He is selected as the best option to cover both sides of the scrum, Once the new two props allowed as substitutes is allowed, he'll struggle to hold his place I reckon.

All Black squad named. No Ali or Guildford - great! Surprised Thomson made it with only 3 locks named. Charlie Faumuina is the new cap. Unlucky - Craig Clarke, Ben T Hookers Andrew Hore - Taranaki (65) Keven Mealamu - Auckland (93) Props Wyatt Crockett - Canterbury (6) Charlie Faumuina...

I'd say he Stuff article is bullshit in regard to Messam. The ABs want a physical 6, which means either Vito or Messam. Bye Bye Thomson.

Going for a try at 27 -6 up. That's why I like this side.

Sharks are being bitch-slapped Go Chiefs!!! You can do it.

Tamiefuna should have got a yellow for that shoulder charge.

Cruden is playing better than Dan Carter. Challenging perhaps.

Sharks' defence is top-notch. The Chiefs look nervous.

You don't say!

Cooper would last about 3 seconds with McCaw. There, I said it. My Dad is tougher than your Dad.

Cooper vs McCaw would sure get the crowds in. I'd pay to see that.

I'll be supporting the Chiefs, and I think home advantage will get them home. That said, if Craig Clarke doesn't play, I think it'll be advantage Sharks. I seriously won't mind the Sharks winning. They'd deserve it and Bismarck is my favorite non-NZ player.

He'd still lose. (sorry couldn't resist)

The goal-kicking stats are impressive. That is pretty much better than anyone going around. Attack, defense, and vision of Carter???- we'll see.

Are you sure you are anointing this kid too soon. He has not played international level yet.

He learnt and improved his man-management skills from that tour. In terms of coaching the All Blacks, he is one of the most successful AB coaches of all time. 5 Tri-Nations, 1 World Cup, 3 Grand Slams, 5 times IRB coach of the year, 7 straight Bledisloes - you are hard to please.

Great news for the other Aussie teams. You might as well chalk up your two conference wins each right now.

Manlove alert.

I wish he had kept his mouth shut - (even though he is just being honest) We lost. Get over it. It does sell books though

Isn't one of the advantages of finishinghigher up that you DON'T have to travel?
