Yes Marshy ,Kalolo got rid of Christie as well

@Chris its a good contest ..12 players with Super Rugby experience in the Canterbury starting line up ..4 in the starting Harbour team with super rugby experience ..i think your doing your boys a diservice calling them a B team

He may have scored a try, but man Heinz is a bit of a handbrake for our attack with his very laboured pass and some dithering at the back.
I had to laugh during that first half when Romano had just thrown a massive harbour bridge pass, and the next ruck he pushes Heinz out of the way to make the pass from the base.
George Bell building nicely.

@ACT-Crusader George Bell is some player ,not case of if but when he wears a Black jersey

Congrats Canterbury but that was some effort from a seriously depleted starting Harbour XV team .
Plenty of ticker from a lot of guys who running around for their Dev team a couple of weeks ago -

I was trying to think of who he reminded me of and the Nth Auckland / Auckland hooker that played for the ABs against the B&IL came to mind - Derren Whitcombe. A no nonsense sort of a player that did the basics really well and could run in traffic. Unfortunate his career got cut short.

Canterbury will be happy with a bounus point win.
And able to bring 8 starting players back on Saturday.I'd be more than happy if they're back on Saturday ... and stay away on Sunday.
Opps

I would be interested to hear from some Cantabs in the know about Harford. Having only watched the highlights of this match and about 10 minutes of him on the field a couple of week ago when Burke was getting an HIA I have not seen much of him, but I like what I have seen so far.
Is he in danger of getting a Sader's spot? They are going to need some fresh blood at 10.

@Crazy-Horse Not a Cantab, but since none of the Cantabs here has replied and I watch almost all NPC games, I think I can answer. I don't think Harford is SR material; not yet anyway. By the way, I think the same about Ta$man's Campbell Parata. Adequate at NPC level (although Parata's goal kicking as been really off at times), but I can't see them in a NZ SR team. (Parata was in the Force's academy, last year, so may return there in 2023.)
