Proof?

Eddie did exactly this with Farrell. There are similarities between the two.

He's probably continuing his career as one of the most talented and versatile rugby footballers in a generation

I quite liked 11 for its simplicity. If 15 had been symmetrical it would have been my favourite.

It would appear there's been a cull to accommodate the Reds and Tahs players, who weren't at that stage with the squad.

No shame in that performance. Hopefully it advertises the quality of the playing group to prospective coaching candidates. There are lots of good players in our squad and almost all of them are easily Super standard.

Reds must be one of the worst teams in the comp for getting across the gain line via phase play. We just look like we have no ideas other than when McDermott, Wilson or Vunivalu make a like break.

Ravai seems to get more dependable every week.

These are very quick scrum penalties. Gardner must be absolutely sure that we are smashing them.

I haven't heard booing much at Suncorp but I did once hear a block in row 1 yell 'YOUR CHIPS ARE READY' when a Stormers kicker was taking a long time on a penalty near the sideline.

Shit post incoming: These NZ fans can't believe it when ruck penalties go against them in NZ.

Get out of jail free card is right. Very dumb from the Chiefs winger

Not a good look having so many spare seats for NZ's biggest market in a home playoff

Those are false equivalencies because Foley has never demonstrated the levels of play of a Sexton or a Pollard. His experience only shows that his performances are not adequate to lead a top tier team to the most important trophy in Rugby, in my opinion. I would dearly love to be proven wrong, I...

They haven't always been selected in those jerseys in the last 5 years and in reference to this discussion my belief is that we can be much more optimistic with our selections than Foley especially, who is a known quantity.

Because people watched the games and didn't find the players you mention to have contributed greatly to the mediocrity. Though I am not as harsh on Hodge as others, I think there's more upside selecting others.

Yes, my point being Kellaway has been better than Wright over the last couple of years across quite a few tests now.

I think Super form becomes less relevant when you have years of Test experience to draw from. For that reason I'd prefer Kellaway to Wright at Fullback given he's less prone to a brain explosion. We don't really have a pure fullback other than Campbell in contention and he's not been in...

I really wish we hadn't made the finals. Compulsively I will watch, I will get my hopes up and I will be pissed off when those hopes are driven straight into the molten core of the earth. But maybe we have a chance...
