Canterbury vs Tasman
-
Ta$man looking very very good. How have they not got the shield?
-
On the other side of the ledger, I do wonder if Canterbury’s incredible run is starting to come to an end...
They don’t appear to have the same sort of quality they have had in the past..eg many players that have super rugby experience -
@Steven-Harris It's for a great part the result of their own success. They have lost a lot of players to the ABs, the most important and recent examples being Mo'unga and Bridge.
-
@Steven-Harris One thing you never ever ever ever ever ever do is write Canterbury off haha.
In saying that though, I was a bit disappointed in the standard of their club comp this year. I feel that it was certainly down in quality from previous years from what I saw.
-
@Crazy-Horse You'll keep!
Ryan Coxon ho0bbles off and we're down to our sixth choice loosehead prop. Sam "The Rock" Prattley!
Hansen better give us Atu Moli for a couple of weeks.
-
@African-Monkey definitely not writing them off, just saying they don’t appear to be as scary as they have in the past ..still a good team ,but they don’t appear to be a team that looks good enough to go all the way.

@KiwiMurph They were very reliant on Romano getting them on the front foot last year but he's obviously a marked man this year and he's being forced into playing a lot tighter so far. They need to get him some good ball.
-
Hahaha and now it's game on again from absolutely nowhere.
-
@African-Monkey and the other factor is Romano doesn't look the same player in 2019.
-
-
That’s not bad when you can pull on Squire, and you still have Parkinson on the bench..so much depth..can only look on with envy
-
@Steven-Harris Yeah if they don't win it this year they never will.
-
@Stargazer Him and Danny Tusitala look like they're having a competition for silliest haircut.

I must admit I find it weird when your scrum has just got owned..but the dominant scrum gets penalised on a technicality..and the rest of players from the scrum that just got owned rush in congratulate the props..go figure
