Waikato vs Wellington

@Steven-Harris said in Waikato vs Wellington:

@Canes4life Jeff McTainsh is the main caller
Ant Strachan and i think its Ben Castle on the sideline ,really impressed with Strachan

I think it might be Isaac Boss on the sideline?

Strachan is good because he gives some details.. not just platitudes and cliches

[Stargazer]

I'm getting tired watching this game. And I mean that literally.

[Canes4life]

Jeez Numia has grown over the last year in his ball play and scrummaging. He’s in great nick.

[Steven Harris]

@Duluth i was’nt sure about the 3rd wheel was,but they all feed off each other well

[BerhamporeNinja]

@Canes4life seems to have beefed up alot and been playing awesome 👌🏽

[Canes4life]

@BerhamporeNinja hopefully he puts his hand up for AB selection next year. He’s apparently 118kg now which is big enough for that top level.

[BerhamporeNinja]

GG. Thought Poasa and Losi had blinders. And noticed I didn't yell too much about Morgan lol

[Canes4life]

@BerhamporeNinja yeah he was actually better tonight but his kicking from hand and goal definitely needs improvement.

[Stargazer]

According to the radio commentators, at least two Waikato players on crutches into the tunnel, so likely more injuries.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer that’s never nice to hear.

[BerhamporeNinja]

@Canes4life been told hes 123-125 kg apparently

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer we can all take a breath ,played at an outstanding pace
Some superb tries scored ,a couple of gimmies and some very good individual performances
Simon Parker very good in a losing team
Just signed another 3 year deal with the Chiefs
Well done Wellington ,they roll on

[Canes4life]

@BerhamporeNinja wow, must be mostly muscle. It’s definitely showing in his carry. Very hard player to put down that’s for sure.

Du Plessis Kirifi not happy with that win. Just shows you the standards Wellington have these days. Hopefully he’s the Canes captain, seems to be a pretty ruthless character.

[BerhamporeNinja]

@Canes4life still abit erratic in his decision making on attack, he tends to want to run as apposed to looking at opportunities prior. Definitely one of his better games

[Canes4life]

@Steven-Harris yeah he was outstanding. Definitely stopped a lot of Wellington’s momentum at the breakdown.

[BerhamporeNinja]

@Canes4life yup what we need. Demands and commands one hundy all day everyday I wonder if he will be captain 🤔

[Steven Harris]

@Canes4life hes quite a unit ,gotta say Wellington are playing the game at pace and with some power in the forwards.
They are a good watch

[Canes4life]

@BerhamporeNinja I can’t think of anyone else that would suit captain in that likely starting side. Maybe Flanders in the future but Du Plessis right now for me.

[Canes4life]

@Steven-Harris 100%, the good thing for the Lions before they play that next Shield game against Harbour is that it’s 8 days away so they can have a good rest after a pretty hectic schedule lately.

[Bovidae]

That was about as expected, but disappointing not to get that try in the end.

Criminal to throw 2 intercept passes to Filipo.

It looks like more injuries for Waikato.
