<p>Nah, the Canes have the best 7 and 10 in the history of <strike>NZ</strike> world rugby, the Chiefs don't stand a chance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seriously though, I still think the travel will play a big part. It's easy to say it won't matter on the night but even if the players are up to it, preparation is everything in tight games and the Canes have had an extra couple of days of it.</p> -

Really hope the Canes pull it off but won't be too disappointed if they lose out to the Chiefs. They've exceeded my wildest expectations getting this far.<br><br>
Would be bloody ironic though if they won this year after losing both centres, both locks, NMS, and now Coles, and with a fat, shit Savea. -

<p>No, I said that Cruden was "maybe" the third best first five from the Canes catchment area. Hardly a proclamation. It was more of an acknowledgement that the lower/eastern/western North Island is the nursery of rugby awesomeness that attempts to keep AB rugby strong. As everyone knows, when lower/eastern/western North Island rugby is strong, All Black rugby is strong.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In my defense, in the RWC2015 Cruden couldn't have played better than Carter and would have been a worse bench warmer than BB. Also in the 2015 Soup Rugby final Lima > BB, so 2015-16 form suggests Carter > Lima > BB. So therefore, Carter > Lima > BB > Cruden. Carter has retired from NZ rugby so therefore Cruden is "maybe" the third best first five from the Canes catchment area. Logic proven.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone suggesting Cruden is in the running has to go to ancient 2014 history.</p>

<p>I rest my case your honor. </p>

<p>PS Been at Inlaw's cousin birthday thing for several hours all ready and I've been drinking and no one has fed me and I wasn't aloud to go to game this weekend by Wife (her "You went last weekend to the rugby, and if they win you can go next weekend and I said we'd be there six months ago, you never go to my family's things.. why is that?...don't you like them???? Me "yes, dear, OK, I'll go".) If I swear, spell badly and generally act like a drunk guy streaming game on phone, I apologize in advance.</p> -
