      no doubt 8 finalists in a 12 team comp is silly...but i still want the boys to come out and try and win the next three games, have to play whats in front of you and its up to the other teams to prove 8 is too many

        @Kiwiwomble they absolutely have a chance and I expect this to be a tough game.

          @Tim is that % right now, or if they won 3 on the trot?

              @Kiwiwomble OK...still, that's the nature of knock out footy...look how close France came to the 2011 RWC after losing to us and Tonga...

                as i say, im not defending the format and have said before we dont deserve to be playing finals footy but these have been the margins for our losses

                10, 15, 6, 12, 7, 3, 1, 11, 12,1

                no complete hidings, obviously you need to win those close games to deserve to play finals but its actually whats been so annoying...we havent been as far off the pace as we have been i other seasons, we would normally have had a couple of 20-40 point hidings

                but rather than browny seeing what we did ok...he's just chopped and changed things...more than other years when we had been thrashed

                      Papalii obviously a loss for us but Choat is a quality back up at the same who will slot in nicely. A very underrated 7, similar to the Highlanders opensides funnily enough.
