Unfortunately with the travel factor thing to South Africa & Argentina there’s going to be longer breaks between games.
Cruden dropped for the rest of the comp :

Who the NZ teams won’t play :
Hurricanes : Brumbies – Cheetahs
Chiefs : Waratahs – Lions
Crusaders : Force – Stormers
Highlanders : Rebels – Bulls
Blues : Reds – SharksCanes play their first 2 matches in South Africa, I’ll be quite happy if we can win one of those games, which would give us an ok start & also get the S.A. road trip out the way.
Looks like Fekitoa is going to start at 2nd-five against Argies, a position that is much more suited to him that centre, Nonu & Crotty are out through injury, some good news though, Kaino, Messam & Whitelock return.
Rugby Championship :
1. ABs – {p 4} – 16pts
2. Aussie – {P 4} – 10pts
3. Boks – {p 4} – 10pts

7. B.O.P. 6 7How many more chances is Luatua going to get ??? other than him taking the pill up a couple of times in the early stages of the test he was non-existent,work rate & cleanout at the breakdowns by the loosies was much better when he went off & Cane came on.
Bok’s had a golden opportunity to win that match, should of taken that shot at goal in front of our posts when there was still 8 minutes remaining, brain explosion stuff !
Especially against the Boks you need a physical number 6, Luatua has never really being in that category, with Kaino & Messam out I would of had McCaw at 6.

Argie’s will never be any good unless they start working on ways to use the ball on attack… they’re clearly obsessed with their scrum, therefore boring people to fuckin’ death, in fact they mucked around that much in the scrum just before halftime the AB’s turned the pill over & scored a try.
Other than that poor kicking option by Nonu where one of their players charged the ball down { should of been awarded a try } otherwise didn’t even come close to creating something to get over the line.
Wgtn have a huge injury list, but for individuals to play as bad as they are is bloody unbelievable ! …& just to make things worse how the hell did Wgtn manage to lose their last match against the Jafa’s after been ahead at halftime by 30-6 ??????
FFS !!! couldn’t believe what I was watching ??? …Northland got away with a lot of offside stuff, but Wgtn were that bloody useless they played like the ‘ Blind Keystone Cops Rugby Team ‘ hard to see them even winning one game in the comp this year.
Surprised Crotty got the start at 2nd-five.
AB’s v Aussie { Auck }
Sat – 23rd Aug : 7.35pm
Sky Sport 1.Very good points… definitely need to extend the comp by a couple of weeks & play more daytime rugby, unfortunately the idiots in the NZRU Board don’t seem to have too much nous about running the game.
agreed, I’d have Fekitoa starting inside Conrad Smith as well… Crotty’s only a solid sort of player, but generally takes good options & doesn’t make many mistakes, so with him coming off the bench reckon he’d do a good job of either covering 2nd-five or centre.
