The gap between Aaron Smith and every other halfback in NZ is like the Grand Canyon.
Unfortunately we don’t have a culture in NZ of producing top quality, technical halfbacks. We tend to favour guys who are great footy players, but who are a bit small, and then squeeze them in there. Every 30 years or so a Bachop or a Smith comes along but we really struggle to produce decent 9s consistently like other nations do (thinking especially countries like RSA, France and Wales here). A shit halfback is like having a shit forward pack - just kills everything at the source
And when people identify a suitable candidate to replace Smith, he gets no gametime.

I don't have a problem with that card. Clearly offside at the lineout and on a team warning for too many penalties.

And all the five in a row the chiefs got first half?

@gt12 Is there a six in the squad?
Depth is poor this year (worse than recent years), and it's really showing.
Or a decent 8.
Flanders just resgined with the Canes otherwise he would have been a good pickup for these positions.

Does Webber know his primary job is to pass to others?

@antipodean although TBF, when TJP took off was a prime chance for him to take a quick dart into that space.
BUt jeez, the chiefs need to put name tags on each other
