    Highlanders 73-10

    They're into the 5th/6th payoff

    The Blues showed glaring defensive weakness in the centres and Loose forwards for me in the first game. So unless they improve markedly I expect them to struggle in this game.

    @george33 Segner has been good but so has Lakai. Lakai's still firmly developing as a player but his ability to jump between 7 and 8 almost seamlessly against very strong opposition is something that will boost his international chances later in his career. Too early for him yet even though I think he's made for test rugby. I see him more as an 8 than a 7 though. Segner has been good but he won't have the size to be an International 6, would like to see him in the mix for that 7 role but I think someone like Harmon might get a shot before him.

    @African-Monkey think he is 3 month contract should take him to the final

    Certainly in the past, I think that has been the weakness of his game compared to say Cane?

    I seriously think you've been watching someone else and confusing them for Harmon. The only noticeable thing about Harmon when he first hit the scene was his support play and running.

    Have too agree, hard running was often the first thing i listed under his name

    @KiwiMurph yeah I find it baffling and a bit poor from the Blues doctor/s if he's deemed fit to play. We've just had an article come out about Billy Guyton and the damage his brain took playing rugby so it doesn't set a good precedent if Reiko gets knocked out cold, clearly out of it leaving the field and then is all of a sudden perfectly fine. There's surely underlining damage there that would suggest he should take a week off.

    I'm no expert however so if he's cleared then so be it, I just don't think it's a good look.

    IIRC the situation in club rugby is a mandatory stand down, even if cleared by a doctor. I don't see why that wouldn't apply for professionals.

    Twelve days before training or playing.

    I get that the professionals have a higher degree of scrutiny but caution should be taken IMHO

    @Winger Love is in a moon boot atm so he’ll probs be out until at least after the bye.

    I wouldn’t move Jordie at all, I’d say they will back Morgan at 10 and Godfrey at 15 against the Rebels. The only time I’d move Jordie is if we start getting injuries at fullback. I don’t think Jordie will play 10 unless all of Cameron, Morgan, Godfrey and Love are injured at the same time, which is not impossible but highly unlikely.

    @antipodean said in 6N Wales v Italy:

    @Catogrande hopefully he gets cited. The game would benefit immeasurably by preventing "waterboys" from entering the pitch. And penalizing substitutes who enter the field of play to celebrate a try.

    A blight on the game and Neil Jenkins should have more respect for the games's ethos and the officials. Give Refs the power to award a penalty to the opposition at halfway to stamp out this crap.

    and also a complete humour vacuum beside me

    Ken hell mate. Better hope the wife didn't sneak a peek over your shoulder.

    Wife was at home. Jr on the other side.

    Had stuck up twat who had no sense of humour on my left. Really pissed off we lost so didn't have the chance to be condescending.

    Would've liked to see Rieko step up and be a lot more involved, a la Telea. Disappointing

    In fact, my hunch is that Telea at 13 and RIoane at 14 would be an improvement!
