That Cantab team looks very strong.
Not sure why they have Grace at 8, I'd switch them around and have Harmon at 8.
Bay at home. Hmmm.Does it look strong? That tight five looks fairly weak to me. Brewis (meh), McAlister (meh), Moody (out of posititon and passed it), Cahill (meh). Certainly not as strong without their ABs in the tight-five.
Loosies and backline solid though.
Canterbury by 10

Justin Sangster is a huge loss for BOP.

That BOP backline is certainly one of the strongest in the comp but that pack looks lightweight and average, can't see them winning this one.

I can't see it either but I'll go along as it is our first ever home semi-final. And stranger things have happened.

Just looking at each teams last game and then losing Sangster up front on top of that 1.97 for Canterbury seems very generous.

@Donsteppa Grace starting to justify being named in the AB XV squad post-match.

Razor conveniently said they’ll announce another loosie in 1-2 weeks so he’s definitely waiting to see how far the Cantabs go in the comp.

$25 for a ticket and put $25 on Canterbury to win - it's worth $50 to see us reach our first ever NPC final or it's a free ticket to a semi-final.

Bad luck Ah Kuoi - good counter ruck but picked it up.

Bit of luck for the homeside looked like Paul had knocked the ball into the Canterbury player on the left side and Ennor looked like he was played in the air but I guess you ride your luck
