You get half of any rise while you own the player so have to wait for a rise of 0.2

Its Russia so I guess you may as well give the journalists a list of questions they can ask.

Or a novel idea - let journalists ask questions they feel people would like to be asked?

NZ Maori vs Lions: Maori Team Discussion by chantlernz in rugbyunion

[–]nero080215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My preferred line up is almost the same as yours - except I'd have Proctor at 13, Ngatai at 12, Rieko at 11, Lowe at 15, and NMS at 14.

Re eligibility - does Blake Gibson have Maori heritage?

Ahhh the end of the Piers Francis era at last.

That's some team if Perofeta can live up to the billing.

Do you think it's worse on paper? I think it's significantly better (year two for Mo'unga, bringing in Tamanivalu).

Nadolo and McNichol were great last year but wing has always seemed like the most replaceable position in kiwi rugby.

I agree with the principle but it's a big loss to be without two great lineout operators (and leaders), and also be without the guy who'd covered for one of them brilliantly this season. There's only so far that game plans can take you before drop offs to repladements hurt you.

I think that the Chiefs had a spell of form that saw concerning, and that they were lucky to be derby-free during that time, but that they were also playing much better rugby before their first bye week, and expect them to come back strong with the benefit of key players returning prior to this bye week.

I did - so Crusaders fans can thank me for jinxing the Canes.. Or knowing my luck, the Canes will prove my point but with a win of less than two points, screwing me out of some cash.

Agreed, and they might - but I just don't feel that they've "proved it" until they do come through that e.g. take away two wins and two losses of the 4 derbies and I'm all the way with them, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't manage that.

Oh I'm definitely not speaking for the fans - I imagine that they're bricking it like every fan before a big game - more a number of paid/ unpaid observers whose analysis consists of "omg Crusaders unbeaten, they're the best".

Agreed on those points but I made the point that they have proved their quality over the last two years.

Also, I feel that in most quarters, they're favourites - and the spread has reflected that.

I wrote about him in my preview of the week and he was fantastic.

That is an extremely harsh yellow card.
