      Smith must be unavailable after his head collision. A big opportunity for Reihana, I assume against Burke. I like this midfield combo.

        @Bovidae Weird that Sullivan and Tupaea aren't switched around. I've never seen Sullivan play at 12 before.

          @Dice I agree. Quinn is a better 12 too.

            No first five cover? Coombes-Fabling might count I suppose. Can Rogers also play 10?

              @Yeetyaah Coombes-Fabling was a 1st 5 at school and for the Waikato U19s. Rogers is only a 12/13.

                Rather worried not having Fletcher Smith playing. Think he might have made canterbury work extra hard with his kicking and bursts.

                  No knock on from Waikato there.

                    Fair yellow card.

                      Great period of play from Waikato during the yellow.

                        Strange knock on calls from the ref so far

                          Ref is very inconsistent for both sides.

                            Cam Stone was quite good last week but he's missing a bunch of knock ons.

                              @Yeetyaah I generally find Cam Stone a very average ref.

                                Jesus he's bad. He's calling balls backwards when they're clearly forward.

                                  @Yeetyaah At least he's consistent: he's making bad calls both ways.

                                    The ref seems to basically hate attacking teams.

                                          Correct decision IMO.

                                                  I’m sorry but that is a shocker , a real hometown decision from the TMO ..unfortunately this is becoming familiar theme with not just the man sitting the stand but also the AR’s ..

                                                      Should be fine as ref then.

                                                          Was the ball not out of the scrum there?

Must have played it several times slo mo before the kick despite no hesitation from Stone. Replay looked like left hand stayed on the ball even if right possibly did not. Bizarre.

                                                                                The scrum has been a real positive in recent weeks, despite having a lightweight locking pair.

                                                                                Thomson had a great game and is showing his experience but Osborne has been a waste of money. Show some urgency.

                                                                                I did find the backline substitutions puzzling as I have no idea why Sullivan was subbed with Tupaea already off the field. The forwards did the business in the end while the backs become a little disjointed. Still, I'll take the 4 pts.
