Canterbury v Northland

[taniwharugby]

This is the side I have heard, injury enforced changes.

Front Row: Jared Adams, Bruce Kauika-Peterson, Corey Te Whata-Colley
Locks: Liam Hallam-Eames, Alan Craig
Loosies: Rob Rush, Matt Matich, Jonah Mau'u
Halves: Lisati Milo-Harris, Rivez Reihana
Midfield: Blake Hohaia, Tamati Tua
Outside Backs: Heremaia Murray, Pisi Leilua, Jone Macilai

Bench: Ross Wright, Esile Fono, Conan O'Donnell, Josh Goodhue, Jaycob Matiu, Sam Nock, Kalani Going, Tama Anderson (debut)

No idea who captain is, maybe Matich? Is also his 50th.

I'd have thrown Tama in the deep end and started him, kid looks the business.

Not an ideal game to have so many injuries for, but guess it is a game we were always slated to lose anyway, so yeah.

@taniwharugby wait so Robinson came off of the bench and then injured himself?

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph think he may have taken a knock at training early this week.

But yeah, not great for his aspirations of higher honours how he keeps getting injured.

Graphic of side and confirms Matich will captain.

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby hearing that the Crusaders have asked for the stats on Heremaia Murray apparently Robertson is very keen

[fidz71]

@Steven-Harris
Do you think Northland have a good chance of signing him up with this in mind Steve?

[Grooter]

no Josh Moorby so I had to pick another 1st try scorer, don't let me down Bridgey 🙂

[Steven Harris]

@fidz71 i think Heremaia is a good chance of being picked if not by the saders but any of the other franchises ..

[taniwharugby]

@FakatavaAllBlack def let him down George!!

Northland leaving a lot of points on the table.
