          Will be really interesting to see of Canterbury can bounce back from their historic, record thrashing by Wellington. I suspect they will be much better this week. And they'll need to be, against a high quality North Harbour team. I think that last weekend's result was the worst possible outcome for Harbour, as Canterbury will be switched on and focused for this fixture. Canterbury by 20.

                @tim Do you remember what Hoeata did to deserve that suspension? I remember him full of blood and he's always been a thug on the field, but don't quite remember what it was this time.

                      Might have to watch this one - or perhaps a replay.

                      Quite interested to see Hall vs Drummond.

                              Someone on this board was talking up Alex hodgeman as all black quality recently.

                              I hope they are watching this game, soft as shit in the scrum. That's why he never got game time for the crusaders

                                @sammyc thats a tad harsh - both teams look to be struggling on their own ball.

                                      Any mentions of super rugby contracts so far? This pub doesn't have sound.

                                                Great try. Cantab Groundwater has been solid this season.

                                                  This is a great game. Open running rugby, two good teams, good crowd, good conditions.

                                                    Not a fan of Taramai, but he is playing well at 7 this year (not an 8). Toughest position in NZ though.

                                                      That should have been a penalty to Canterbury. The guy was clearly standing in front of Hall and he passed the ball to him, definitely a deliberate forward pass.

                                                          Yes, Law 12 (e)

                                                          LAW 12, DEFINITION
                                                          A knock-on occurs when a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it.
                                                          ‘Forward’ means towards the opposing team’s dead-ball line.
                                                          EXCEPTION CHARGE DOWN.
                                                          If a player charges down the ball as an opponent kicks it, or immediately after the kick, it is not a knock-on even though the ball may travel forward.
                                                          DEFINITION OF THROW FORWARD.
                                                          A throw forward occurs when a player throws or passes the ball forward. ‘Forward’ means towards the opposing team’s dead ball line.
                                                          OUTCOME OF A THROW FORWARD
                                                          (a) Unintentional knock-on or throw forward. A scrum is awarded at the place of infringement.
                                                          (b) Unintentional knock-on or throw forward at a lineout. A scrum is awarded 15 metres from the touchline.
                                                          (c) Knock-on or throw forward into the in-goal. If an attacking player knocks-on or throws-forward in the field of play and the ball goes into the opponents’ in-goal and it is made dead there, a scrum is awarded where the knock-on or throw forward happened.
                                                          (d) Knock-on or throw forward inside the in-goal. If a player of either team knocks-on or throws-forward inside the in-goal, a 5-metre scrum is awarded in line with the place of infringement not closer than five metres from the touchline.
                                                          (e) Intentional knock or throw forward. A player must not intentionally knock the ball forward with hand or arm, nor throw forward. Sanction: Penalty kick. A penalty try must be awarded if the offence prevents a try that would probably otherwise have been scored.

                                                            Canterbury looking a bit stunned against some decent opposition. Scrum under pressure, lineout misfiring, getting beaten to the loose ball and burned down the left flank, especially.

                                                            Missing Luke Whitelock's leadership and some of the cleaning up work he does. Sanders and Princep looking a bit ineffectual.

That female reporter was interviewing someone and right at that moment Harbour scores. Let them do those damn interviews during the break or after the game! Glad the camera was still following the game, or we'd have missed it.
