Carlos Spencer naming him as one of 2 best locks in NZ
Oh shit well I'm sold. Always thought Carlos was a great judge on a second rower, especially when he's not coaching their team.
If he's that good at judging on positions he has no idea about, I bet he's all over not having a dead duck in Beauden involved in the starting AB team.

Your post would be very on point given your own Hurricanes coaching experience and rugby playing experience at lock at Super level and above.
Carlos has coaching experience in 4 countries, he might have picked up something useful to say even when observing forwards, no?

Shut the forum down. Damnit if only I'd coached in just one more country.

Ok Bones, I not saying Carlos is a great judge of locks, obviously not as good as you anyway it appears, but the reason I pointed it out you had commented that Blackwell was anonymous on Saturday, but for whatever Carlos also must of noticed him, is all I meant, As I said we all see or look at different things for players, I don't claim to be a Blackwell fan, but I thought he had gone fairly well on Saturday. Obviously so did coaches etc as it was Bird who was replaced at lock not Blackwell (though to be fair I think Bird is a case of age and struggles to lat whole game)

It's worrying you find it notable a coach noticed players in his own team. But informative.
It's worrying that you posting about teams and thinking Carlos is part of coaching group.. lol You know he's got nothing to do with Canes and lives in Hamilton don't you? Is backs coach for Blues women's team, and was tied up with MLR coaching last year.
