Super 14 squads

Super 14 squads

Once again Crusaders and Canes put together pretty decent groups, think you will struggle to get past them. As a BOP fan i'm more than a bit gutted we only got 5 players in squads. Blues have a good 1st 15 though will struggle if they get injuries. Hawkes Bay (Highlanders) might be ok if they can develop a good bond. But how not one team picked up that kid Robinson out of Southland is beyond me, he is absolute quality

Why am I not f*cking surprised...

you only got 5? thats not a bad effort from last season!

Well last season we had 3 after finishing second to last, this year we have 5 and finished fourth.

why did the hurricanes pick bradnock.. now i'm a turbos supporter but to pick him above lilo and fugistaller is surprising.

Solomon King, granted we are chocked full of loosies in the Chiefs region but someone should have picked him up. We picked a guy who hasn't started for Waikato as a lock when we could have got Callum Retalick or John Moore who were standouts in NPC. Zar Lawrence and Nigel Hunt would both be unlucky as well. So while i didn't think we would get 15 King and Retalick are both hard done buy and Luke Braid, Zar Lawrence and Nigel Hunt are all a bit unlucky

I really enjoyed watching Solomon King strange no one wants him. Zar lawrence had a good year probably would have looked good at the Blues instead of that Jamie Helleur guy who was an embarassment to fullbacks in the ANZC.

Was quite a surprise that Serge Lilo wasn't protected by the Hurricanes as he was one of the form flankers of the ANZC when he wasn't injured.

Robbie Robinson should be there in the highlanders ahead of Ben Smith surely!!

Where is Hamish Gard, George Pisi and James Paterson?

gutted to see Elliot go to the Chiefs after they had been talking him up at the highlanders.

If anyone thought the Crusaders are so good think how great they will be in a few years.
Correct me if im wrong.
But here are some ages

Colin Slade - 21
Kade Poki - 20
Sean Maitland - 20
Nasi Manu - 20
Ryan Crotty - 20
George Whitelock - 22
Tim Bateman - 22

Michael Paterson, Keiran read, Owen Franks and Stephen Brett would all be 23 or younger.

Yeah, same could be said about the Canes though in terms of age.

no.

The Bay always gets shafted when it comes to Super 14. It's just Waikato-centric thinking (Bastards). The fact that 2002 was the last time Waikato beat BOP is lost on those w**kers from Hamilton (of which I used to be one).

all blacks 19-14 aus

Dane Coles
Jacob Ellison
Daniel Kirkpatrick
Zac Guilford
David Smith
Willie Ripia
Alby Mathewson

I'll go ya age for age, incidentally average age of the Lions this year was 23. Thats scary

Rugby sucks
