Has Jordie had a hand transplant and Shields was the donor?

Love is shit

Agree. As far as I can remember he was the first person in the entire world, in entire history, to miss a kick at this stadium. Not what I am looking for in an AB.

I was going to type something else pithy....but holeeeee fuuuuck. That kick...was that Love?

Feels like a long time since we've seen a NZ winger in Fineanganofo's form.

Big, strong, fast and good on the feet.

Do we pick him this year for the ABs and deal with next year, next year?

I am starting to think he is the player I am waiting for Clarke to be.

I think Clarke was our best winger last year. Fineanganofo is just better, in all facets.

Clarke is better under the high ball and is tested at test level

Fineanganofo did pretty good for the 7s team and is great under the high ball.

I'm a huge Fehi fan.

But to say that he's better than Clarke in all facets is not accurate

In all seriousness Clarke hasn't had many great games for the ABs. He'd been inconsistent until last year and while he was clearly our best winger last year he only played a few games due to injury.

Let's not rewrite his career based on a few good games.

I don't disagree.

I'd pick Fehi in black this year.

The question is can he deliver in super rugby semis/finals and tests.

Based on his 7s career I'd say yes.

As it is the Canes will get knocked out in the quarters by the Brumbies as per usual.

Shit handling in the last quarter last week too. Frustrating

Higgins leaving has released any pressure on Jordie to perform.

FFS, bad option taking. Not what the Canes or the ABs want. Making Rova feel a little better

I am glad you didn't because that would have been out of character for you.

Worst performance by Jordie I’ve ever seen. He’s been absolutely garbage tonight.

Enari is coming good hopefully. His pass has improved.

Hard to fault Enari's performance so far, he's been great. Possibly behind a better forward pack though.

I'm glad we've finally had a game against the Brumbies that isn't at GIO. In the last 10 years (before tonight) the Canes have played the Brumbies 13 times and only had the home game 3 times. Won all at home and 2 at GIO.

So Jordie looks a million bucks if he's just catching kicks or kicking.

That's at least twice Love has coughed up the ball trying to be cute.

Someone should tell him less is more. It would be good advice if he gets picked to play at test level as a 10

Rova caps off a very good game for the Canes. Reuben nails a tight angle conversion too

Nice training run, letting that shit show of a brumbies team off the donut is a bit of a downer
