D Flanders yellow carded in the first 6 mins.
Cynically killing the ball from a line break. He was also replaced by Iose so it was always 15 v 15.
Kirifi is continuing on his NPC form at the breakdown.
-
Canes back in it with two quick tries after the half. One to Banks and one to Flanders. Apparently Higgins set up Banks for his try beautifully with a cut out pass.
17-12 to the Chiefs.

Harry Godfrey goes in to even things up. 17-17

Looks like Godfrey at 10, hes looking great out there, pretty clear why the momentum has shifted.
That’s what I like to hear. With Love out though he’ll likely start at 15 unfortunately.

Yeah, although there's some other options at fullback, Banks, Sinkinson, so perhaps not, his form is undeniable.

TJay Clarke also plays fullback so there are options
-
Proctor making a big impact for the Canes apparently. Shock.
-
Hohepa is still out there so Godfrey is still at 15.
-
@Canes4life Forget the numbers. Godfrey is playing 1st 5.

Haven't seen him, quiet thirty if so.

Xavier Numia re-commits.

Cashmore out for 6-10 weeks -
Assistant coach Jamie Mackintosh confirmed Cashmore had torn the medial collateral ligament in his knee and would miss between six to 10 weeks of action. “Lucas came in and was really impressive, great with the group, but unfortunately he picked up a non-contact MCL injury.

Jesus. At least from the article they have Hohepa running in the bench team, with Harkin and Godfrey getting reps in. Are there any WTG 10s or 15s around the country we can pick up

I hope we don’t stick with Hohepa just because he has experience. Godfrey was the better 10 against the Chiefs in pre season so stick with him IMO. I never wish injury on anyone but not having Hohepa available would be a great opportunity for Harkin who’s a better 10 and deserves his opportunity anyway after claiming the NPC crown with Welly.
Ruben out until round 5, good prognosis considering he was meant to be out for most of the campaign.

@Canes4life Yep this could be a break out moment for our boy Harkin. Love cant get back quick enough, a Roigard, Godfrey Love spine will be spectacular

It might take a year or so to gel with Godfrey new to the role but heck they’ll score some spectacular tries. You add a midfield of Higgins and Proctor and then Naholo, Banks on the wings and it’s looking like an exciting backline.
Just need to build depth as we know that’s key.
