I being trying to post but couldn't. But a poor game. And thankfully canes have Ardie. Delany played well. I was wrong about him. Love has a long way to go still
To be fair Love set up two tries. Let’s hope he gets better service from his halfback next game because Judd was garbage.

Neutral's perspective. It was entertaining but more frustrating. Skillset across teams decidedly lower than expected and decision making even lower.

Is Aumua out because of Covid? Or did I misunderstand Ardie?
Yep seems a few out with it.

@dan54 starting hooker hasn’t played NPC yet either has he? Pretty gutsy in that case, especially considering the changes were made today.

He's played for Manawatu

@canes4life Maile is the roofer who got called up to play for Tonga at the RWC.

@mikey07 What do you mean? Years of history indicates there is more chance of the wingers at Scots College or SPC Kilbirnie 2022 1st XV getting called up to play first five or halfback before any consideration is given to anyone based north of Dannevirke.

@mikey07 That Manawatu Under 20 side have had some decent results these last couple of years s they must be doing something right. Was surprised they did not dredge someone out of your neck of the woods as there are a couple of promising backs over that way aside from Reuben Love. I mean there has been inordinate sums of money invested into T Va'a for starters! Where was Marvin Kawawana when he was needed!!!!!!

I’m waiting for a couple of our outside backs to fall over due to Covid not a lot out there I’d imagine Is there any outside backs at the Magpies that aren’t in the Hawkes Bay Pasifika squad? Or even Manuwatu Wild maybe?
Very young (19), but an awesome prospect: Harry Godfrey (10/15). Only 1 NPC cap though, so too soon IMO.
Apart from Connor McLeod (halfback) and Kienan Higgins (midfielder), all other Magpies backs are either signed by a Super Rugby squad, or playing MLR or Top League.

Of the midfield out Lowe is with the Chiefs, Ili is with the Rebels, and Sapsford is with the Brumbies, the rest are with Pasifika. Makene is pretty useful but he's with Utah in MLR.
