The Silver Fern

@SammyC best after game post ever

My point is more that with a better culture he would be less inclined to make such a rash heat of the moment decision.

Shhh. Don't tell the Cantabs ...

And his scrum concedes a penalty immediately he comes on at tighthead.</p></blockquote>

But fuck, that had to try hard to force that penalty. If it takes 5 or 6 or 10 seconds to finally break the front for they deserve a medal, for not cheating, not a penalty.<br><br>
The rules are fucked.

Bit of that too

Yep, a good man always rises to the occasion. Or so I am told.

No, Pocock got a two game ban, which lasted three weeks becouse of the bye.

I guess that's part of the beauty of the game, not only can differing people play it, different people can take away a different perception.<br><br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Crucial" data-cid="572918" data-time="1460841471"><p>The lack of impact from Skelton kind of shows just what a leveller and game for all sizes that Rugby Union is and what makes it so awesome.<br> <br>You can't just give a big dude the ball and expect rewards. You have to work together to give him the ball effectively</p></blockquote>True, but if I've got Mumm playing as a lock, I want my tight lock to do more than a metre per carry, or more tackles than there are halves. Particularly if he weighs ~140kg. For some reason our workrate has been poor this season and we're not imposing ourselves. Doesn't help that our execution has failed us too.

<p>Like looking for apologies from rugby players online to whine about? :)</p>

Interesting saga<br><br>
So do we have clearly defined goodies and baddies?<br><br>
First media impressions were that Jones was the no good boss, but the media is like that<br><br>
Credit to him for standing up for himself

<p>Just read that Horne is okay and will be able to play against the Highlanders. Tahs already had a few injuries, hadn't they? Foley?</p>

<p>Christian Lloyd has been in the same boat for Wellington over the last two seasons. Seems to be always injured. Hopefully they can come back soon and give this Canes side the grunt they need.</p>
