If, and it's a big if, cane makes the cup he starts, ardie will be on the bench. Outside that I've no idea EDIT: and Read at 8 obviously. Ardie might be the 7 instead of Cane if he had performed like the last game, in the game before vs the Crusaders.

That’s just cruel to tease me like that. Would be a dominant back row for sure.

No comment. I've already been banned enough times this month. Although the inclusion of the once apparently absolutely shit A Savea makes me chuckle.

And SBW is badly broken again. Six weeks with knee surgery. His chances of making the RWC squad are looking increasingly slim.

@Chester-Draws assuming they are open about it just being arthroscopy, this is not a major surgery and could well be back up and running in a couple of weeks.
As a non-elite athlete, I was back playing to my high level 4 weeks post arthroscopy.

I think badly broken is overstating it. It’s minor surgery that will sideline him for about a month.
Blues head coach Leon MacDonald said: "Whatever he decides to do and puts his mind to, he sort of makes happen. If he still wants to keep playing later on he's the sort of guy you would never write off.
"He's a pretty determined guy and this year he really wants to make the World Cup squad and be a part of that. So he's pretty driven to make sure he recovers well from this and gets back on the field." -
Coltman has signed through to 2022:

Which wouldn't matter much, if he had been playing regularly.
In this case it's one more month out, minimum. The newspaper said six weeks (plus the two since the injury, makes eight weeks off). Then he'll not be at full fitness for a while.
I was always in the pro-SBW camp, but it's got past ridiculous. I believe the term is "food bill".

@sparky hopefully Beaudy follows his bro and signs an extension with Canes and NZ rugby through to the next WC.
@Canes4life Has Jordie already re-signed with the Canes?
