@bayimports ,I know , how crazy , to be honest I have enjoyed watching the Mitre 10 cup more than following the All Blacks ..I think of all those Fringe players Foster pulled out of the comp ..for What..?.somebody to hold a hit shield , like that’s worked out really well ..🤦♂️
Have to disagree mate. With Covid and the travel restrictions etc, a big squad was needed. Look at Australia and Argentina, they have similar size squads and SA were going to do something similar before they pulled out.

@akan004 I am at the stage , where everything thing is so geared and molly coddled around the ABs , and every other level is compromised I really don’t give a damn, I am far more engaged with Mitre 10 and Super Rugby ..still have not seen the Puma test ..

I can understand the NPC, but being engaged with franchise teams over the ABs just seems weird to me.
Slight diversion, couldn't you find two more bloody points Auckland? The rest of us would have thrown you a parade!

You are possibly the luckiest man in NZ. Don't watch it.

From a SR contract perspective. Fihayki looks like he could become something really decent with an added kicking ability.
Prinseep was Hugh for Canterbury along with Lienert-Brown and Romano.
Was very impressed with Sullivan he looks like he could go along way.Presley Tufunga and Terell Peita look promising too.
Rayasi is an AB in the waiting big X factor player.

Yeah, he looks very promising. Is he NZ eligible?
Think he was in the u20s last year.

@Chris Well done to your mob for staying up.
It was funny because a lot of Canterbury fans left at halftime but they really did pull finger in the 2nd half and Auckland couldn't keep up. We scored some good tries but couldn't get any ball for the first 25 mins of the 2nd half.
I didn't think Canterbury would win after the shocking 1st half they produced but showed a lot of guts to stay in the division and was a great kick from Fihaki at the end. Well done to them.

It was a gutsy effort I thought we were stuffed at HT, Great game I think you boys will take out the title.
