Tasman vs Canterbury - semifinal

[ShadowTrooper]

Nice try from Havili - surely one of either Strange or Parkinson should have been included at lock for ABs wider training squad? Don't get me wrong I like that Romano has been included, but hell we are leaving the burden yet again of a heavy workload to be shouldered by a few

[Stargazer]

@shadowtrooper Way too many inexperienced players in that ABs extended squad. Romano brings some much needed experience. Don't think his workload has been much heavier than that of Strange or Parkinson.

[akan004]

@shadowtrooper Parkinson for sure. Has been outstanding this half.

[ShadowTrooper]

Ha one of the Hansen pet projects slots the penalty on half time

[nakosi]

canterbury quite lucky Ta$man aren't ahead by few tries, hope the pressures goes off a little bit in the 2nd and the players start to play good rugby

For Aussie viewers it looks like this game is now live on Fox tonight. My emails paid off.

An Aucklander living in Australia, you sound like a real piston wristed gibbon

[ShadowTrooper]

Wow I would have gone for the LO

[Stargazer]

I don't know whether it's finals' nerves, but Jordan hasn't been good thus far.

[nakosi]

kickers are in sniper mode

[nakosi]

canterbury close to the line again and not able to score, pretty poor displays

[Stargazer]

Yellow for rookie Curry.

[nakosi]

canterbury again inches from scoring but poor passes , what a shame

[nakosi]

why are they going outwide instead of pick and goes? clueless plays

[Stargazer]

It's all Canterbury at the moment. Ta$man hanging on by their finger nails.

[nakosi]

dangerous times for Ta$man, they're getting manhandled at the scrum , could be the turnaround

[Stargazer]

15 minutes to go and it's 16 all.

[Stargazer]

Jordan should get yellow. Stupid.

[Wally]

I’ve not been Drummond’s biggest fan but he’s leading well and playing well this season.

[Stargazer]

Try Drummond. He's had a really good game. Less than four minutes to go and it's 21 - 16 to Canterbury. Cameron misses the conversion.

Enari comes on for Drummond.

[Stargazer]

Canterbury through to the final. FT: 16 - 21

Ta$man lost it because of two unnecessary yellow cards.
