Canterbury v Wellington
-
Some necessary changes from last week; I expect this Canterbury team to play better than last week, when Romano didn't play. Christie and Sanders starting with Harmon moved to the bench (he actually wasn't bad against Hawke's Bay) and Douglas dropped; also Burke starting instead of Cameron and McKay shifted to fullback (and Knewstubb dropped). No Lienert-Brown; IIRC he got injured, last week?
I find it hard to predict the result for this game.
-
@Stargazer I’d say it will be fairly close looking at both teams.
-
Very willing at breakdown especially Canterbury bringing the intensity up front so far.
Don't know why Wellington didn't go for 3 just before.
-
Fuck sake Hauiti Parpapara, get the pill out faster.
-
jeez, Cantabs lucky to get away with that, #6 touching the defender
-
Mataele should have been penalised for picking the ball up from the side.
-
Shocking miss from Garden Bachop there.
-
@African-Monkey Which ended up working out well for Wellington.
-
Garden Bachop is having a shocker tonight.
Kicking it far too much, doing predictable lobby passes and misses a penalty in front. Just keep it simple, seems to be trying too hard.
-
Jeez Prinsep is fired up tonight. Put on four big hits so far.
-
-
@Stargazer Yep, a try and a YC to Romano.
Big 2nd half coming up, Wellington will be happy to go into the half 6 down.
-
Wellington made hard work of that maul.
