MP needs to sort lineout out. Costing them dear
They're up against Darry, who's the best emerging lineout talent in the country imho.

I’ve caught up with a bit of a highlights package. That try of Ardie’s… well taken and just sheer strength, but why was he so late getting to the breakdown that led to the penalty? He was right there at the start of the play and nowhere at the end of it.Gumboot wrote: Sun Apr 03, 2022 5:09 am Ardie scores a brilliant try.
Chiefs ahead 30-29 with 5 to play.

I look at the log and see the Aussies at the top. Obviously haven't played NZ teams?

Here’s a replay. Ardie is just to the right of the halfback when he box kicks. Watch for when he shows up at the next breakdown…Gumboot wrote: Mon Apr 04, 2022 6:12 amNot sure what you mean, Guy...Guy Smiley wrote: Mon Apr 04, 2022 5:51 amI’ve caught up with a bit of a highlights package.

Truth is I gave him a pass mark, which is all I would of expected in first game there for a long time. He looked ok defensively, carrued only a couple of times and generally crossed advantage line.
Player who continues to impress me is Sam Cane, shit he was good. was everywhere and doing good stuff. I personally think there daylight between him and other 7s in NZ at moment.
Is Ardie asthmatic? I noticed a number of times he was struggling for breath after seemingly having done nothing just before. He has these bursts of energy though like for that try.. but he is the opposite of Cane who is a human dynamo.. never stops...Guy Smiley wrote: Mon Apr 04, 2022 6:55 amHere’s a replay.

What am I missing?
He's been critisised numerous times for setting a bad example by not wearing a mouth guard (interferes with his breathing apparently). And he had to start wearing a mask to protect his eyesight prior to RWC 2019, but soon ditched it for...reasons.

Cheers. I never wore a mouthguard either due to vomit reflex if I did!Gumboot wrote: Mon Apr 04, 2022 9:25 amHe's been critisised numerous times for setting a bad example by not wearing a mouth guard (interferes with his breathing apparently).
