Carn 'Tahs!!! This will be a great final and should be a wonderful advertisement for the sport with the way both teams have been playing. Crusaders will be looking to attack the 'Tahs weaknesses like the Brumbies did but I reckon they'll be a little harder to deal with, especially in Nadolo...

It's a joke about his retirement

Yeah he was incredibly impressive v. the Highlanders, even more so when I realized how young he is.

That Du-Toit lad is a mountain, he made Jannie look small when they both walked off! Can't see the Sharks coming back at this point. They aren't even winning the territory game.

I'd still take a slightly watered-down Vito over any of our current loosies for pure impact on both sides of the ball. He's more than quick enough to run with the backs too, has the height to jump in the lineout, seems good behind a less-than-stellar Hurricanes scrum so he's got the experience...

The thought that we may by some miracle have gotten our hands on Vito excites me more than JOC (James O'Connor) or Special K. Been a massive fan of Vito since he was on the 7s circuit - he'd change the dynamic of our pack in a huge way.

He hurt his knee in rd. 13 but I don't think it was particularly serious as their coach was expecting him back in time for finals.

Lambie at 10 changes a lot - Shorks are a totally different team with him starting as he is streets ahead of Frans at playing 10 right now. Reid to play out of his skin and carry the Crusaders to win by 8.

I'm over the moon that we have Special K. That alleged bill just makes me wonder how the fuck we are going to pay for a reliable ball runner in the forwards if we're supposedly picking up JOC (James O'Connor) as well. If Richard's recruitment policy proves to be flash over substance we are properly screwed.

Not sure if happy or sad

I don't give a flying fuck who wins Super Rugby as long as it isn't the Crusaders.

Pragmatic as always. Come to think of it he's probably go an easier pathway with the Crusaders as they literally can't avoid playing an at-best-questionable winger at 14 with their current squad.

Maybe Chris spotted a particular opportunity and I'm drawing a long bow but a Queensland born and bred player heading to fucking Christchurch of all places makes you wonder how bad things are internally and how long they've been this bad for things to turn out this way. Surely he wouldn't have...

It's for one of their U-23 side, not the main one.

Yeah mate, he is - plays there for Saracens and USA. His dimensions are almost identical to Horwill and is very athletic for his size (6'7" 255-260lb). He's got a funny story already, funnier if he's actually coming to Ballymore. Learned his basketball in Sydney, played basketball in college...

Juan Martin-Hernandez has committed himself to the Argentinian national team, unfortunately it's no longer 2008 and he's getting a bit long in the tooth these days: http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,16024_9385193,00.html I've always wondered how good he could have become if he opted to...
