We're going to get reamed.
We are not playing well, unless there's a step change, it could get ugly out there. Frustrating year to watch these guys, there's talent, but not pointed in the right direction.
Fergus Burke out with an Ankle sprain.
But Jager,Bell,Brewis,Gallagher and bridge all back. -
@nzzp Yeah we've looked good in patches but that's about it. Even having a 5-3 record is very flattering tbh.
As you said, I think a 20 point loss or more is on the cards here.

Excitement brewing ahead of Auckland clash — Canterbury Rugby
There’s a sense of occasion brewing amongst the Canterbury NPC side ahead of Friday night’s clash against old rivals Auckland.

Most games it's only been about 30-40mins of decent rugby. The pack has been misfiring despite some good individual performances
The backs have been better but the balance has been off since Sullivan and Trainor got injured

Other way round mate. The Auckland pack has been great at set piece, the backs have bombed quality ball. Multiple knock ons, stupid kicking decisions, ball travelling east west and midfield not straightening up the atack.
Most frustrating is our defense outwide has been extremely poor. We have had a lot of tries scored out there because our defense does not slide and teams are getting the overlap on us. -

Yeah the scrum has been strong.
The clean out work vs Waikato in particular was terrible. Lane, Vest & Pugh have been disappointing
Agree with the clean out in that game and Pugh off the back of a scrum is no Zinny. But shit the backs have pissed.me off.

he was awful against Northland, sure the ref gave us the rub on a few scrums, but he blew chance after chance.

Another Pugh fuck up at the back of a scrum.
Do your eyes work Ieremia?

@Bovidae An absolute clown.
Tom Christie deserves an Oscar.

Both should have got a yellow card

Shut up Hames ..!, to me the referee did nothing about the holding and should have penalised Christie but chose to do SFA …could have cut it off at the pass
