Round 1 side set for clash with Northland — Canterbury Rugby

Promising young lock Tahlor Cahill is set to earn his first Canterbury NPC cap against Northland in Saturday’s Bunnings Warehouse NPC clash in Whangārei.

@taniwharugby that’s always been my issue, the pathway for development seems uncertain. I know we don’t have the success at age group rugby of other provinces (some being away for school/university) but it certainly needs a look such that guys being selected for the squad are ready to play and are being given game time. Not just carrying the tackle bags all season.

Some of these team naming graphics are awful. Apparently the most important thing on that image is the words 'Squad Naming'

Then they go through the effort of writing an brief summary on their website (good, many sides don't), but they don't bother adding the text of the team

[Duluth]

1 Daniel Lienert-Brown, 2 George Bell, 3 Seb Calder, 4 Luke Romano, 5 Tahlor Cahill, 6 Dominic Gardiner, 7 Corey Kellow, 8 Billy Harmon, 9 Willi Heinz, 10 Fergus Burke, 11 Manasa Mataele, 12 Rameka Poihipi, 13 Ryan Crotty, 14 Ngantungane Punavai, 15 Chay Fihaki

Reserves: 16 Ben Funnell, 17 Tom Henwood, 18 Carisbrook Toomalatai, 19 Mitch Dunshea, 20 Joe Brial, 21 Mitch Drummond, 22 Alex Harford, 23 Blair Murray

@Duluth I only posted that picture because they hadn't posted it on Twitter, yet. I've now replaced it with the Twitter graphic, which is better.

@Stargazer It was a general comment. Look at how shitty the northland one is too. That text is tough to read

[Stargazer]

@Duluth Yes, not enough contrast. And it's very easy to fix without changing the colours. Just give the letters an outline or (non-faded) shawow in black and chose a better font.

Looks like the Cantabs have sprinkled their jerseys with glitter

[Bovidae]

That is one ugly Canterbury jersey.

Who are the commentators?

[Steven Harris]

Superb turnover from Ma’u undone by a nothing Heremaia Murray kick

[Tim]

Great tackle from Cahill.

[Steven Harris]

Nice start from the Tani

[Duluth]

Good to see them have a crack in forwards first

[Duluth]

Solid maul defence

[Steven Harris]

Like the sting in the Taniwha defence
Ranger on for Leilua

[taniwharugby]

@Steven-Harris tbf Leilua had made a good start.
