      1. Isi Tu'ungafasi, 2. Andrew Makalio (VC), 3. Isaac Salmon, 4. Alex Ainley (100 Games), 5. Quinten Strange, 6. Hugh Renton, 7. Sione Havili, 8. Taina Fox-Matamua, 9. Finlay Christie (50 Games), 10. Mitchell Hunt (VC), 11. Leicester Fainga'anuku, 12. Alex Nankivell, 13. Fetuli Paea, 14. Mark Telea, 15. David Havili (C). 16. Quentin MacDonald, 17. Ryan Coxon, 18. Sam Matenga, 19. Issac Ross, 20. Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta, 21. Dwayne Polataivao, 22. Tim O'Malley, 23. Keiron Fonotia

      Alex Ainley brings up 100 games.

      Team as expected, except Renton is back as blindside flanker. Maybe looking for a bit more mobility against what is likely to be a small Canterbury loose trio.

      Very pleased to see Sam Matenga back on the bench. Despite that Salmon went well vs Wellington, I think Matenga is our best scrummaging tighthead.

        CANTERBURY RELEASE

        Influential loosie Tom Sanders returns to our bench for tomorrow's Mitre 10 Cup crunch match against our neighbours Tasman, in Blenheim.

        "Having Tom will be a big boost for us, he was in great form before his injury and we’re looking forward to that sort of contribution again on Saturday." Said co-coach Reuben Thorne.

        The team will be skippered by Reed Prinsep, who partners Billy Harmon and Tom Christie to form the loose forward trio. Liam Allen, who’s renowned for his physical no nonsense style of play, gets another opportunity in the 20 jersey. Daniel Lienert-Brown, Brodie McAlister, and Oli Jager once again pack down in the front row, with youngsters Shilo Klein, Finlay Brewis and Tamaiti Williams set to add impact from the pine.

        Brett Cameron will start at first five eight this week with Fergus Burke unavailable. Rameka Poihipi will slot in one spot if required, a position he excelled at during his time at Hamilton Boys High School. Isaiah Punivai comes onto the bench this week along with half back Ereatara Enari.

        "We’re looking for a quality performance," said Thorne.

        "Like every week, we’ve done our homework on the opposition. Tasman are a well-drilled, quality side. But this has to be about us and getting the type of performance we can be proud of will take us a long way to getting the result we’re after."

            @Chris-B You might have to keep talking to yourself throughout this thread. Nearly all of the Canterbury fans have disappeared for the meantime but will be back once they start winning again.

              I’m still here. Looking forward to the game. A decent lineup for the Cantabs.

              Whether I’ll be back tomorrow after 80 minutes is another thing šŸ˜Ž

                @African-Monkey I was about to say - @ACT-Crusader is still here! Kudos!!!

                I'd actually rather Canterbury didn't get relegated as they are my second team - but, if they can save themselves by beating Auckland, that will do nicely! šŸ™‚

                    Still around as well sucker for punishment from this lot relegation what fucking disgrace if that happens.
                    Every year we have been sliding back recently a lot is sacrificed for the Crusaders at the moment.

                      On a more serious note, that Canterbury side should not be where they are. They're light in a couple of areas but their forward pack on paper is still one of the stronger ones in the comp. It's still a good enough side to challenge for the title imo.

                        I agree

                        Depth is the main issue. Still, anything outside a top 3 finish should be considered a failure for that squad

                          Thorne was hardly a success at Christs so must have got the job because of who he is, not what he had accomplished as a coach.

                            Don't even know who to cheer for tbh. Probably Tasman so Canterbury stay bottom. Maybe a draw.

                              Sione Havili down early. Knee was already heavily strapped.

                                Surprised Punivai scored that, because for a big guy, he barely ever beats defenders.

                                    Be interesting to see if Sanders makes a difference. A harder, more physical loose forward to most of Canterbury's.

                                        Nankivell out with a broken hand.

                                          Looks like Nankivell is done for the season. Broke his hand.

                                              Tasman's attack is pretty shite so far. No penetration.

                                                Drummond’s play is all over the show. High passing, poor kicks.

                                                Forward pack going very well.

                                                      Tasman are going to have to do better if Canterbury are permitted to do anything at the ruck.

                                                        That was a great chase and take by Fihaki, but Drummond’s wayward pass stifles attacking momentum.

                                                        Nice penalty kick from Cameron.

                                                                              Canterbury definitely up for this ..halftime score actually flatters Tasman..

                                                                              We let ourselves down with a couple of silly penalties that allowed Tasman to get out of trouble.

                                                                              But given how we’ve played the last 5 games and points be a little hard to come by, I’m pretty pleased with 17 right now!
