Hugely entertaining game when Williams wasn't needlessly blowing his whistle.
Thought that last penalty was a big call - looked like he was trapped by the cleaners. But the better team on the night got the biscuits.
Those have been penalties for years, no excuses, don't get yourself in that position. I'm not saying I'm agreeing, but that's what it's been ruled for ages.
But so much whistle, means lots of penalties were wrong and equally bad things missed.
Don't disagree, it's just that so often refs recognise that there's a difference between unable to move because you're trapped and being slow to roll away. On first viewing I thought it was more the former, especially given how long he took to do anything.

Funny sort of game. But very enjoyable
Cameron has easily his best game this year. Proctor was outstanding. One player who we can't lose as it showed in recent weeks.
IWL was much better compared to recent performances too.
I agree with Proctor. Billy is clearly a AB squad member this year and could be a member of the gameday 23 if Rieko has another head knock.
IWL is a flat track bully - only looks good against teams with poor locks.

@BorderJB the consistency of Proctor has to get him in. He’s been good all year, ALB was very good tonight aswell but has only just come into form.
-
Go the Chiefs next week by the way.
-
@Canes4life yea and both organize the def really well, which was a big part of tonight.

Late season form is what they care about.

@antipodean I’d be annoyed if Havili gets in over Proctor or ALB. Both players should be in there.

Unless your Pita Gus Sowakula and Plumtree is the ABs forwards coach

I agree with Proctor in ABs, but by christ there were 2 bloody good 13s on field tonight. I though (even as a Canes man) ALB was very bloody good too.

Didn’t realise it until I watched the last 20 again but Delany must have come on and then gone off with injury again. Howden was playing lock in that last 20 mins.

Well...
... good game.
Enjoyed it.
Despite the best efforts of the league media rugby isn't dead and crikey look at that crowd for a dead sport.
Good on Canes good for the win.
Inches in it either way, so often.
Best thing for me was Samisoni remembering he is Taukei'aho...
