FFS! - Wing Julian Savea, midfielder Francis Saili and blindside Steve Luatua all limped off at various stages of the second half against Wellington in front of 6000 fans. A few highlights here -...

If the Wallaby forwards are really up for smashing the ABs, and the ABs are, for whatever reason, a bit below par (an unfit Richie doesn't help, nor an out of form Woodcock), then I think the Wallabies will sneak it.

I agree A Smith looked really good behind the AB pack and I agree he is the number one HB. I meant TJP should have been given some leniency because the Canes pack were pretty poor. Totally agree with you about TKB. He has been behind a dominant pack and not looked great. A good defender, but...

I'm excited about TJ Perenara,Luatua and Piutau joining the squad. Luatua is a powerful player who can go hard for 80 minutes. Good in the lineout and an intelligent bloke. Number 6 has suddenly become very congested in NZ (a bit like 7 for you guys) with Messam, Luatua, Shields and now Jerome...

One tactic (admittedly a little risky). Quade Cooper cross-field bombing for Folau to take the high kick in goal vs Savea. Play Sio for some of the game to see if can cut it

I heard, and this could be bullshit, that he would play at 15 with Charles Piutau moving to 13 to partner Francis Sailli now that Ranger has gone.

You and your facts.

Mobile, but scrummaging not good enough. He is going to play for the Chiefs next year.

CLYDE Rathbone has made the extraordinary claim that the Brumbies should not have won the Super Rugby title because they played negative rugby throughout the year, but laid the blame squarely on the game's lawmakers...

For pure wingers there is only Savea - with Frank Halai in the wider training group. However, B Smith and Piutau will do the job very well on the wing if required. Having FBs on the wing is no problem as long they can fulfill the role.

One of either Mealamu or Hore would be gone now I think - but this is a position of weakness for NZ - so they are both still in the mix. Woodcock showed nothing in the Super season. He is under pressure.

They should have finished top, then perhaps it would have been the Chiefs doing the travelling.

BACK TO BACK!!!!!!!!!!! Rennie is the best coach in the Super 15 bar none.

Retallick is a monster.

Cruden's missed kicks -aaah

Close, but the Brumbies look more composed

Brumbies looking the goods. Chiefs look nervous.
