Final: Canterbury vs Wellington
-
I’m fully confident based on recent form that our boys can go down there next weekend and get the job done. In saying that Canterbury know how to win finals so it’s going to be a pretty good watch I’d say.
Wellington have all the form but Canterbury have that structured game-plan that suits finals footy. I just hope Wellington don’t go into their shells and instead back themselves and the game-plan that has seen them win 9 games in a row.
Bring on next weekend.

I said earlier in the season that any team that can match, or hold their own, against the Canterbury forward pack will be in with a chance Canterbury are just not that good in the backs. Wellington have the forward pack to hold their own at the very least, and the backline to do some damage. It would not surprise me if Wellington get the win.

Yeah it’s hard to get excited with our history but hope the lads can get over the line.

Wellington’s game to lose. They have far too much firepower across the park. Plus they are full of confidence.

Canterbury have the 2023 eoyt ABs sitting right there on the bench.

Wellington had their best 15 starting in the semi except for PUJ. And his replacement (Higgins) had a great game so nothing was lost
We really need Cowan back and fit enough to last until half time. The Cowan starting with Sheck around HT coming on works very well. If not our scrum could struggle a bit especially if Sheck can't last the whole match. Likewise Numia. Unsure how Cowan looked when he left just before HT.
If both PUJ are both fit it will be a tough decision for the coaches. Both have been going well but I would like another look at Higgins in a finals match

At this point I would rather Higgins starts over PUJ. No point bringing someone in who’s not 100% just for the sake of it. Higgins looks like a big match player already aswell so would be good to see him get another crack.
Pek Cowan is massive for us, he needs to atleast be in that 23 because we know where Canterbury’s strength lies. Get parity in that part of the game and we are more than a good chance.

Hey hey hey, don’t try and take the underdog status here. Canterbury at home in a final is almost a shore thing. 😁

Man that was a fun team to watch. Umaga, Cullen and Lomu ripping it up, just awesome.
Great memories welcoming that team back in at Wellington airport the next day.
