North Harbour vs. Canterbury

[Tim]

@stargazer Maybe slapping a guy hard in the face?

[taniwharugby]

was a bit of niggle as there always is around him, but dont recall anything banworthy?

[Chris B.]

Might have to watch this one - or perhaps a replay.

Quite interested to see Hall vs Drummond.

[KiwiMurph]

Nansen with a couple of huge early plays.

[Duluth]

It’ll be interesting to see how long Tamoaieta lasts in a game this fast

[KiwiMurph]

@duluth he can certainly scrum!

[SammyC]

Someone on this board was talking up Alex hodgeman as all black quality recently.

I hope they are watching this game, soft as shit in the scrum. That's why he never got game time for the crusaders

[KiwiMurph]

@sammyc thats a tad harsh - both teams look to be struggling on their own ball.

@number9

Fight! Fight! Fight!

[African Monkey]

@sammyc And he was only behind Joe Moody and Wyatt Crockett.

[Tim]

Any mentions of super rugby contracts so far? This pub doesn't have sound.

[KiwiMurph]

@tim just Goldie mentioning Taramai doesnt yet have a contract.

[KiwiMurph]

Tj is a woeful commentator.

[Tim]

Hodgman gets one back.

[Tim]

@kiwimurph Yeah Jones mentioned that on the Auckland game too.

[Tim]

Great try. Cantab Groundwater has been solid this season.

[KiwiMurph]

This is a great game. Open running rugby, two good teams, good crowd, good conditions.

[Tim]

Not a fan of Taramai, but he is playing well at 7 this year (not an 8). Toughest position in NZ though.

[Higgins]

That should have been a penalty to Canterbury. The guy was clearly standing in front of Hall and he passed the ball to him, definitely a deliberate forward pass.

Is that actually a rule in rugby?
