Bay of Plenty v Wellington
-
Three scrums so far, two have been demolition derbies and WEllington just holding on in the third, albeit under pressure. Canes4Life is still happy that his front row are very promising players.
-
@Higgins lol these guys are 21. To expect them to be the full package yet is just moronic.
If they are 26/27 and still scrummaging like this, then yeah I would be pissed off.
@Canes4life If they are the best props available in Wellington and being selected on current merit, rather than what they might be like in five years time, then there must be a serious shortage of scrummaging props available for the selectors to pick from.

@Higgins if you can’t see the upside of having these guys in the team atm, then I don’t know what to say. The NPC is a development competition for Super Rugby now and these games are the perfect opportunity for guys like Fidow and Numia to learn facing up to vets like Geldenhuys.
The mobility of those three front rowers is outstanding, if they can improve their scrummaging then they will be close to A.Bs level based on Hansen’s assessment of the modern game.

Not even a warning ...?
@Steven-Harris I think they got one, now

I like what I'm seeing from Trask. Promising.
Judd leaving for Japan is unfortunate for the Canes.
@Stargazer yeah massive shame, he was outstanding for the Canes this year.
Trask looking class, thought he was a Fullback, looks better at First Five.

Wellington need to stop using Kafatolu as a main ball carrier. Old man getting dominated.

Gibbes needs to replace Fidow, he looks injured.

@Steven-Harris I actually think Numia's gone alright (hence the look he gave Fidow before), Fidow has been shafted big time though.
