Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
Best game from Jordie/Proctor in a long time - amazing defence and leadership along with TJ. There was a funny moment at the end where it looked like Jordie was the only one who wanted to go for the bonus point. The front row looked gassed but all credit for getting the job done. I hope Numia keeps ...

Re: Hurricanes 2024. This year is not our year, again.
Yeah, the police college is just down the road..... absolute thugs come ruck time. Hurricanes with their normal PR absence. They are shockers, aren't they.

Re: Hurricanes 2024. This year is not our year, again.
We should be seeing the full squad released by the end of the week. There is still hope the midget is gone for a few more days. It was confirmed months ago - surprised there wasn't much chat about it on here. He sayonara'd off to Japan :smug: If you are lying to me there will be a vengeance laid do...

Re: Ardie
He's my favourite player but I've got a feeling he may join Samoa for the next world cup Wouldn't really begrudge him. Maybe the sting of losing this one will keep him coming back. I can see him getting on well with Razor too

Re: All Blacks V Los Pumas. RWC 2023 Semi Final thread.
Ardie Savea made 24 carries and 19 tackles (top of both stats), to go with his 22 carries and 15 tackles last week. He is playing freakishly well right now. Must surely be assured of a WPOTY nom and a very strong contender to win. My only question is why didn't we cotton wool him as soon as the gam...

Re: NZ v Ireland RWC Quarter Final Thread..
I know I haven't watched much AB rugby the last few years, but can somebody explain to me why they continue to overdo the kick and chase (up and under) ploy? The ABs did it at least a couple of times in the game (and subsequently lost possession as the kicks were uncontested), where the better play...

Re: NZ v Ireland RWC Quarter Final Thread..
Naming the squad 25 hours out from the game doesn't fill me with confidence. It would seem they are not confident about who is ready to play. If you don't really know if someone is ready now just pick the best fit players. They will have told the players who's in but why tell the opposition. Irelan...

Re: All Blacks 2023
So tactics to beat Ireland. There's been 3 things I've noticed: They don't compete or position well to a long throw to the back of the line out when the rear steps backwards. If the ABs can get their darts right there's a couple of variations they can try off of this. They are vulnerable to pure pa...

Re: All Blacks 2024
Thought you had to play in super rugby to get an AB gig? I still get tumescent thinking about Samisoni starting and Asafo finishing a test (or the other way around).

Re: All Blacks 2024
Without turning this into another boring Reiko shit storm - I like him at 13 and his combination with Jordie is only going to get better and better. We've spent two world cup cycles looking for a decent combo of contrasting players so I would stick with them. Also Aumua will be 30 next year and play...

Re: All Blacks 2024
I wonder if he's gonna keep Ardie as captain? will missing soup be a factor? I guess Scott Barrett is the only other obvious choice. From a Canes perspective I'm looking forward to Cam starting 9 (obviously) - Proctor and Love being involved next year and Ryan hopefully realising the massive potenti...

I found this part really interesting from Gatland "We had a robust debate, and I got our analysts to look at the stats. Surprisingly, the best option suggests it is better to let the ball go and not give away a penalty by holding on in the contest for the ball." I've been thinking the same thing - i...

Re: RWC Opening Match Les Bleus vs Les Tous Noirs Match Thread
I'm not overly concerned. Assuming our best forwards can come back and Jordie I think we will still be in a position to beat South Africa or Ireland in the quarters. South Africa showed last in the last RWC that peaking in the first match isn't necessary. France didn't get out of third gear but nei...

Re: All Blacks 2023
Most worrying from my perspective is the scrum getting reamed and Taukei'aho's lineout making him almost unplayable. This could improve come knockouts once Retallick/Taylor return. Next time we play rush defence like that the half back should try a few fake clearances to highlight how offside the ru...
