I'd start Lakai at 7 for ABs
I've been asking why he hasn't been played there for a couple of seasons.
Roigard is such a little schemer.
You cant forget him and drift onto the next man. He will find the weak shoulder.
He buys his ten an extra yard due to the hesitation he creates for the defence.
The most important Allblack right now for me.

Not if BB is selected as starting ten.
Haven't read the thread, but my 2c...
Obviously one-sided. Best team won.
But Blues were much more engaged than the Crusaders were last night.
Hurricanes had to battle in the first half.
But crickey, top two teams are measurably better than the rest this year.

@Crazy-Horse so not gamesmanship?
A wise man used to say if you arent cheating you aren't trying hard enough
Big difference between stretching the rules and acting like a Soccer player.

I actually didn't see his fake, just saw him take off. He won't get away with that too often in future I'd imagine

I'm inclined to think he wasn't exactly faking, but pushed through the pain for his team. He didn't look comfortable when he took the tap.

I didn't see it either and hope it didn't happen. But if it did, he needs a kick up the arse.
That sort of stupidity can cost you games

Disagree. The most important AB is the one BB feels most comfortable playing behind.

Ha ha! In an ideal world Christie wouldn't be in the squad, let alone the 23, and BB would be on the bench at best.
But to be fair to Christie, he gives 110% and really stepped up last year when all other options were injured.

George Bridge gave 130%.

Kit Fawcett says "Hi"
Shit act from roigard and proof positive all halfbacks are germs no matter where they are from. Taking advantage of the blues players showing a bit of sportsmanship is pretty fucked.
I love that the same fucking idiotic social.media pages that love to wank on about how rugby is different because of its sportsmanship will also highlight this.
Society continues to get dumber
@mariner4life Lol mate not even good bait, BB checking he ok after he got penalised (fair enough helps refs decided it was accident), and Bradley Slater is actually got arm around BB, checking he ok, no ther 'sporting' Blues there . All the other Blues players are actually just wandering away with backs turned. Cotter should of read riot act at halftime. Roiard was on ground for about 8-9 seconds so not lying around pretending he injured as some making out.
I thought that was pretty disgusting and very unsportsmanlike from Roigard. I have no time for that soccer shit, it's a blight on that game and we don't need it in ours. Add to that, it's a contact sport and there are regularly bad injuries. You can't go down and pretend to get an advantage like that - next thing you know someone goes down with a serious neck injury and the opposition goes in to rip the ball off him cause he might be faking.
I think he should be sanctioned for it.
