Ex-All Black Roger Tuivasa-Sheck makes another dramatic defection

1. Unable to score in 4th quarter

2. Give away silly penalties

3. Problems against rush defense

4. Having leads overturned

5. Highest number of Yellow (& Red) cards

6. Inaccuracy - passing, catching

7. Poor tactical kicking

Razor has not changed or altered any of these bad habits from the past

The play off concept isn't anything new and looks pretty much like... the goal line drop out, 50-22 and TMO/Bunker that rugby union decided to copy from rugby league.

With that said, I'm looking forward to seeing the day when Rugby Union copies another Rugby League concept with a World Club Challenge Cup.

The winner of the Super Rugby Pacific plays the United Rugby Championship winner...

Alliance Stadium would be a good venue for starters.

Did he get Donaldson this year? Lets hope he gets on when Aussie put Big Ben on!!

I believed we could have gone through the season unbeaten, and I think I was proved right after these results. Easily could have been undefeated at this point (if theyed met expectations re Argentina) and could have used that to continue on through to EOYT. Now they won't quite have there head in the game and could easily drop one (well they could easily drop three but I'm talking odds).

They were in SA, hopefully will get a run against Australia. Have SA used all the squad already so far or are we in line to see something different against Argentina?

There were certainly a couple of unexplained fumbles where things could have turned out a lot differently. Certainly live I felt the same, that they were so close to punishing SA and English defences. The Argentina game they just got beat by a better side. Sure the ABs didn't turn up, and that is a huge X against Razor to go along with his other XXXX's.

That would actually be something interesting for you to dive into MO. Can you show us that the last 20 was a problem throughout the Foster era too? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was and just no one picked up on it.

He got a lot of steals the other day, hasn't been as devastating in the loose as normal though, no. Dmac has been trying a lot of smarter kicks than I can recall him in the Super Rugby season, certainly not for everyone's playbook that sort of stuff.

Hasn't it been agreed that Leon loved Beauden, and Scott loved Jordan? Didn't it just come down to one believing in the second playmaker book, and one wanting to throw the book out?

Yeah International Rugby Union is so serious these days. I would love for teams just to be the best form selections of each country, rather than operating like clubs where people are either hired from outside to come in (Ireland) or you have to specifically target all your money into just a few specific players (New Zealand).

The World just couldn't handle a tiny country being the best when doing that (well maybe NZ cheated a little bit and acted professional back in the amateur days) so it had to turn into a dog fight. You gotta have some sympathy when it comes who you do or don't back your All Black brand on though, Anendra?

In fairness our midfields got no threat on the carry and they do a lot of clearing out already, I'd actually like to see some really varied attack patterns through the season. I enjoyed last years start with a flat running Dmac and then a deep playing Mo'unga, then a contestable kicking Mo'unga were we nearly retrieved every ball again South Africa. That team put 100 on Italy like crazy d!ck. Such a shame WR had to stuff up what could have been a great final. Imagine if SA actually had to chase the game by a couple of tries again, that France game was wild!

Say Moana P has a winning season with Ardie at the helm and one or two of their players choose to play for Samoa instead of the ABs. What happens then?
