Canterbury v North Harbour

[Chris]

@Duluth said in Canterbury v North Harbour:

Very leaky. Some pathetic attempts there

Harbour has a competitive top XV but they don’t have the depth of the other contenders

Good to see Ngnai Punivai back from long covid

[Chris]

Good start by Gardiner strong around the field and 3 line out steals already.

[Grooter]

@Chris Dom 👏

[Duluth]

14 missed tackles by NH already

[Steven Harris]

@Duluth very tough for harbour to back up after what was a tough shield challenge on Saturday on saying that the off loading by Canterbury is sensational..could be long night for the harbour boys

[Steven Harris]

Good call from Kane Hames

[Duluth]

Terrible refereeing to miss that offside initially

[Steven Harris]

Get outta my way Christie ..Kalolo Tuiloma looking very fit

[Bovidae]

Penalties are a lottery with Bredin.

[Chris]

Some young players stepping up for Canterbury
Gardiner,Bell and Allen in the forwards

A couple of other players that have been around for a couple of years
Ishia Punivai and McLeod strong in the backs.

Will be interested if the 3 under 20 players get a run Brial,Lam and Rove.

And Murray another young FB/First five

[Steven Harris]

Like the physicality of Felix Kalapu

[Stargazer]

George Bell, what a classy player.

[Steven Harris]

Harbour B in with a shot .unbelieveable when you think how much defending they have been doing

Canterbury B still hanging in there.

[Steven Harris]

Yes Marshy ,Kalolo got rid of Christie as well

[Steven Harris]

@Chris its a good contest ..12 players with Super Rugby experience in the Canterbury starting line up ..4 in the starting Harbour team with super rugby experience ..i think your doing your boys a diservice calling them a B team

He may have scored a try, but man Heinz is a bit of a handbrake for our attack with his very laboured pass and some dithering at the back.

I had to laugh during that first half when Romano had just thrown a massive harbour bridge pass, and the next ruck he pushes Heinz out of the way to make the pass from the base.

George Bell building nicely.

[Steven Harris]

@ACT-Crusader George Bell is some player ,not case of if but when he wears a Black jersey

[Steven Harris]

Congrats Canterbury but that was some effort from a seriously depleted starting Harbour XV team .
Plenty of ticker from a lot of guys who running around for their Dev team a couple of weeks ago

[Duluth]

McGahan was one of the best for Harbour

Sititi struggled a bit in the first half but got better. Good for his development to be loaned out
