QF: Canterbury v Counties

[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.

He also looks much slower now.

[nonpartizan]

Who would've thought this would have ended 15-15 once Canterbury drew level? I assumed they would ground out a 10 point win.

Such an absorbing game.

[SouthernMann]

Counties have put in a heck of a shift. Feel like Canterbury will put some points on over the next 20 and run away with it.

Pretty smart 10 minutes into the wind from
Canterbury. Didn’t give them any ball in that 10 minutes really

[Chris B.]

Much better first 10 minutes into the wind for the Cantabs. Didn't give Counties a sniff of the ball.

[KiwiMurph]

McAlister going off has been a real positive for Canterbury

Bell playing much better

Apparently the third best hooker in NZ while also being Canterbury's third best hooker. Probably the third best in this game too.

[Chris B.]

Good kick by Fihaki.

Long way back for Counties now.

[Grooter]

Well congrats Canterbury they find a way as they often do, my multi is over as is Counties speculator season it's been a real treat watching them the last few months

[KiwiMurph]

Very enjoyable game

Excellent effort by Counties but Canterbury deserved winners

Counties didnt score a point after the 31st minute

[Bovidae]

I felt tired watching that.

You wouldn't have known that was 1 vs 8.

[mikedogz]

Oh well, another season as a Counties supporter over. All I ask is for improvement year on year and we are seeing that. We just need to start the year better. Hopefully a few more players get Super Rugby contracts.

Cam Church is an NZ Universities legend. Good to see him playing so well
