Von Appen and Marlot going? Hardly given much of a shot. I hope they have some locks and props signing on soon……

I just think he was pretty disappointing, and offered very little to the Rebels.

Monty Ioane important? You have a neck tattoo quota to maintain or something?

Ok. So you are just putting words in their mouth, then criticising them for it…

Did the Tahs make some excuse for the season by saying they are in a building phase?

What’s a side doing if not constantly building? Standing still? It’s a silly criticism.

Force were gunshy on picking him up with his injury history. But I expect it’s the reason Tahs are going to be able to keep him cheap

Not enthused about losing Harris. I think he has the potential to exhibit all of Swintons best attributes without the boneheaded penalties and cards. I’ve tried to remain positive about Swinton and feel that he will mature. But the latest incident was just about the last straw

I don’t necessarily like Donaldson at 15. I agree with BH in putting Marky there (and also having Walton in and Perese on the wing). But I don’t see it happening.

Im a big Donaldson supporter but Edmed gave the backs much better shape in his 20 mins. I think Donaldson to 15 is where they will go for MP (Moana Pasifika).

Kibirige can’t tackle for shit. Great in attack but a turnstile in defence

There is always Ed Craig

It was well before Wayne’s article that DC said he’d not be changing out the whole side. Just a couple this week and a couple next week for MP (Moana Pasifika). I expect, backups permitting, Holloway and HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) might get a spell next week.

I don’t think the Tahs bringing their A or B side will have much effect on ticket sales in NZ.

Well if he can move to the Force, then it’s the Brumbies salary cap that’s the issue. His top up was big in 2023 for the RWC year to compensate for the lower amount the Brumbies could afford. RA can’t keep that up.

That may be true for most Aussie teams who have no idea what to do with sudden possession. But many Kiwi counter attacking examples disagree with you. I would argue also that Hoopers steal and 50/22 was a direct lead up to Foketi’s try v Highlanders.

Functional Achillies tendons.

I don’t think holding your own in a ruck means as much these days. If you are hands on and lifting the ball then you generally don’t need to survive the clean out to get the chocolates. Speed to the ruck to clean out, or at least prevent hands on is more important. Unless you are Skelton sized...

We should cut the Highlanders from Super Rugby. Obviously not good enough

Terrible game. Didn’t deserve to win, but will take it.
