SF - Canterbury vs BOP

[KiwiMurph]

It's a shame Poihipi isn't a starting 12 in Super. Class player.

[ACT Crusader]

Hey we’ve remembered how to support. Lovely try.

[Mattasaurus]

@ACT-Crusader it really was good to watch

[Duluth]

That was on the body not the ball

[Yeetyaah]

Ahhhhh Hawera

He may well be next year. Poihipi/ALB combo

@number9 same way Foster picked his ABs before the super rugby final?

[Duluth]

Poor kick for touch

[Duluth]

BOP ran out of gas. Too much tackling in the first half

[Jailbreak7]

Gee how did Christie miss out on ABXV

[KiwiPie]

Canterbury too good. We weren't good enough. Plenty of players were good enough but we don't have the depth to lose first choice players

[Machpants]

Time to party like it's 2000!

Love that 70s throwback Carter on the wing and Ah Kuoi must have been close to ABXV selection

Yep, to win in Christchurch we needed almost an empty injury list... bugger.

I particularly liked him aggressively giving Poihipi a shove when Poihipi was on his knees and then once he stood up pretending like nothing happened and running away.

Not a fan of selecting older non-developmental players like Heem for ABs/AB XV honours but dang Willi Heinz is running around like a young pup, looks better than Christie or Fakatava.

Heinz is really slow at getting the ball to his backs and is capped for England

BOP played the breakdown well, but Heinz contributed to our problems in getting ball out. He was taking an eternity allowing the BOP defence time.

[Jailbreak7]

@Duluth I know he's capped for England and didn't rate him then
but sigh...back to AB XV qualifying standards....wouldn't look out of place in AB XV.Think he is playing better now than ever.

[Duluth]

@ACT-Crusader

Same all year too. Drummond would sub off and Heinz would be a step down

Is Drummond back for the final?
