2015 Bus? Hell yeah!!
2021 Bus? ............

[BerhamporeNinja]

@canefan yeah kinda downgraded to a 12 seater van, hes proven himself in the last couple of games he leads well. yeah dropped a ball but his presence on and off the field is uplifting for the team esp the younger lot

2021 the bus will put a turbo in his 12 seater van..

Why would you even want the 2015 Bus? He was good in one game against France. Pre 2015 Bus is the one you want.

To repeat my comment from the other thread - NZ rugby is odd sometimes.

I was only thinking about that QF, I agree the rest of his body of work was meh that year

[Yeetyaah]

@canefan refreshing to see a Canes fan talk about how average he is. People on Facebook are getting feral about how good he is. Rose tinted glasses really are on today.

[Higgins]

@Yeetyaah He barely held his position in the match day 23 for the Wellington Lions much less the Hurricanes the last season he was here before he departed. Someone with a major connection to a celestial power must have worked wonders if his form has got any better to warrant selection at Super Rugby level since those days.

[Bones]

His form this year is strikingly similar to how he was in his first year of super rugby. If he has the same level of improvement next year as he did then, all good!

I don't see him getting much time, at least I hope we don't have to depend on him if injuries strike!!

@Higgins Jason Holland and his Wellington Bias to the fore again.

[mikey07]

@BerhamporeNinja he was garbage against Harbour apart from that last try didn’t chase kicks his positional play was poor FYI I am a Savea fan

[Yeetyaah]

@mikey07 he's been garbage in all of his games tbh

[mikey07]

@Yeetyaah I really had high hopes with Holland but his signings are just beyond ridiculous signing a 30 year old Wing who’s form dropped off after 2015, extending a 5’4 locks contract who really is not up to standard, if us armchair selectors can see it why can’t he.

Not at all. He's had his good patches, some exceptional, but mostly nothing to pick him for super rugby. Mitre 10 looks his current level tops

[Dice]

@mikey07 If I were a Canes fan, I'd rather have Patafilo.

[mikey07]

@Dice Totally agree

Looks like Roe is off the market. Also i didn’t realise Lowe and Stones didn’t have contracts for next year.

[Yeetyaah]

Waikato's Xavier Roe is understood to have been nabbed by the Chiefs

Thanks christ the Chiefs have some common sense. Surprised the article hasn't mentioned Ratima, he's been pretty bloody good. Chances are the Canes will pick up Hauiti-Parapapara though.

[mikey07]

@Yeetyaah I used to rate him but it feels like Marshall has been tutoring him his pace and speed to the ruck is slow, I would rather they nab Collins.
