I'd love to see a Canterbury team for this weekend's game against Ta$man
I’d love them to respect the fact the club final is on and not pick anyone from HSOB or Lincoln
Or that it's a national provincial play-off match and not pick the All Black loosehead, because you're a bit short in that department!

@Yeetyaah Yup, Smiley and Mrs Barrett have quite a production line: Kane, Beauden, Scott, Blake, Jordie + 3 younger daughters. I don't think Blake is as good as his brothers though; I think he's always been close, but just below Mitre 10 Cup level.

There's bugger all crossover between Canterbury and those two playing groups anyway. Lincoln have been decimated this season and HSOB have bugger all stars.
Talking to someone closely involved with one of the two sides today, and he seemed to think they'd both be pretty much at full strength.

POOOAAACH!

@mariner4life Blame his parents, as both sons went there.
Edit: I found this, Poihipi is a boarder from Te Puke. His father is a policeman and his mother a school teacher in the King Country. He was the 2016 1st XV captain.

@chchfanatic Poihipi is some player. Best non-super rugby player I've seen in the metro comp this year. Suprised his name hasn't popped up more for playing 12 for the Crusaders in the future.

Waikato Rugby Union continues to strengthen their forward pack with the signing of Fijian International, Apisai Naikatini, for the 2019 Mitre Cup.
Apisai Naikatini signs with Waikato

I'd rather they reward local players than sign a 34 yr old Fijian.
