Geez if ever we needed a reminder that tight 5 is important, that was proof. Manawatu seemed to forget how to win any ball.

@Dan54 that was probably the worst performance by any hooker I’ve seen in a long time. He had a shocker.

Has anyone else noticed Brayden Iose's twitch? He jerks his head to his left shoulder every few seconds. Never noticed it before.

Probably developed it playing under Holland.

It was a good change Canterbury not always winning. But this team must be close to favourites this year

Still not convinced by the Canterbury backs. Strangely, despite the scoreline and the long-range tries, I didn't think the backs were all that impressive. Not terrible, but good enough I suppose. They will be tested when Canterbury come up against a pack that can hold their own.
