<p>More than half of this guy's pro sports career has been not considered for selection due to injury.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure Harris did enough to warrant another start (he was a bit dicey at lineout time), although Hika wasn't stunning when he came on either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leitch is a big loss, he's become the Messam style heart of the team this year.</p> -
<p>Great to see Tamanivalu's fit. I thought he was a goner for sure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leitch is a huge loss though, hopefully Seu and Sanders can both step up. Not sure on Sanders at 8 though, his work off the back of the scrum was atrocious last weekend.</p> -

<p> Sanders wasn't prepared fot that. I guess he must have trained all week to fix it.</p> -

<p>Is his nickname Colonel ? if not it should be.....</p> -
<p>I'd have though "Bernie" would be more appropriate with the Democratic presidential primaries going on. Mind you, the Colonel is a durable sort of character (and he pipes the fuck out of that smell at dinner time) whereas soon Bernie Sanders will be a footnote in history.</p>

<p>I hear they only serve mid strength beer at Waratahs games now. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>it's one thing that has dramatically improved at Crusaders games this year, we have a monteiths stall that sells 7 or 8 different brews.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good riddance to those horrible plastic bottles of tui</p> -

<p>I actually don't drink when watching rugby. But am happy for the drinkers to have better beer inside the ground.</p> -
