Champs are lookin like chumps, that pass from 9 to 10 - who was chatting away and paying no attention to the game...
That was funny - usually it is the kids who you have to remind to watch the ball

Are provincial budgets that bad there are no alternate jerseys?
Excellent play by the Mako$. Starving us of ball and getting plenty of go forward.

Pink and Blue vs Red and Black? But yeah it's hard to differentiate.

Our basics are poor so far. Blew that last build up badly.

Dunshea put a good hit on Makalio

Mako haven't been clinical enough. Should be ahead by more. Problems will come when the bench forwards have to come on - we need to be further ahead than this.
Strange having a big game - shutting down the Cantab lineout - their first one was miles from straight as well!
Need the outside backs more involved - especially Jordan and Alaimalo.
And Aumua - he's a big munter - 118kg according to some sources!

Good game to watch thus far; a real arm wrestle, although with the typical first round errors. Ta$man frontrow working well, esp Makalio. Despite giving away some penalties, I like what I see from young Blackadder. David Havili having a good shift as well with plenty of aggression. Alaimalo looking good, too.
Ta$man had a lot of possession and territory, but Canterbury's defence is solid, although they're clearly missing Luke Whitelock and Dominic Bird. On attack, it's not working well without Mo'unga steering the game. Braydon Ennor playing well, though. I expect Canterbury to get into their game in the 2nd half and wouldn't be surprised if Ennor or McKay would score the first Cantab try.
