Waikato v Canterbury (Premiership SF)
-
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.

No Thorne is shit.
As soon as Razor went to the Crusaders the coaching selection has been poor,From Maddocks forward.The CRFU have lost the plot over the last 3 years.
