@gt12 I'm sure the Canes will find a reason to still not giving Jonah Lowe game time.
You can turn any conversation to that, can’t you?

He'd be a good replacement for Fau'uli at the Chiefs.

Who got the red and why? Just flicked the Telly on
Fau'uli; shoulder to the head with no attempt to wrap arms.

Geez, that whas a whole 2 minutes for Falcon. Hope he's okay.
I didn't think your estimate of four and a half minutes would be so optimistic!

Canes have been playing badly since the week they lost to the Crusaders. Lam has been invisible since he was overlooked by the AB selectors.
The Canes were ordinary before the Crusaders lost. But were managing to win mostly with individual brilliance
The tight 5 are getting beaten week after week now. My view is Fatialofa, Smith and JTA are not up to it in recent weeks. The Canes are much better with Eves are LH and May at TH. I can see why the coaches would start Smith but ....
I would also start Walker-Leawere at lock if Fifita is not fit next week. Or even move Thomson to lock at bring Evans back. as its clear that Lousi and Fatialofa just don't work together. Just a shame that the coaches haven't worked this out yet.
And the backs have been limited almost the whole year. I would have liked to have seen more from Aso at 2nd after his brilliant game at 2nd v the Sunwolves. But he was completely dropped from the team and only made it back in the 22 due to injuries. And this to me reflects what's wrong with the coaches approach. A young player seemed to find his position with a brilliant game. And next week he's dropped
Its like they have their favorites and regardless of how someone plays he is dropped the next week if a favorite returns. Regardless of form. Its not working.
One more point. The game-plan is too one dimensional. Laumape is used as a battering ram and if this doesn't work due to good defense the backs are a bit stuffed. They useless attack coach seems to have nothing else

I've been saying it almost all season, we got away with several close ugly wins early on that papered over the cracks in the team. This loss was another indication that the team aren't fronting up in the forwards and I expect us to lose to the Chiefs next week
