Lions vs Canes
-
@Jaguares4real they have lacked a bit of edge, but they haven't lacked toughness IMO. Infact that is exactly what has got them over the line in some of those tighter games this year.
I know many on here, including myself have bagged the likes of Prinsep and Blackwell but you can't fault their consistent effort on defense. They both have pretty big tickers, type of players you need in a side to give you that hardness.
Big ups to Peter Umaga Jensen who was very solid at centre - big, powerful and seemed to make all the right decisions both on defence and attack. Hopefully they keep him there through the playoffs because Jordie needs to be at Fullback.

@Bones Yeah how is it not a card. Should in fact be red. Went high (neck), ended higher and has force. Thats what is the determining factors for red. All ticked in this instance
I didn't see a replay but on first viewing it looked about the same as Fifita's one last week.

Good win. Coles and Ardie brilliant when they came on. Master stroke that.
Been a good little tour this one.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Will be a big confidence booster with a lot of wider squad members getting a few minutes.

Any word on BB’s injury?
Not injured, just sick.
Ok, Cheers.

Beaudy needs to play every remaining game for us, including next week. I feel he's had too much time off this year and it's probably prevented him from getting any real momentum in his game.

On the other hand our backup (Marshall) needs game time. And the risk of injury in a sort of meaningless game

Disagree. BB was shattered by the time of November tests last year. He played too much Rugby last year.
I am glad that the world's best player is having his schedule managed to give him the best possible chance to shine in the RWC knockouts.

He's not having his schedule managed, he's just been injured for most of Super rugby.

Totally agree. He's been overused by the Canes for a few years now. Only when you see him live do you appreciate how much ground he covers in a game. His form may fluctuate but his effort and commitment can never be faulted. An extended period of rest, even if due to injury, is good for the ABs later on in the year.

Ok so to be fair, who's form and commitment to the ABs do you fault and why?

Andrew Merhtens hasn't played for the ABs in years.

I was merely telling Bones the Troll to go f himself. To think I nearly gave myself to him.
