Auckland v Canterbury
-
Both sides out of form so hard to pick
Does Auckland get Plummer back this week? That should help the organisation, both starting tens have played poor so far
I'm not a fan of the wing selections but I'm hoping XTH showed enough last week to move from 15 to wing (assuming Zarn is back from injury)
Is Clark fit? I'd like to see him in the loose forwards with one of Choat/Segner dropping back to the bench. I just like the mix better
The biggest issue has been the error rate. Maybe an late afternoon kickoff will help
McGrath needs to use his subs better. The locks and loosies all played 80mins last week

Who's at home in this one? If Auckland are, they should win this one, Canterbury rugby haven't been good for a couple years now and based on their performance the other day, I can't see it improving any time soon.

Time to bounce back from what was a very poor performance against Ta$man.
Hopefully Heinz doesn’t start
@Canes4life it’s at Eden Park

Yeah I don't get the Heinz selection. Very Bizzare.

Canterbury lost Poihipi to an injury that didn’t look great last weekend and he has been their 10 this season. Only other 10 in Canterbury’s squad is James White who is an NPC rookie. Doesn’t get any easier for them.

This is a bit of a cripple fight so far. Both teams struggling to hold onto the ball in the first 15 minutes. Tito-Harris looking dangerous from fullback.
-
Cullen Grace off with a head knock.
-
Gus Brown getting absolutely monstered at scrum time.
-
Shocking game so far. Even TJ's complaining how bad both teams have been.
Surely Canterbury are close to a card, they are getting munted at scrum time.
-
Canterbury hit right back through Rova.
