@Chris-B Chris Eaton?
Chris Eaton never played for Ta$man!
The Mighty Kahn!
He was our best poach from you guys ever! After you poached him from Wellington. Should have been an AB!

George Naopu was fairly decent as well. On the other hand there was Mike Coman...........................................

@Nepia We repatriated him from New Haven Rugby in the US. Who poached him from Auckland.
Like most right-thinking people, he had nothing to do with Wellington.
Auckland? Wellington? At any rate the North Island!

Brilliant hi-jack. Isn't there a Hawkes Bay vs Mako thread you lot can go and make woopee on?
every thread is a Mako v Hawkes thread. They're like Agent Smith in the 3rd Matrix movie

Exactly - and if you want to challenge for the Unfairly Shield, you've got to expect some discussion of the injustices that are being perpetrated.
Edit: And for completeness - this is Canterbury's third challenge since the Mako last had one.
But, there's actually three Heartland unions that have waited longer than Ta$man. West Coast hasn't had a challenge since 2000. Buller - hey another Top of the South team; and South Canterbury.

Best locking combo, best loose trio available (Sanders would be ahead of Prinsep) plus Douglas on the bench, great group of props and I like the look of the backline with Punivai at centre given the continued absence of Ennor. Centre is Punivai's position and 12 is Batemans' best. Still have a 12 on one wing and a 10/15 on the other but that's ok at this level and both have had their moments.
Looking forward to this.

good to have a few Highlanders in amongst that lot

-
Good guys score a try. McKay in for another try.
10-0.
-
-
@Stargazer distinct lack of speed from McLeod though. Every inch a 12 on the wing.
-
Otago needed that ,only a 2 score game,despite Canterbury having their noses ahead
