Super Rugby teams that should start 2013 planning now

22 May 2012

In what truly has been one of the more even Super Rugby competitions in recent memory, the time has finally come to rule the line through some teams for 2012.

White welcomes Reds’ rugby battle tactics

Jez, I reckon it might be a case of Andy Bichel Syndrome for Vaea. He's done quite well with his limited opportunities, indeed, he's done everything asked of him. But at the same time, others around him have always managed to do things just a little bit better. So while Vaea was doing well off the bench, Auelua was killing it in club rugby (nearly literally, from some reports!) and leapfrogged Vaea to a spot at no.8. And when Hooper was looking like he might be suspended, suddenly Colby Fainga'a was the best option to replace him at openside. There could also be a bit of Mat Rogers or even Adam Ashley-Cooper about it too: Vaea on the bench covers all three backrow spots really well, and so to promote him is almost like weakening a strength. He could be a victim of his own versatility. For what it's worth, I've got some concerns about Kimlin at 6, particularly if the Reds play two fetchers like you mention. I wonder if the Brumbies might've been better served there by moving Fardy back to 6, where he was so effective at the start of the season, which would've left Kimlin to play no.4 Lock, where he's probably better suited. I hope this is a feeling proved wrong, but I can't shake it..

I thought there were some words missing, J2. I think "by the author of Elsom's biography" was chopped.. Elsom in time will be well-regarded, but I don't think it will be that well-regarded..
