managed Whitelock's workload well this year and he's played almost every minute of the season so far. The break will do him a lot of good.

I dunno. I think Sammy W's leadership has been a revelation for the Saders this season, and a bloody big part of why they sit at the top of the log. He must be one of the players that thrives on playing every minute and I like the way Scott Robertson has given him the reins.

Hammett has plenty of experience at losing/underachieving, or have you forgotten Cardiff as well? I think he's one of those who is better as an assistant than a head coach. If I was a Highlanders supporter I wouldn't be happy if Hammett was named as Brown's replacement.
Not my problem though...
-
No doubt he's racked up plenty of losses, but I don't tend to think he's underachieved as badly as many others think.
Cardiff - I had temporarily forgotten. He wasn't there long - but, he won quite a few matches with a team that was not particularly good to start with. He may not have made them any better, but I don't think he made them any worse.
