If unforced errors like kicking it out on the full isn't struggling then what is? If there is a good chance that by putting someone under pressure then they're a lot more likely to make mistake then isn't that by definition 'struggling under pressure'? Stephen Donald knows all about it too...

How many poor kicks or kicks out on the full did he do against the Tahs in the 2nd match-up? Or against the Blues? Or even one against the Hurricanes? A flick pass here and a step there doesn't a pressure player make.

LMFAO.....that white strip is terrible. The shorts kill it!! Doesn't look like a rugby strip at all IMO....go play some soccer boys

Cut down QC (Quade Cooper)'s time and space and you start to see cracks in his game. There were a couple of opportunites that weren't well taken in the last match-up - I'd loved to have seen QC (Quade Cooper) and Ranger one-on-one....if only Munroe had passed early. Kaino and Faumuina will add some starch to the pack that...

Blues Team has been named: Lowrey hasn't been overly impressive this season. Steady but not impressive. And I'm still being kept awake at night thinking about McAllister and Brett defending together in the back-line.

Why oh why have rugby teams taken to wearing soccer jerseys????

OK....entering the dragon's den..... I would have played KB (Kurtley Beale) at 10 right from the get-go. He should have trained there pre-season and started there right from Game 1 IMO. I'd have taken him at 1st-five over Barnes every day of the week. He's QC (Quade Cooper) without as many brain explosions and probably...

There is no live rugby played free-to-air in NZ. The Tests are usually delayed on channel 3 or something but not many Super rugby games are FTA at all.

Would it though? They obviously don't care if they lose....

Yep, NZ IS my 1st team AND I hate it when it happens with the ABs. Ross Filipo, Kevin Senio are two guys off the top of my head who it really pisses me off that they got AB caps and are now in the international wilderness so to speak. I don't think he is a great example either as he DID...

With Manu Samoa being my '2nd' team....I hate this bullshit. It ruins world rugby. If Timani isn't good enough to be a Wallaby now then don't cap him. Let him make the decision about whether he will play for Tonga at the RWC or if he thinks he'll be good enough in the future and hence...

The only place where the 2007 resting of ABs may be a factor is in Canterbury where there are plenty of pro-Deans/anti-Henry fans. They have such a good team though and they are as parochial as hell so I doubt it. People were choosing warm lounges and bars and short beer lines long before 2007...

Disagree. Maybe he used to be....but when was the last time he lost a game?? Or even put the game on the line?

Someone back home told me that Toeava is a chance to make it......I'd take Ice over Ranger I think....

They looked like some kind of freakin' medieval torture device....honestly...

And there's something about rain causes people's driving skills to to amazingly disappear.....

Correct. It was like in the dying minutes of a Test in Dunedin....geez that pissed me off too.....lol

If you left at 7.30pm to get to the game, you'd probably get to your seat about 8.30pm or later....after you finally got to the park, found somewhere to park, walked the 1.5km's to get back to the stadium and bought your ticket.

How about his little hissy fit when Brett stripped him in the tackle in the first half.....the ref said something to him like, "Don't get upset just because you lost the ball"......lol

I meant my favorites :) Without Toeava and Ranger, the Blues lose so much in the backline. Toeava was the form 15 in NZ and maybe the tournament before his injury and Ranger has the ability to single-handedly turn a game around. Brett and McAllister in the backline together are a scary prospect...
