@Donsteppa I hope not and the likes of Darry, PT, Barnes step up and look good for the ABs

Barnes is one of the players I am hoping the ABs have the balls to pick.

Currently looking at flights from Aus to Wellington for the granny hmmmmm

@Crazy-Horse hasn’t been flash today but definitely has potential

If Canes can't sell out the final.....

Carlos's son is a chip off the old block. Silky

Jordie with a Beaudy chip

Cam has been rocks and diamonds tonight

Are you allowed to tackle with no arms now Tuipotu

Tim

@Crazy-Horse He's raw, but there's definitely some power in his game. Maybe a year too soon.

I haven't been watching him tonight, but I have seen him do a couple of things that have impressed me, and I haven't noticed any bad things. Has he made some errors?

Edit: I'd expect an AB 6 to make a better effort than that on Aumua.

You should have plenty of options for seating haha

You don't give Aumua his All Black jersey, he'll take it!

Nah, hen's teeth springs to mind. Get him in and take him to another level.

Slater still out there for what reason?

Just had a txt that Love was more touch and go to play they were letting on. Was always going to be on limited minutes and played heavily strapped on that calf. I’m sure Canes fans are glad they are taking the cautious approach after getting comfortably ahead

Blues put up a brave performance, but couldn't keep it up. The Canes will have lots of fodder for next week's video session and hopefully be better for the final

Makes it easier to give him a pass for tonight

One thing that has been bothering me the last few years, and I have seen it from both sides tonight, and it just happened now, I reckon our wingers stand too shallow.

Definitely isn’t 100%

Barring a massive comeback, Canes cant afford to take an entire half to settle next week

Mr Fish

What happened to Cody Vai this year? He looked excellent (at least on attack) mid-season and hasn't been sighted since? Would have certainly added some incision to this Blues backline (if he's not injured).

Knew the Blues would be up for a fight and we definitely needed it rather then a blow out

Massive wake up call. They will hopefully be better for it next week

Bench hookers really are an achilles heel across NZ rugby. Cannot for the life of me understand how we have so many hookers that can't feed a lineout.

He had some bad games midseason. Underpowered in attack and exposed in defence

Got injured playing club rugby too

canefan

Lots of uncalled forward passes tonight

Landers92

Proctor or Jordie off soon you’d think. Surprised Roigard is still on too

canefan

All of Tuputupu's throws should be short to the front of the line out
