Grim

Lindsay sent me a link with news that Richard Kahui will be starting on Saturday. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I like Kahui and I was very impressed with his level of play at his debut (but not so much his second appearance). I think his inexperience makes me go erm... and I much rather have more experienced players start on Saturday. But, the newbies have to start somewhere. I'm disappointed that Leon MacDonald has been ruled out, especially after I got so excited at the idea he would be starting on Saturday.

The All Blacks are injury-riddled and they are bleeding players who have left for Europe. I feel grim.

PS. I started teaching yesterday and one of my students was spot-on in guessing that I back the Crusaders... funny!
