Anscombe is nowhere near the level of Cruden. He stands much deeper and cannot control the game nearly as well. I think they lose a lot.

Great win Force. A bunch of unknowns playing for each other can go far. (Rough) similarities can be drawn to the Chiefs.

Said partly in jest. Luatua will be worried that he will be 3rd choice. That is common sense. I know that are not actually afraid of Kaino, but his hard nosed attitude should ripple through the other forward (hopefully)

Kaino's introduction changed the forward pack immediately. They trashed the Highlanders physically. I think everyone else in the Blues is afraid of him. Luatua is pissing himself that he is going to lose his AB spot so he is actually trying harder and running straight. I think he will be a...

Shiggins, the one thing that would be make me happy is if you would learn to spell definitely. Write 5 times please - definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely. Sorry, I'm an English teacher.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=11197763 From Gordon Tietjens himself "And if he could pick anyone to play for him, Tietjens has a clear candidate: "Sonny Bill Williams looks like the ultimate athlete." End of argument.

Will he change though? To his credit, Quade did some (or was forced to) do some introspection. He grew up. I wonder if this incident has dented his ego, or is he still a fluffybunny?

Yeah, he'd be crap with his total lack of ability to offload in the tackle and lack of power in one on one contests in the tackle and breakdown.:rolleyes:

The Chiefs will be hard to beat with SBW and Fruean reunited in the midfield (this time at the Chiefs rather than the Saders).

Read is better than Buck or Zinny. Neither came close to dominating the game as much as he does. Buck could nothing other than drive it up the guts. Playing with a busted scrotum shows you are tough, not much else.

Kieran Read tribute video It is kind of ridiculous how good he is.

Holy Moly! An upset is on the cards.

All Blacks have a lot of changes. Hansen said they need fresh legs to avoid a loss. ALL BLACKS: Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Ben Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (capt), Steven Luatua, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Charlie Faumuina, Andrew Hore...

Currently, I would put Ardie Savea behind McCaw, Cane, Todd, Latimer and Braid. He has freakish atheticism, but is way too raw.

You've changed your tune. You were the one hyping him a year ago.

Your coach is way too conservative Blue. NOW is the time to blood du Toit and Serfontein. Perfect opportunity, instead they drag the old meathead back. I am sure he'll maim a few people and play 'ard Bok rugby, but he isn't the future.

Now that is an overstatement. Not saying they don't make a few bad choices, but by and large they get most of the high performing players in each year. Its Kieran Read. I know a common and understandable error.

I have no idea if McCaw is going downhill yet. Though his performance to lead the ABs against the Boks at Ellis park was great.I highly doubt McCaw will be nominated this year. He's hardly played any rugby. Just because I feel like saying it. IMO - Kieran Read is easily the best player in the...
