[QUOTE="ranger, post: 329303, member: 40555"] Was coarse language really necessary there.. You hurt my feelings a little bit. Back on the topic, this one game is not the only indicator i have used, Kaka has been consistently outstanding. Which is the best option for Hawkes Bay rugby: The 19 year old prodigy who has excelled at every opportunity [I]and has signed up with HB for the foreseen future[/I]. Or a 27 year old recent league convert who is only around for one season to "warm up" before the super 15. Think about it.. I don't really care if you knew Buckman in school, he was either marking Andre Taylor or David Smith and he managed to score some tries, he must have been doing something right. I doubt many people will, he played 2nd division NPC which isn't really publicized at all. The difference between the NPC and the NPC 2nd division is like the Premiership and the Cocacola championship in English football. The games he played weren't televised, nor were they reported on outside of Hawkes Bay so he was pretty anonymous. That being said he was a solid player and could have made the step up to first division in different circumstances [/QUOTE]
