Southland v Canterbury (RS)

[ACT Crusader]

Our strongest available backline and close to our best pack.

Shearer - Peni - Manson have been in very good form for Southland and will take some stopping.

[SouthernMann]

Southland will need the crowd to get them home.

[Chris B.]

Someone must have made the Connor McLeod Highlanders joke?

[KiwiMurph]

@Chris-B I don't understand why they haven't signed him for the PR alone

[cgrant]

How old is Ben Funnell ? I guess Letiu must be injured.

[Fredsaua12]

Letiu is starting for Canterbury B in the curtain raiser game so he is definitely not injured.

[Mattasaurus]

Squally hails showers, cold wind here in Invercargill this morning ...... I feel the stars aligning

[SouthernMann]

MetService has the temp at 3.9c, feeling like -1. Hopefully it stays that way

[Yeetyaah]

Get up Stags

[frugby]

Disaster of a start for Southland

[KiwiMurph]

Southland are no chance if they can't sort out their set piece

[frugby]

I suspect the conclusion after this game, is probably going to be genuine confusion as to how Taranaki ever managed to lose the shield to Waikato.

[KiwiMurph]

Credit to Canterbury

They are better than every other team in the comp by so much it isn't funny

[SouthernMann]

There are two different sets of contenders this year. Canterbury. The rest.

Looks like we are all competing to lose to Canterbury in the final

I guess not having many ABs helps with that.

[KiwiMurph]

What's the problem

Guy was in ruck and he cleaned him out

Fucking Doleman

[frugby]

Southland are way too emotional here.

[frugby]

@KiwiMurph Have to agree. Countless unnecessary calls. Just not reading the room, and dare I say it, making it all about himself.

They are just clearly the best team in the comp. An absolutely stacked team at this level.

I reckon the Naki will give them a go.
