Which part of Crotty will he injure this weekend?

Can we start a poll ?

He will be sweet as Southland can't tackle

He can still trip himself up

African Monkey

So what are Canterbury fans thoughts on Osbourne returning? Obviously he's a proven performer at this level but would you rather have him out there or invest in some of the younger guys in the squad despite the slow start to the season?

Don’t mind it. He’s been a good servant for us and now that he didn’t make the RWC squad cut, he’s an addition we could do with.

I think we have a few young players coming through but they are better off in the u/19s for another year.
Osbourne fills a space we have with Gilbert and Ratuva both injured for this season.

@CO is Sam Gilbert out for the season. I’m in Aussie on holiday so haven’t heard that news. He told me last Saturday he’s only pulled his hamstring and out for 2 weeks. Same as Cullen grace

Chris

@chchfanatic no just Ratuva.I would like to see Grace get some more game time when he’s fit .

Here we go, it's nearly game time

We really need alternate jerseys in Mitre 10 Cup....

Great try Canterbury. Am LOVING having Osborne back. Good that he's not at home crying over his spilt milk like some others.

Yes. And dare I say it but it's worse during the day when it's 'glarey'! Canterbury used to have an alternative jersey and I actually have one from possibly three season or so ago which is black with a red collar. Spot the Bedean.

Shitty tackling but that was a nice touch from Crotty

DrivingMaul

OK it's a question of how many from here

@DrivingMaul 80 nil's enough I think.

Great day in the sun, lots of kids enjoying themselves.

I love afternoon rugby

The 23 kids wearing blue didn't seem to be!

African Monkey

@SammyC Yes it was despite the one-sided scoreline. Southland's defence close to the ruck was laughable tbh. Drummond was walking through gaps.

Stag

Can someone explain how Counties has 11 points on the table? It’s got me flummoxed

Daffy Jaffy

4 for one win, 4 for 4 tries every game and 3 for close losses.

African Monkey

@Stag They've lost 3 games with 2 losing bonus points in each of them, and won against North Harbour with a bonus point.
