Counties v Wellington

[Canes4life]

Superb performance from the Lions. I hope we smack Hawkes Bay next week.

Aumua scoring four tries was very impressive, that O’Reilly injury is a blight though and will rule him out for the rest of the year. Hopefully we get Dane Coles as a super sub for the quarter final.

Lol get Aumua in the All Blacks. On form he's easily the second best hooker in the country.

Did he hit one ruck in attack? I swear he was out wide for 50 minutes 😉

Aumua was great. Game suited him. But a win and a big game at home against HB next week. Wellington don't need any more injuries

I love how we trounced them yet this thread is pretty quiet are we getting like Canterbury now and expecting to smash everyone by heaps 😂

Don’t judge too much from this game. In fact if I was a Wellington supporter I’d be worried about how many points CM scored.
The wheels came of CMs season weeks back. We were taking the approach of not worrying too much about defence but scoring freely but then injuries derailed that and left us with the shite. The coach went into plan for next year mode a while back handing out experiences.

I wonder who will come in as backup hooker if Coles doesn’t… any other good hookers in club rugby atm?

I wouldn’t take too much from that defensive performance. Wellington will know what their standards are and they’ve shown plenty of steal this year when it has mattered most. I hope as a supporter they can keep up this form as I feel we definitely have the team to go all the way this year.

Very much enjoy the win I think if you a Wellington supporter. I know things might have fallen off CM etc, but you play who turns up, and they did alright I thought.

@Canes4life I can’t think of any that set Club rugby alright, this is where Fidow would have come in handy to play back up Hooker.
