Waikato v Canterbury (Premiership SF)

Giddy up. Hawkes Bay suck the kumara and we got the win and get a home final.
Brilliant.
Fucking ugly game to watch at the end. Some of the fancy shit Waikato was doing was fucking horrid to watch.
Super forward effort.
-
showed how far Canterbury have fallen - the separation of Super and NPC has stopped the constant stream of Super players into the provincial team.
Good for the comp, but tough for Canty. Well done Waikato, dominant forward pack and only sloppy play kept Canterbury in it

I know a few cantab fans that think R Thorne is a hopeless coach

They aren't shit they've just dipped back into the middle of the first division pack.
As for blaming Thorne? Plenty of Cantab ferners have been doing that too. The problem is the season before he took over wasn't great either (6 wins 5 losses)
Since Canterbury lost to Auckland in the 2018 final they've gone 15 wins and 16 losses
The rise of Ta$man, they are now the premiere team in the Crusaders region, is the main reason IMO. Although I'm happy to throw shit at Rueben Thorne too

Question is if Roe and Dickinson are now both injured, who's Waikato's 4th choice halfback?
It depends on who is in camp. Ben Strang might be, as he played for Waikato in the pre-season but was injured in the Chiefs U20 game. Tell Ta$man to fly Noah Hotham up.
And @Hooroo and any other Waikato fans outside of L3 should get along next Sat night.
