Asterisks come thick and fast with winning trophies.
No pity from this side of the Tasman anyway. Cooper kneed McCaw in the head and Genia perenially uses referees as shields.
No love lost.

By geez I repeat what I said last night, I really hope as an AB supporter Link picks Genia/Cooper for Wallabies ahead of White/To'omua, Genia looks absolutely lost and
Cooper, do the words Rabbit in headlights come to mind??
I didn't think the Canes played particularly well either, they seemed to lack urgency,almost as if they knew going through their strategy was all they needed to do, it was but I've seen them play a lot better!!

The whole backline structure is a classic RG muddle/confusion.
Taps is way better at 12, CFS at 13. Lucas is no 15 of adequate calibre in 2014. Harris a journeyman with a great boot.
And worse, much worse, Meehan absolutely clearly unambiguously has no clue regarding the design and coaching in of a properly structured attack for these players.
You're batting .500 with thick and fast, I'll give you that.

It's seriously hard not to play the man when comments like this get vomited up.
The Canes were great but the Reds were not shit and anyone with half a dozen good brain cells and two eyes can see that.
The Canes had all the ball and all of the territory but with 8mins to go the Reds could've taken the lead if not for Simmons decision to kick instead of pass.
Cooper had some shockers but most of them was when he was trying something on advantage and Genia has been average for ages so this is nothing new. If that's all you've got then pack up the keyboard champion and move on.
Anyway, that was a really fun game to watch. Canes showing why they're so hot right now, taking every chance they were given with half breaks being converted and lovely hands. The Reds showing again that they are not far off the pace yet seemingly unable to do the extra 5% required.
I will never understand why we kick so much ball away unnecessarily though.

Don't forget captain sook & Kurtley how come everyone's fucking it up but me Beale. Happy days. But I don't think the Link is that dumb. Loyal, yes, but not dumb.

fore sure, he is the new digby of the reds.
There was run he was absolutely puss, hit the line like a fairy.

Did you not see Ma'a Nonu last night?

Me either. Shit kicks have killed the Reds off this season. Although it might come back to a lack of linebreaking ability.

But that's just it. CFS and Tapaui seem to be able to break the line regularly. Harris has run a few great lines and crossed the ad line plenty of times. I don't buy the lack of ability bit we just don't seem to be on the same page at times.

only saw the highlights, with the Nonu break and great long pass to Visinia, still think Leiua has been a bit more consistent

I'll even go as far as to say that it's almost an unwillingness to use or play with the ball. There have been some simply staggering possession stats against us in games this season.

I was at the Blues Waratahs match and there was a lot more Nonu runs than made the highlights. Saw nothing of the Hurricanes Reds but Leiua, a non test player, will have a lot to prove at this point in the domestic season.

Lol! So someone calls Leiua the best 12 in the comp and you question whether they watched Nonu in the Blues game but you haven't seen Leiua in tonight's game! That's pretty funny!

Leiua is a Samoan test player and would arguably have been in the AB fold had he not been capped last year.
From what I've seen of both players this season, I think Leiua has been better.

I can't imagine he's better than an 88 test veteran having seen the TV footage or not.

Behind Nonu you mean.

Dave Cowper (27)
yes, behind Nonu. Doesn't mean he is playing worse. We all know test teams aren't made up of the best performing Super Rugby players. Israel Dagg over Ben Smith?
Let's just agree to disagree
.Alternatively we could let our wives fight to the death.
