<p>I would like to think Gibbins would of got a bench spot too  :yes:</p>

<p>Melani Nanai was impressive against the Tahs. Jerome Kaino as well.</p>

To be fair most of those are hard to argue with. I'd have Kaino ahead of Shields and probably Bird instead of one of the Canes locks. Halaholo had a good game and his competition was pretty poor. <br>
Nanai was pretty good again for the Blues so may sneak in instead of Ben Smith but not too sure there.

<p>piers francis was good at 12.</p>
<p>best game i've seen big bird play, id have him in there.</p>
<p>perenara was far better than usual, but he still didn't play as well as aaron smith.</p>
<p>franks was good until inexplicably subbed.</p>

<p>Cane was outstanding and deserves his selection in the team of the week. As far as the under bubbler is concerned, I would go for Kara Pryor.</p>
<p>Noticeable underperformers of the week end : Ofa T, Romano, Todd, Messam, J. Savea. Much more is expected from them !</p>
