The Silver Fern

<p>they really are justifying their win last year, while I was happy for them last year I wasnt convinced they were that good , I felt it was one of those lucky right place right time type things , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was wrong, they really are the real deal , even when average they have that winning clinical look to them </p>

<p style="color:rgb(48,48,48);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Astonishingly, Holloway managed this feat in just 16 minutes on Friday for the Waratahs against defending Super Rugby champions the Highlanders.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(48,48,48);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">In a stark contrast of the present and future, backrower Holloway replaced veteran Wycliff Palu in the 56th minute, and scored within 60 seconds with his second touch.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(48,48,48);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">He crossed again the 65th and 72nd minutes to rack up an incredible hat-trick</p></blockquote>

<p>I still maintain that Fekitoa's rush out of the line is part of the Landers defensive plan at times. The players around him seem to totally expect it and position themselves in case he doesn't slow down or stop the attack.</p>
<p>It looks like some clever thinking on turning a potential weakness into a strength. Using his speed off the mark to best effect.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He just needs to make sure that if he is playing in a different defensive system he doesn't do this by habit.</p>

<p>Even though the bloody Landers beat my Canes in the final last year relegating us to permanent brides maids, they are my favourite team to watch. Always have a clear game plan that everyone is on board with. They are the smartest Super team by some stretch at the moment. Chiefs, Blues, Saders and Canes always attract "WTF are they doing?" type comments.</p>

<p>JTA had a storming game in the loose. Unfortunately, he can't scrum. It must be a question of technique because he is really huge.</p>

<p>although that is probably more to do with Kaino coming back isnt it, <strong>would be Pryor to drop out of the match day squad.</strong></p>

<p>I would say it would be more likely to be Edwards. In that scenario 6 and 8 would already be covered by Luatua, Kaino and Ioane (and even Gibson), whereas Pryor provides cover for 7.</p>
