Canterbury vs Wellington

A gentle reminder that this game has a 2:05pm kick off -

@sammyc ray nu’u is still young and raw. Coming back from a serious broken leg too. Burleigh is there for a year to fill a gap. Rameka Poihipi would’ve been the 12 but obviously injury curtailed that. Next year guys like nu’u , Dallas McLeod , punivai etc will have developed more. Sam beard is the plodder. Burleigh is class , just on ageing legs. Name a better 10 in Canterbury at the moment. I like Fergus Burke but he’s only 18/19. There’s some great kids coming through at the moment.

@winger the good thing about Hintz is he is a champion power lifter so can probably hold his own at scrum time even though he is pint size. I would rather that than have a big lump that gets blown off the ball.
I like our chances today, especially with Matt Proctor back in the side. We have the luxury of rotating backs all the way through the comp with the depth we have developed over the last couple of seasons. Our problem will be if we start getting injuries in our tight five, there aren't too many good props / locks running around club rugby atm, most of our depth in that area have gone to other provinces.

Ive changed my mind in Bridge ever being an AB. At least until he loses the fucking alice band

I don't get to watch much of it, but i do enjoy the loose fluid nature of NPC rugby
-
@mariner4life me too, just great exciting stuff. Rush defence not done that well by both teams, but fun to watch

Although that was just awful by Wellington
Wellington look second best in nearly every facet so far
-
that was a nice try.
Scoreline definitely reflects the output of the two side in that half
-
Just another year of having shit forwards!! Aumua should be starting this game.
I'm very suprised how poor we've been on defence with Proctor and Goosen out there.
There are a few players that aren't upto this level that are really costing us. James O'Reilly with his botched throwing, Rungihuna at halfback has been piss poor and our two props are useless - how is Toomaga Allen an All Black, a complete joke to be fair.

The headband is still shit

@kiwimurph Can't believe the Canes still have him for another year on their roster. They really stuffed up by not signing Falcon.

This game is heating up nicely.
A change of halfback has changed Wellington

Do Wellington know the meaning of patience?

Coach must be pulling his hair out.
