perhaps, if you are in danger of going fucking blind from playing rugby, you should give it away?

Don't know if anyone saw (Or mentioned) a sound bite from.Hansen on Jordie.
He said that with older siblings in the team he can sometimes try too hard at proving himself for bros and misses the odd step and sometimes needs to slow down a bit.
That wasn't verbatim but thought it was an interesting point that I hadn't considered, when living in the shadows of your brothers, particularly Beauden who usually dominates headlines.
Ingrained sibling rivalry or competition doesn't stop when you become an AB, especially as the youngest.

3:00 in. Interesting thoughts. I do hope he is on the Nonu pathway, different character and style of play but it very much falls into the catagory of he is going to figure it out and be a legend, or not figure it out and be serviceable, but a constant frustration.

@rotated it's been pretty self-evident that he has been trying too much since his debut v the Lions, which is where he comes unstuck. A couple of games for the Canes this year he just did the basics and absolutely carved up, was the difference between a close loss and a comfortable win. When he plays within himself he's world class.

fucking wait on. He's a decent player but you don't need to pile all over it.

I find it a bit odd that someone who is 22yrs old, has played 50+ provincial games plus 7 times for the NZ U20's and 12 times for the AB's, is still trying too much "to impress his big bro".
It's one thing to still be getting a bit overawed by being on the biggest stage (haven't seen To'eava mentioned round here for a while...), but if he's still trying to impress his brothers then I'm a bit concerned!!!

@voodoo id except trying to be better than your brother/s is something that the other brother/s have been trying to since forever.
Kane and Abel...true story.

I don't have any brothers so no 1st hand knowledge. But if have though sibling rivalry would be left at the fucking door along with the provincial version when you make it to the big dance.
-
Did Steve say it was rivalry? I don't have a rivalry with my brother but I do probably try harder whenever I play alongside him, especially if it's his mates and not mine.
@Bones did you not watch it?
HE said Jordie is always trying to outdo them with everything, even at breakfast, if Scott has 8 weetbix, Jordie has 9, if Beaudie eats Sushi, Jordie has whale!
-
Do none of you have a younger brother?

@rotated said in RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool B):
Any mention of Cane in the announcment? Seems odd he doesn't have Savea's spot on the bench. Already short of a gallop this year coming back from injury, with his start cut short last week - would have though 20 minutes off the bench would have done him more good than Savea.
there's only 4 days between Canada and Namibia - so I supsect all the available players will roll out next week. Cane, Retallick if fit, etc

I'd say it's either Cane or BFA as captain in the Namibia game. Read and Whitelock to be rested.

The Canuck No.6 - Rumball - has a great name. Beats Wales' Sampson Lee for sheer rugby coolness

that is one of the most ridiculous things i have ever seen. he's not serious about playing in those is he? I'm being merked here right?
Fuck no! He is getting a special cape as well.

I thought it was a cloak, and Cane has it now no?
