            Try Cooper Flanders! Great pass from Godfrey to Higgins, who ran a beautiful line and offloaded to Flanders who ran at full speed to dot down!

              The biased commentators are annoying.

                Awesome try to the Blues U20s right winger. Sorry, I haven't seen a line-up.

                    Class try that first one, lovely touches from the big three for the Canes.

                        Blues have a massive wind advantage in this first half.

                            @Steven-Harris Is he a radio commentator? His voice sounds familiar.

                              @Canes4life by the look of it , i think it will come down to whomever holds the ball

                                    @Steven-Harris I tried finding it. I don't think they posted one.

                                        Some of these players are clearly still in the stage in-between schoolboy rugby and senior rugby. Great skills but too greedy. and not passing when they should.

                                            5.Allan Craig

                                            good to see, I thought he musta been injured as he hasnt played any club footy.

                                              Can see why NZ forwards struggle at the World Under 20 tournaments , the attention to detail in an around lineout,scrum and breakdown is crap

                                                What’s up with Godfrey’s passing game? He’s had a couple shockers this half.

                                                          It's a pity there's so much wind. It affects the throwing, passing, kicking.

                                                              Hopefully the Canes will be a lot more effective with the wind.

                                                                      They look poorly coached , and defensively through the inside channels they are woeful ..if i were the Canes i would use the winger thats built like a prop around the first channel even as a decoy

                                                                            The reason they named the team so late , they were still looking at some kids running around in premier rugby at the start of the season ..
                                                                            The also had 2 games cancelled because of covid against Harbour Dev & Northland Dev

                                                                                Saumaki was big when he played for STAC but looks huge now.

                                                                                Lauaki (Canes) was the starting NZ schools prop though so that helps our cause.
