Canterbury v Tasman

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer no...was just a nice angled run at pace.

Gotta say Aumua has been average this year, his trick hasnt really been upto much.

[taniwharugby]

Awful end to the half culminating by Canterbury conceding a pen right in front of the posts

[frugby]

George Bell been very good for Canterbury. Good to see him back to his best.

[Chris B.]

Totally dysfunctional lineout. One mistake Eddie didn't make is picking Kaitu'u - but, his coaches and callers haven't helped him.

What a fucking shambles.

Last five minutes have us closer than we deserve to be.

[frugby]

@Chris-B Reckon that is kind to Kaitu'u. Throws were just straight awful most of the time.

[Chris B.]

@frugby Don't know why they were doing all the dancing about. Just throw the ball to PPP at 2.

[taniwharugby]

nice break by Hotham there

[Chris B.]

Back in it!

[Stargazer]

Great comeback from Ta$man.

[taniwharugby]

27-25 59th min

[Canes4life]

Stupid option by Hotham.

[Stargazer]

Geez, this is close.

[Steven Harris]

Shut the hell up Hames,the kick from Robinson was an awful option

[Stargazer]

FT: Canterbury 30 - 28 Ta$man

[Chris B.]

Didn't really deserve that after the shitshow in the first half. Probably missed Nankivell quite a lot in the 10 minutes - and we'll miss him more if he's done.

Burke was really good for the Cantabs.

F*** what a bloody good game. I have said it before and will say it again after that game , bloody Anton Segner is one of best loosies in this country. I love watching him he just never stops!

[Chris B.]

@Dan54 Anton's gone up a gear this year, I think.

Looks bigger and having more impact.

[Machpants]

Better than any game in Pool D! Great watch for a neutral

Yep I been on his wagon since seeing him for NZ schoolboys in Brisbane, and like you, definitely think he's put on some muscle and making him even better. I a real fan of him at 7.

I will add that young Noah Hotham with another season or two at super level has got AB written all over him, and can see him and Roigard being maybe the 9s for ABs, and Fakatava, Christie and Ratime may find it hard to get a lot of tests.
