<p>there aren't, so it isnt relevant...but seriously, well thats when you move to the next decider, but winning a game IMO is the most important decider so should be the first thing you look at, especially in this comp where not everyone plays one another, the fact you have, that match up should take on importance in seperating them if tied.</p> -

No way
another finals choke for Wellington/canes would be far more entertaining -

<p>I wouldnt begrudge the Hurricanes, Highlanders, Chiefs or Crusaders winning the title in 2016.</p> -
I think it's a waste of time living on past glories and all that should matter is the here and now. <br><br>
Therefore, the sole focus should be on the fact that the Hurricanes just arse raped the Crusaders at home and topped the Super ladder.<br><br>
Anything that occurred before that is irrelevant. The same applies to what happens in the future unless the Canes win the comp. -

As I said, the past and future are irrelevant, all that matters is the present. And at present the Crusaders are sleeping on their stomachs because their arses hurt so bad from being pounded so hard. -

<p>News filtering through that the Crusaders had a bit of trouble with the stomach 'flu last week. Hopefully not too contagious....</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Tuesday in Wellington:</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dane Coles: I'm feeling a little bit queasy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boyd: Just a bit of nerves, son. What you need is a bit of hard opposed training.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jules: I feel good, coach.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boyd: You just sit down there Jules - get some practice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Wednesday in Wellington</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plumtree: Cripes lads, Boydy's crook. He's quarantined himself so no-one else gets it. Jules - where's Ardie?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jules: He was feeling a bit sick this morning, so Mum's taken him to the doctor. I feel good though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boyd: Yeah, good - go and cut up a few oranges will you. Christ, I hope Ardie's OK.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Thursday in Wellington</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jules: I feel good, doobie, doobie, doobie, do...knew that I would now. I feeeeel good! Knew that....hey, where is everybody?</p> -

That is a pretty messy scrum but you have to expect that when coles packs down at 8 and you have a lock playing prop. Even romano has packed down in the wrong direction. Scrums can be pretty confusing at times. -
<p>Is that Franks that has slipped and popped up on the otherside too, gotta blame Toddy for that mess fo'sho!</p>

Seriously mate, you appear more butthurt than the Crusaders after 80 minutes of Hurricane buggery.<br><br>
It was just some tongue-in-cheek banter. Surely us long suffering Canes fans are permitted that. -
