<p>Nepia, you and I, for our own self interest of course, would certainly accept it with open arms should Israel Dagg not be included in the All Black sides this season. Assuming that he is already signed up for the Mitre10 Cup.</p>

<p>nah I'm stoked Izzy is looking the goods again....   but Benny boy is still the man! </p>

[mariner4life]

Haha the sunwolves

[antipodean]

<p>That's a scoreline we were all worried would happen.</p>

[pukunui]

Yikes, that is minnow in a world cup type stuff. Do any NZ teams play them this year?

[No Quarter]

I hope not...

[booboo]

1. Devlin. On the wind up I reckon.<br><br>
2. Sunwolves. Happened to a semifinalist the week before the semi finals a few years back ...

[booboo]

And didn't the Reds ship 90 a few years back?

92-3. 2007.<br><br>
So the Sunwolves miss the record for most points conceded AND biggest losing margin.

[No Quarter]

Shipping 90 points to the Crusaderblacks is one thing, shipping 90 points to the Cheetahs is quite another. Very ominous signs.

[Dice]

<p>Picking up Sergeal Petersen for my fantasy team this week went better than expected.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unfortunately, I think the Sunwolves go without a win this season. I think their best chances to get a win have all passed.</p>

[SouthernMan]

<p>Rumor I'm hearing is John Plumtree set to get Highlanders gig. </p>

<p>No, they don't. The Sunwolves only play the Aussi teams of the Australasian Group this season. Next year, they play all the NZ teams. Unless someone is wise enough to pull the plug after this season ...</p>

Really? The Cheetahs have always been brilliant at scoring points in previous years. Heck it seemed they often score 40 odd and lose, against good teams.

<p>Bad news: Rene Ranger out for the rest of the season! Ruptured knee ligaments.</p>

[Dice]

<p>That's rough, he just went through a long term injury.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>while he is struggling to get back to this level of footy, you dont want to see anyone with a season ending injury, and as Dice says, after having months off after his neck injury too! </p>

<p>Just read on the Chiefs instagram account that their flanker Sam Henwood is out for the rest of 2016 with a ruptured ACL! He'll have surgery in 2 weeks.</p>

<p>Thought that may have been the case when he went off. Gutted for the guy and for CM.</p>
