The games i have watched they looked very average.... even the games that they won you got the feeling that once they played a decent team (ie not an Australian one) they would get a touch up. But i suppose all losing teams blame injuries Blues,Reds. Teams that have backbone suck it up and move on Crusaders (McCaw, Carter) Chiefs (tighthead prop #5) Highlanders (playing loose forwards at lock, 1st five #4)
To be fair they are in strife through mainly injury.I would suspect they will be back to top form when the injured people start coming back into the side.
Being a bit harsh there. They have had a huge amount of injuries this season that would have had a bad affect on any team evan having to play Samo in the backline. Losing Ioane for 4 weeks on suspension was poor, the offense didn't warrant that long a spell.
