      Think they missed a trick though - after the initial hit he then dragged him down by the neck. Which they didn't watch.

      I thought he hit him in the head and then had a 2nd go as well. Turns out I was massively wrong

      @mariner4life they didn't show on the replay where he had a 2nd go and wrapped him right around the neck.

        The ABs have a big problem at 10. Right now we're reliant on Beauden's confidence being high, and his 'X' factor plays coming off.

        I am far from convinced that is going to win us tight tests come the pointy end of the RWC. At least one of those games, if not all three, will be an in the trenches fucking war.

        DMac... Yeah nah.

        Mo'unga... untested. Is used to getting a free ride behind a pack that is three times better than the next best. How will he handle it when the AB pack is getting battered by the monstrous Irish?

        Might be a discussion worthy of it's own thread but it's a big concern at the moment.

          The selectors will probably take Franks, Laulala and Ofa T for the RWC but Lomax is currently the best THP in NZ, based on form.

                Lomax looks like a completely different bloke this season - looks fit as fuck.

                              The ABs have a big problem at 10. Right now we're reliant on Beauden's confidence being high, and his 'X' factor plays coming off.

                              I am far from convinced that is going to win us tight tests come the pointy end of the RWC. At least one of those games, if not all three, will be an in the trenches fucking war.

                              DMac... Yeah nah.

                              Mo'unga... untested. Is used to getting a free ride behind a pack that is three times better than the next best. How will he handle it when the AB pack is getting battered by the monstrous Irish?

                              Might be a discussion worthy of it's own thread but it's a big concern at the moment.

                              Oh true? Fuck, like, literally no one has noticed that over the past year and a bit.

                              Well now I'm worried

                              Snarky fluffybunny. If we didn't debate the same shit over and over we'd run out of shit to talk about pretty quickly.

                              A bit left field but I reckon there's a bloke at the Blues who could cover 6 and 8 if given a chance.

                              I'm curious as to whether Rieko might have any loose forward brothers coming through the ranks. That guy has been our stand out player the last couple of seasons.

                                A long season for the Canes if they don’t find some hardness in their forward pack

                                      I am far from convinced that is going to win us tight tests come the pointy end of the RWC. At least one of those games, if not all three, will be an in the trenches fucking war.

                                      DMac... Yeah nah.

                                      Mo'unga... untested. Is used to getting a free ride behind a pack that is three times better than the next best. How will he handle it when the AB pack is getting battered by the monstrous Irish?

                                      Might be a discussion worthy of it's own thread but it's a big concern at the moment.

                                      Oh true? Fuck, like, literally no one has noticed that over the past year and a bit.

                                      Well now I'm worried

                                      Snarky fluffybunny. If we didn't debate the same shit over and over we'd run out of shit to talk about pretty quickly.

                                      I was thinking the other day we look a bit unsettled in the 6 jersey.

                                      A bit left field but I reckon there's a bloke at the Blues who could cover 6 and 8 if given a chance.

                                      Nah that bloke doesn't run on to the ball like Whitelock, um Ardie, um somebody does.

                                      What are his facial expressions like though?

                                        The ABs have a big problem at 10. Right now we're reliant on Beauden's confidence being high, and his 'X' factor plays coming off.

                                        Tell ya what. We'll field a whole team of blindsides and still beat the Chiefs.

                                          Although he knocked it on this is best I've ever seen Josh Dickson play. Always been slight and not physical but has added some size and strength to athletic element of his game.
