so why do I feel nervous about this Canterbury team? Is it the ghosts of Canterbury past, here to haunt us?

Because Auckland have been rather unimpressive this year?

Yeah, but so have Canterbury. I guess it's going to be who de-cripples themselves first

Edit: GO THE AUKS

@nzzp Probably haha I go into games against Canterbury just expecting to lose. We've been poor so far this year, hopefully we click on Sunday.

Pleased, very pleased, to see that midfield together and it should be the combination to carry us through the rest of the comp. Still a couple of selections short of our top line up though. I'd have Osborne on one wing, probably for McLeod who'd be on the bench for Finau, Will Tucker on the bench and of course Franks starting.

Don't forget that this is a double header with Auckland v Canterbury Farah Palmer Cup before hand. I'll be at both the games

Going at a point a minute here

Auckland continuing to look pedestrian this year.

[KiwiMurph]

Harmon loves a card.

[KiwiMurph]

Ruru is seriously rubbish. Like proper garbage.

[KiwiMurph]

Awful decision to go for the lineout. What the heck.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph Now now no dissing the king of New Brighton haha.

Finally! Sort your shit out Auckland!

Our half-sucked blackball wingers aren't having a good day.

Pedestrian passing there off the turnover, and a hospital pass.
