Auckland vs Canterbury
-
-
@kiwimurph Apart from having a new coach, who's already leaving after one season, Canterbury is missing a lot of players they had last year. Several left or are with the ABs. Even Canterbury will be affected by such changes.

Fucken hell Akira Ioane!!! Oh well go BOP!

@tim That was the best game he has played all year. Having a decent 10 didnt hurt.
Funny how it takes til the final 20 minutes of the season for Auckland to have a halfback- first five combo with some ability.
Sucks for Akira that last play - he had a good game - thought he outplayed Whitelock.
-
@kiwimurph Hahaha very true about our 9-10 combo. Hope to see these two get more gametime next season whatever division we're in.
-
I also thought Ben Nee-Nee improved as the season went on. One of our best against Ta$man. Not sure he's up to Super Rugby though.
With a solid tight five (Scrafton and Fatialofa will certainly help), a good nine-ten combo (Costa/Plummer looked pretty good), and good coaches and conditioning we should be vastly better next year.
-
Costa looked great in his cameo.. he knows how the clear the ball from the 22 and feisty at the breakdown..
Plummer sent a few hospitals tonight though.. especially with how "flat" the defensive line was
But he's definitely the best 10 we've had since Anscombe -
Didn't see the whole game and can't make time to follow much M10C. Only warch it when it's on and I'm otherwise idle and tele unoccupied but:
- Plummer. First I've seen him. How old? Looked like he had a little something for future reference.
- Nanai. Couple of questions re his form in the EOYT thread. Looked sharp to me. Surely he is the next cab off the rank for the outside backs.
- Good to see an Eden player there
