Thing is you can't blame Tana for 90% of the **** the blues did on the field, getting caught offside, not back 10, missing tackles, those are player issues, I actually feel sorry for Tana in a way. I felt he got the Blues job too early and unproven and should have turned it down to gather more...

I think they are both power wingers, Ioane is more the complete package.

To be honest Sopoaga was the weak link for me, sure nice goal kicking but offered nothing that Cruden and Barrett would have. Lots of players made mistakes and did dumb things but we missed Barrett so hard out there. As for the ref comment above, I thought he had a great game, missed things...

Same, he has shown over and over again in the last 3 years that fullback is not his position. Would rather have NMS show us how he plays there to be honest.

Selectors see both Dagg and Skudder on the wing as their preferred positions in an article I read a little while ago, obviously injury may change this.

The problem I have with no on field reds is the team who has a player injured beyond the point of being able to carry on is replaced, yet the player who infringed is allowed to carry on, therefore giving his team an advantage with a sub still in reserve and the injured player being replaced...

Brumbies played well in the first half, Hurricanes owned the second half. How **** was the crowd through, Brumbies didn't deserve the home game but they got it due to the conference system and then couldn't find any fans.

The Chiefs should win this when you look at the 2 teams, however finals footy is decided by which team turns up and is hungrier on the day. Home ground advantage does count esp with the travel factor. I agree with the call above about professional refs don't appear to be biased, however more...

Lions should be favs for at least a home final.

Lions handed the game by the ref.

Always knew he was going to get a rest, just how long was the question. I thought 6 weeks would be what it was.

Not too many surprises for the AB's ALB I though would start Not surprised he stuck with Smith over TJP, I think if TJP could keep his mouth shut and focus on the game and not winding up the ref he may get the nod. Dagg is a safe option, and tbh Dagg on the wing last year was amazing.

Just the mouth on him, its always someones fault and he acts like moron, if I was the ref I would card him for being a muppet.

Good game by the Chiefs. TJP is the biggest fuckwit in NZ rugby.

Unbelievable is a word I would use to describe McKenzie not being selected over Jordie. His stats speak for him. Fekitoa I kinda expected it (from the 33), while he has been good the other guys have been better or just as good and ALB showed last year what he can do.

Pulu hurt his knee? last week and TNW his ankle 2 weeks ago, pretty sure this is it

Apparently Retallick is out with headaches http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11870419

Have read a few articles this week and the common theme is Jordie Barrett over Mackenzie for the AB's utility. which based on form this year is just nuts. Can't see Lowe getting a spot, he outplayed that slug Julian last year for the whole season and still didn't get a foot in the door. Was a...

Mitchells a **** - hope he gets set on fire.

Hoping for a Crusaders win since the Chiefs can't top the table, best thing for NZ rugby.
