Hurricanes v Blues

@Chris I really think that not trusting the squad has been a huge issue this year. There are times the opposition just looks fresher.

@Tim the ginga Christie was pretty bad for the Canes as well

We saw the same thing with Nonu for years though - would just phone it in for Super, and then smash it at International level.
Irrelevant, as SBW's not Nonu. If anything SBW was less effective at test level than Super, and at this rate if he is picked it would be in the place of a more deserving player.
ha ha ha. So, just to be clear, you don't think discussing the attributes of a midfielder who doesn't perform in Super is relevant. Righto, my bad.

Yep, your bad, both for first suggesting SBW should be picked even though he has been ordinary because he'll miraculously somehow get better in black like a totally different player, and for the terrible attempt at a strawman argument above.

Some nice patience shown by the Blues for that try at half time. Only a few weeks ago you'd swear that they'd panic and find a way to stuff it up..
There's still time for the blues to stuff it up,

Yup

At halftime i thought that game was buried.
But once the Canes hit the front, the result never looked like being overturned, despite the close score
It’s fucking flabbergasting how the Blues just continued to make shit decision after shit decision - some of those ‘exits’ were more than embarrassing. I’ll admit that they had a few hard calls against them though. Nevertheless, the Canes were very very good - excellent win.

Compusure and consistency missing- yep.
Both teams have some good young prospects though. And in the past previous Blues teams would have folded.
Ma'a's last hurrah?
