Canterbury v Tasman (RS)

[Duluth]

Starting soon

[Chris B.]

Ta$man start with a really good try and then gift one back in comical fashion.

Lots of errors so far, but hard and fast.

[Chris B.]

Canterbury gift one back in almost identically comical fashion. Dave H. donor and beneficiary!

[Chris B.]

Entertainiing game, so far.

Ta$man had the better of the first half hour - didn't bang a nail in the coffin and from a 15-7 lead, conceded two late tries.

19-15 to Canterbury at halftime.

Big Leicester causing some problems in midfield. Annoyingly, Louie Chapman has scored two tries and the other with an assist.

KSM a late withdrawl, I think - so our starting props will have to go deep.

[Chris B.]

Fihaki scored the third with a dominant aerial catch!

@Chris-B said in Canterbury v Ta$man (RS):

Fihaki scored the third with a dominant aerial catch!

It says a lot about the state of the AB wings at the moment he would actually be an improvement - he can kick the ball and catch a high ball for a start

[Landers92]

@Chris-B Did McLeod go off injured or get yanked after his brain fart?

[Landers92]

And now a huge brain fart from Fihaki doing the exact same thing as McLeod

[Chris B.]

Third comical one - Taumoefolau scores.

McLeod looked like ribs!

Ta$man take the lead and playing with the wind!

[Chris B.]

Big Leicester creates more havoc and then delivers a pass for Maka to score in the crner.

Can't convert. Crucial miss.

Ta$man 25-19

[Chris B.]

Canterbury score.

We're defending too much - gotta force an early error from the restart.

25-24

[Chris B.]

Aaaargggh!

Fuck it.

Great effort, boys - but you could feel it coming at the end.

[KiwiMurph]

Hard luck @Chris-B

Shield rugby summed up there

[Landers92]

How goods the NPC! What a game. Bring on the shield challenge next week!

[ACT Crusader]

Something about that log that produces more close games no matter how good or dumb the teams play.

Just ground the ball you eggs.

But in saying that, good to see some decent kick chasing going on.

Thought the Cantab pack took a. Bit of time to get into it, but finished strong.
