Lions vs Canes
-
@Chris Instead of moving so many players around in the backs, why not just give Umaga-Jensen a crack at 13 + Tiatia would have to be the slowest winger running around.

@Canes4life Yeah I thought Leave Jordie at 15,And as you have mentioned give Umanga-Jenson a run at 13 makes a lot more sense.

The Plun is going for all the awards - slowest winger, shortest lock, tallest centre ...

Don't like the line-up. Why don't they give the start to Coles and Ardie? I get they're playing at altitude, but it seems a better strategy to score as many points as possible in the first half to create a buffer, and then hope not to concede too many points in the 2nd. This line-up seems to suggest they want to keep some fire-power for the 2nd half, but how well will that work if the rest of the squad is tired? Maybe it will work, but I'm not too confident.
Tiatia is too slow for a wing and starting Lam at 11 and Rayasi at 14 seems so much better. And Jordie at 13 is a recipe for disaster; they tried that twice last year, in a game against the Reds in which the Canes struggled and against the Crusaders, which they lost. He is not a centre and his best spot is at fullback. Agree that they should have gone for PU-J.

@Stargazer Yeah silly selections IMO, I don't mind the Savea benching though because we need to keep our best player fresh as possible. Should have started Coles as he needs to start playing big minutes if he is going to feature heavily in the playoffs. But yeah, PUJ should have started and it would have kept everything else the same as it was last week.
I hope he doesn't start doing this in knock-out football.

@Duluth solid achievement, I'm sure they aren't satisfied with just one title though.

@Canes4life amazingly, I can see them getting a lot more even with sabbaticals on the horizon

Referee: Jaco Peyper
AR1: Egon Seconds
AR2: Stefan Geldenhuys
TMO: Willie VosPeyper is not the worst ref around, but it's concerning that it's an all South African refereeing panel again.
