Canterbury vs Wellington

[frugby]

What a game this has been. Best of the season in terms of the whole entertainment package.

[KiwiMurph]

Higgins again - kid is a star

[frugby]

Shit read from Alaimalo, no idea why they took Murray off.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph if I were the Blues ,that’s where I would be looking

[Canes4life]

@Steven-Harris no chance. He’s signed up.

[frugby]

Can't afford to sit behind J Barrett... I'd have him in Dunners!

[Stargazer]

Oh no, Mataele injured again. He has no luck.

[Stargazer]

@frugby I'm sure the reply you'll get is that Higgins can play centre.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer 100% he can play both adequately.

[frugby]

Wellington deservedly will get home here. Fitting that Bredin missed a clear forward pass before the knock on.

[Canes4life]

Wellington extend their winning run. Awesome performance from a young team.

[frugby]

Great game of rugby. Think these two and Auckland look to be quite comfortably the best three sides in the competition.

As for Jono Bredin, I'd give him a big fat D. Let the game flow, but missed plenty, and had some of the bizarrest interpretations I've seen in a long time.

[KiwiMurph]

Huge opportunity missed by Canterbury.

Wellington the only undefeated team left- the team to beat.

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph still got Perenara, Savea and Aumua to come back aswell. In a great position, but I’m sure they won’t get ahead of themselves.

[KiwiMurph]

@Canes4life not sure J Savea is much use these days

[foobaNZ]

Well, I'm surprised we got up, but maybe I shouldn't. Not the top team but we seem to have a lot of quality in our squad again this year.

Lakai and Higgins stand outs.

Preston with some dodgy kicks but his service is night and day above Paraparas.

[Canes4life]

@foobaNZ Lakai, Numia, Plummer, Higgins and the Clarke brothers were awesome today. Shields and Bird influential in the first half.

[frugby]

@Canes4life And Southall. He was very impressive.

[Canes4life]

@frugby certainly pushing for a Canes spot. Not bad for a player that’s only recently reverted to hooker. Just needs to keep improving on that lineout throwing.

[frugby]

Going back to Higgins, thought PUJ was also outstanding today, and in theory that is the Canes backup midfield. Add to that Sullivan, and realistically one of them if not two will have to be out the door by 2025. Supposedly PUJ was heading to the Landers, but that all went very quiet.
