What ? …anyway, until he can show some decent vision in his decision making on attack I’ll keep calling him a drongo.
Ok I won’t say anything about Toeava, oops too late… the bloke could be a brilliant runner, but tended to lose complete focus when it come to doing the real basic stuff, hence he had hands like feet.
At least Fekitoa doesn’t drop the pill as much Toeava did… fact is can’t see Fekito having the insight for playing at centre, reckon it’s vital to say have a thinking player at centre & more of a power player at 2nd-five.
Wgtn ‘ B ‘ were dreadful.
Yeah, with all the possession the ‘ horse scratchers ‘ had they should of won, think they had 65% of the pill, but wasted their opportunities… with rain throughout the whole match I suppose it was never going to be much of a spectacle.
Ref was a bit of a shocker, the dickhead thought he was more important than the players, he reminded me of that clown Steve Walsh.
SSMO – the drongo went well in defence, but so did most of the team, didn’t get himself involved enough though, him & Nonu are power players, Nonu took the ball up plenty of times, but Fekitoa went walkabout too much.
That’s a bit unfortunate, Would of being a good comp.
For me to change my mind about the drongo he needs to show a lot more thought to his game, lets see how he goes tonight ?
Fekitoa has come in as a late replacement for Conrad Smith… AB’s selectors have said they like Fekitoa because of his ability to learn ? I’ve seen stuff all of that in terms of his option taking, when in possession the bloke always tends to have his hands glued to the fuckin’ ball, yeah, smash the ball up when required, but if it’s on to free up the outside backs for try scoring opportunities the drongo needs to pass the pill !!!
Wgtn has a big injury count, there’s only about 4 players that I’ve heard of in their squad of 22.

Down to interpretation I suppose… the way I look at it there’s different levels, from what you’re saying I’d refer to them as a ‘ complete wanker ‘
but someone that’s a good coach & comes across as a bit of a dickhead would place in the wanker category.Disagree… anyway, the form team in the late stages of this comp would have to be Crusaders from what I can see they’ll be too good in the forwards & look to have a better kicking game as well & Waratahs have given away their normal home advantage to move to a bigger venue, obviously all about money.
Super Rugby form as said before doesn’t mean much at all when it comes to the Rugby Championship, it’s up another level, completely different teams, setup, atmosphere etc.
With the final only being over the ditch travel factor doesn’t come into it, Crusaders to beat Waratahs by 10 points… Crusaders look to be better in the set pieces, especially at scrum time & of course all the teams are allowed to stand offside by bloody miles so tactical kicking is going to be very important too, having Slade at 10 & Carter at 2nd-five is a big asset, executing well weighted little grubber & angled kicks behind their defence.
The crazy thing is these two teams haven’t played against each other this year, ludicrous !
