Auckland has been up and down all year. Cantabs started well winning 3 in a row but have only won 3 of the last 7

Haven't heard an update on Choat? I presume he's missing which means there's a drop off from the starting loosies down to Jones

Cantabs are favourites in Christchurch

Choat and Plummer out

Focused on finishing as Canterbury get set to repay Auckland in Quarter Final — Canterbury Rugby

Drawing on the energy of a passionate home crowd will be key for Canterbury as they look to repel old foes Auckland in Friday night’s NPC Quarter Final.

12 and 12 combo gives a hint to the game plan for Auckland.

Joe Moody scratched from the reserves replaced by Tom Heywood.

[Duluth]

@Chris

Weird that he was named on the bench to start with. Was he carrying a niggle or is this the AB’s screwing with the NPC again?

[Chris]

@Duluth
He did have a niggle ,so it could be just that .I hear he is next on the plane if they need a prop.

[KiwiMurph]

Of course it's Tony Johnson

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph Just as predictable as Ken Laban commentating the Wellington game tomorrow.

[Duluth]

On field try. Pathetic officiating

[Steven Harris]

Auckland D has been super impressive

[Stargazer]

Burke off early with an injury. Looked serious.

Crotty on.

[Duluth]

Good response

Some nice touches from Tele’a

Some nice touches from Tele’a

Then an awful drop

[Steven Harris]

2 Canterbury forward passes missed by Bryant

[ACT Crusader]

Drummond is a massive handbrake on our attack.

[KiwiMurph]

Auckland are being seriously outplayed and are somehow ahead.
