HIGHLIGHTS: 2018 Super Rugby Week 12: Hurricanes v Lions 

And then realizes it was #26... Rieko's got 11 covered thank you :)

#26? Rieko's got nothing covered. The biggest strength of the ABs is, that nobody's got their number guaranteed.

Seahawks2014 - SumoRugby He does indeed. Despite playing at 12 and 13 for the majority of the season he's got Lam beat in every offensive stats except tries.

Well, you've answered yourself. Different positions, ergo different stats. Hard to expect of a winger to have more carries or passes, than a centre. But here we're discussing wingers, and the two offensive stats, that matter for a winger are: nr of tries and metres carried. In the former it's not even a contest and in the latter Lam is not far behind Ioane. I've got a solution for you: Let Rieko have a centre spot in the ABs. Preferably 13. And Ben Lam should have the 11 jersey. His combination of size and speed is going to be hard to stop. It would be absolutely criminal not to give him a chance.

+Seahawks2014 - SumoRugby 1. "Different positions, ergo different stats. Hard to expect of a winger to have more carries or passes, than a centre. " I'm not talking about passes and carries. I'm talking about the stats outside backs are supposed to dominate in. Metres, breaks and defenders beaten. 2. "But here we're discussing wingers, and the two offensive stats, that matter for a winger are: nr of tries and metres carried. In the former it's not even a contest and in the latter Lam is not far behind Ioane." That's not all. Ioane has more clean breaks and defenders beaten all while playing at 12 and 13. Lam is doing what wingers are supposed to do when being compared to a centre, as in score more tries. That's it. Ioane has him beaten in every other categories. Remember Ioane last year? Topped TRC in tries, clean breaks, defenders beaten and metres. Imagine if Ioane was playing at wing, for a club as good as the Hurricanes. Metres gained wouldn't even be a contest and I certainly think he will get close to the number of tries Lam has while adding something other than finishing. 3. "I've got a solution for you: Let Rieko have a centre spot in the ABs. Preferably 13. And Ben Lam should have the 11 jersey." Rieko definitely isn't going to start at centre in a test game for a long while... We have SBW coming back from injury, Crotty being healthy, ALB improving vastly in offense while keeping his defensive solidity the same, Jack Goodhue going from strength to strength in a champion environment and Jordie Barrett(hopefully) fit for the start of June tour. We basically have our centres sorted out for 2019 and beyond, and that's not even mentioning Laumape and Thompson. 4. "It would be absolutely criminal not to give him a chance." He certainly should get a chance. He just isn't going to shove the world's best winger out of the way during that process. His opportunity may come at 14, or even 23 towards the end of the series.

Sweet Uce Dagg and the Bus French Club rugby is calling

What a lad, what’s it like being mates with all the boys?

couldnt understand what you meant by toilets bro but when i did i started pissing myself lmao

Ben smith is better than Jordie

No bitch

is ben from accounts going to be out injured? is that why he does not make the 23?

I'm a lions supporter but he's my dad aswell

Does your mom know?

He's everyone's daddy.

And last year the Bok fans were screaming for Combrinck to be brought into the team because Rhules defence was dodgy..... SMH.

Karma bro Combrink is way better than Rhule.

Not last year he wasn't, at least at the time the comparisons were being made. Careful now, this is a trick....

Dyanti is fucking awesome, but got the ball like twice the whole game, the wings barely saw the ball, the lions were playing shit crash balls and kicking possession away, i wonder if our former springbok coach maybe had a hand in the coaching and game plan for last week...

Good girl

Not a girl...
