Hold up, Clarke pleads guilty from running from the cops this week and he's good to play rugby?

Doesn't really do much to squash the idea that rugby players are untouchable over there!

Trying to work out if the Blues can play as dumb again this week against my Canes. I laughing if anyone thinks it was just Barrett that lost that game against the Clan (he was pisspoor) I don't think they watched the gam. The whole team looked to be in a daze. How the hell anyone as captain (Paps) when opposition is down to 13 men would take lineout option and not a scrum is beyond me. And then just to show Paps isn't the only halfwit, then lineout caller (looked like Pat T) called the throw to where Fabian Holland (the new Sam Whitelock) was jumping surrounded by the only lifters they had left in the forward pack. Ioane decided his brother had gone so he had to be the extra dumb one from family, first time he touched ball, he just heaved it about 5 metre forward and in front of player (I think) it was intended for, then seemed to go into wander around field mode.
I really think the whole team must of either had a joint at halftime or there was something in water!!!

Mind you the bastards are liable to finally switch on this week and give Canes a touch up.

On this week's game, looking like good weather in Wellington, so will be interesting. Canes still could desperately with some injured players back, Love,Proctor, Lomax and Aumua mainly.
Been pretty happy with how young Godfrey has stood up ay 10, I really though he needed another year, as he still doesn't start at 10 for Hawkes Bay much, but he certainly looked a pretty composed 10 last week, seems no problems bossing around backline. I pretty nervy about Sullivan's defence reads at 13, and I think he causing our wings to come in a bit, and leaving room out there? Still another weekend of rugby to look forward to.

I see that Sky don't really subscribe to the 'let's not show a possibly seriously injured player receiving treatment until we know the severity' school of thought that has become standard practice.
