Perenara & Tahuriorangi tonight showing the enormous gap between AB halfbacks 2 and 3.

We've lost a bit of quality in the canes at the 60 minn mark, I think we'll see a chiefs revival, not a win

It would be disappointing not to get a bonus point. We need some five pointers.

Between 1 & 2 and everyone else?

@KiwiMurph is TTT really the 3rd best Halfback in NZ I am not sure if he is.

[Stargazer]

@antipodean I think Bryn Hall should be the 3rd halfback. He's way better than TTT.

Why is Trent from Punchy on at halfback for the Hurricanes?

Gees Ardie has really come on in the last few months, if that form translates to the WC we are in for a treat

If he is playing like this, I don't see how you can pick Cane ahead of him. Cane is fantastic so no disrespect to him but Ardie has been so compelling.

Put in some MOTM performances for the ABs last year too. That said, the way Cane smacks blokes on defense I find it hard to go past him against the big boys. Really hoping they are both fit and firing.

@Stargazer yep totally agree

[Yeetyaah]

Is Marty capable of passing properly?

TTT is like a rough diamond - the upside from his pass and work rate is I'm guessing what the selectors like. A bulkier replacement for Aaron.

I’ve yet to figure out how Tahuriorangi is already the undisputed All Blacks number three halfback when he usually has splinters for the Chiefs. He’s got a lot of potential, but...

[Chris]

Wowwwwww McKenzie

[antipodean]

I have to ask how Rasta let that scrum continue when the backrows disengaged prior to the ball being fed.

[Chris]

@antipodean because he is shit ???

No question marks required

[Yeetyaah]

Oooooooof Marty.

[Paekakboyz]

@hydro11 agree. Has gotten rid of his habit of losing the ball in contact and has been great this year. Still a bit prone to getting manhandled, but give him a sniff and he does the job.

But even then a park ref who needs to be elsewhere would start again.

Tiatia holding back off the ball.

Terrible second half from Alaimalo.

[No Quarter]

Alaimalo's confidence looks shot. A shame, he's a class player.
