Canterbury v Auckland

[Donsteppa]

Fair play to Canterbury, safety looked a long way away three weeks ago.

[Duluth]

Oh well. Better than I was expecting with the pack we were forced to play

In a season with 3 one point losses, a one point win is fitting.

Canterbury escape relegation. Good comeback from them. Auckland shit the bed pretty bad in the second half. Probably good that Auckland lose a game and their spirits are slightly broken going into the semi.

good end to the season for the cantabs, beating 2nd and 1st on consecutive weeks to fend off relegation (which may not happen anyway)

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah We will beat Waikato by at minimum 20 points. Very lucky to qualify.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim you and me both brother..I would imagine the 2 players that have beaten more defenders in the Mitre 10 cup would be ENS from CM and Rayasi , Rayasi in my opinion is the player of the Mitre 10 Cup ..daylight 2nd

Whilst it’s been hard to watch as a Canterbury fan, overall it’s been a fantastic NPC season with a far more even spread of results particularly in the top half.

Famous last words @Tim 😉

@ACT-Crusader it’s crazy to think , just one win has been the difference between making a semi final and being relegated ..feel a bit for Harbour , but this is exactly what you want from a comp as well as some upsets along the way ..

TJ loves this team of HEROES and greats who are in last place.

Who was he calling a great? Who was he calling a hero?

Did you hear TJ fawning over Rayesi?

[Steven Harris]

@Yeetyaah your a hard case..on the basis of what I saw yesterday up In Kaikohe , It would be one hell of an upset ..

[Tim]

@Crazy-Horse He was losing it over Harmon and Romano.

weird that arguably the best pack in the comp on their day gets relegated

And one of the better 9-10 combos in the comp too.

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader No depth in the backs.

[Crazy Horse]

@Tim Romano probably is a great for Canterbury. Didn't notice the Harmon stuff.

[taniwharugby]

@Crazy-Horse Harmon was excellent today though, whatever fawning TJ does over his red'n'black jersies.

@taniwharugby The Mitre 10 website has Wellington in 4th and Waikato in 6th behind Canterbury.

@Daffy-Jaffy but Waikato beat both of them, which is the 1st decider on tie breaks
