    Cieran Reid was a much better captain than Sam Kane will ever be apparently.......

    Isn't Kane a black cap?

    Indeed he is but I'm deeply offended at the 25% correct spelling rate of this All Black fan......

      I made the mistake of reading comments on the All Blacks Facebook announcement. Anyone labouring under the belief New Zealanders are knowledgeable about rugby should read those. We're geniuses in comparison.

      What is the mood there?

      Mostly supportive, but too may complaining that he's not the best flanker we have, that he's not smart enough to be captain. Then there's those upset that despite no rugby at the moment, they've decided to announce him as captain.

      Just too many retards.

            Really sucks we don't have any AB rugby to look forward to right now.

            Cane is a good choice, I've always favoured him over Whitelock. He has a bit of McCaw about him with his sheer determination that would inspire the others.

            On Ardie - I really like him at 8 and would be happy with 6. Big Bopper / 7. Cane / 8. Ardie.

            I actually think Ardie will go better at 8 than Read did for his last couple of seasons. He's explosive with ball in hand and can play a wider game there while our 6/7 keep it tight - that worked perfectly when Read was in his prime.

            I don't think he should play 6 and he should never in a thousand years have started at 7 over Cane against a team whose only fucking plan of attack was to beat us up in the forwards. Jesus Christ that was some braindead shit from the coaches.

                        I'm busy and Jacinda won't let me go to Cairns, so ask your friend to do it.

                              Joe Moody missed a lot of tackles that night. Probably his worst performance in a black jersey.

                              I guess you haven't heard about that day Joe put on a black v-neck and proceeded to accidentally run over his neighbours cat, dropped his lunch on the floor (carpet) on the way out to the deck and then to top it all off had a sloppy shit where half of it sprayed on that top ledge bit of the bowl. Bought an instant kiwi that was a dud too.

                                    As long as he's singing "always look on the bright side of life"... Not sure if Jesus would have been much good at rugby, although I suppose he was a tradie, so tougher than he was depicted.
