🔁 Throwback to 1996 Counties Manukau 44 v 36 Canterbury What’s your score prediction for tomorrow’s game?

[nonpartizan]

Would be cool to see the team who started off the season unable to win knock off the consistent best team.

[nonpartizan]

That wind is gonna play a huge role.

[Grooter]

Gardiner often so clumsy lol

[zedsdeadbaby]

Zach Gallagher maybe should have started playing blindside a bit earlier than his last few weeks in NZ rugby

[nonpartizan]

Canterbury would be advised not kicking it away this half. Just grind out phases ball in hand.

[Grooter]

Love this Counties 12 Gibson Popoalli and his Sam Tuitupo headgear

[Grooter]

of course Ioane Moananu scores in christchurch

Haha Ikr, always the way.

Canterbury probably just about happy with that - damage could be been a lot worse given the wind.

[mikedogz]

Kieran Read is wearing his Counties jersey.

[Grooter]

Nanai-Seturo looking lively as he often does

[ploughboy]

Darrylnot having a great start

[Grooter]

Clutch Defence by Knewstubb

[nonpartizan]

Damn ...counties have not been clinical with their 22 entries in the second half. Poor options.

[KiwiMurph]

Malimali is dangerous but his error rate is very high

[nonpartizan]

Come on Steelers. Game is there for the taking.

[Grooter]

McAlister unsure why Ryan rates him so much

[Chris B.]

If Counties had been brave, I reckon that kick from Knewstubb would've rolled 40 metres and dead.

[Chris B.]

Real lack of patience by Canterbury when they've occasionally got their hands on the ball.
