McCaw recently has become a penalty machine of note - on Saturday he gave away 4 penalties.    That was just not good enough.    Is it because he tries to hard to maintain high performance criteria or is it because he managed inthe past to get away with murder in not being penalized by referees?

Surely if a player gives away more than 3 penalties it should be a yellow card for 10 minutes in the bin

I know he had a very good tackle count - was just neeling.  
Look I must agree four penalties are two too many and he sh ould have been carded for the third one.   However, like everyone else Jpoubert lost count of the number of penalties he did give away - it is difficult to kep track of those.

 I thought he was a certainty to be carded after his warning when he was penalised again. But I wanted him to stay on the field so our win would not be tarnished by yellow cards and look how that turned out. Cloudy his speech to AAC was touching but I am not sure my knees buckled. If they did it was because I was so drunk from using my "I'm not an alcoholic, I only drink when Richie McCaw is off side" stubbie holder.

I think Hooper was the stand-in captain - Moore is the likely captain after return from injury.   Hooper needs some experience and grow up in the game a bit - could have captaincy potential in the long run though.

 Claydog two of mcaaws infringements were red zone. Now what would have happened if he hadnt infringed? wee m caaaw if penalised one tenth of the time he should have been would hold the record number of penalties conceded for all eternity!
There is no accounting for the tastes of some women!

 Beeno he is slipping. Usually his infringements are very sly and sneaky. Saturday he opened a new chapter by being rather up front about the whole deal.
