Hurricanes vs Chiefs

@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...

Wowwwwww McKenzie

[antipodean]

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

@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.

[Machpants]

ALB showing his stuff tho, best chief by miles

[antipodean]

Alaimalo having one of those games. What do you do, let him try to play himself back in for his confidence or risk it getting worse with every touch?

[Chris]

The canes lose something with Tiatia on the wing I don’t think he is up to it

[Stargazer]

Oh man, and now Beaver dropping the ball.
