Hall and Drummond showing why they're not All Blacks.

I thought Drummond was causing havoc for Taranaki with his lateral movement.

Bok and especially his AR saved a blush or two for ignoring the shoulder charge.

[Stargazer]

I wouldn't mind at all if Canterbury rest a few players next week, after this massive effort.

[Rembrandt]

What a game!
You know 2020 isn't really that bad a year after all.

[ARHS]

Sorry for Drummond. He created so many opportunities for a creaky backline. Masterclass from boshier though. And vaai looked useful too.

Congratulations to Taranki. Commiserations to Canterbury. Fantastic to see such passion around the Old Log O'Wood still.

I'm still stoked for Taranaki. Provincial rugby passion is alive and well. Great result.

Awesome win!

Canterbury backs were pretty average today.

Green midfielders and an uninspiring fullback. Meh.

[KiwiMurph]

@shark All Black wing did nothing.

Awesome game. How good is the NPC with ABs playing.

Surely Boshier has to be included in the extended ABs squad. The ABs haven’t really had a turnover specialist like that since early Richie Mccaw.

Was impressed by vai’i and Grace. Man Grace hits hard. Both seem to run it hard too.

My comments before reading the thread.

1. Boshier is quite good at the turnover
2. Yay
3. Vaa'i started off good, faded though
4. If you were Canterbury why would you drag all your best forward
5. Not sure I like Dunshea. Bit of a thug.
6. Good game

Walden was class. Wonder if Mauger was watching.

Especially the post game speech.

Our midfield stifled a lot of good ball I thought. Wasn’t good.

They didn't show it here, what did he say/do?

Clever.

This is what a mitre 10 looks like with All Blacks. Very entertaining

If that was an audition to be in the extra 11 players added to the AB squad he passed his test, and then some.

I didn't think any of the AB backs on display were that great.

Totally agree. I'm gutted to lose them from the comp.

On another note, presumably the collared Ranfurly Shield edition jersey now gets mothballed until perhaps we get a challenge. Helluva shame as it's the best jersey since around 1993.
