Is the Namibian 2nd 5/8 injured ? He was very good against Taranaki.

[Duluth]

@cgrant

Injured according this article.

Hawkes Bay Today, New Zealand

Magpies quarter-final star out of semi with injury, lock linchpin ready for 50th game

The Magpies take on Canterbury in Christchurch for a shot at the NPC final.

[cgrant]

OK, thanks for the link.

[Dan54]

Now am I right, has game been moved to 4.05pm to avoid T20.

Whoops no, next week's final is the game being moved!

[ExiledHalfback]

Canterbury to bury these art deco belters

[Bovidae]

Malan has a fractured cheekbone according to reports.

[hikastags]

I assume Corey Kellow got injured? He was incredible at the start of the season

[BellsGeorg]

@hikastags yeah, he suffered a serious knee injury during their shield challenge against Southland. Haven't heard any time frames for it, like we have with Grace's knee, so I'm going to hope and pray he's good to go for Super.

He is still in a knee brace and on crutches as is Cullen Grace.

This Game will be interesting, backing the Bay just think back to earlier this year when I heard Fakatava had declined a French top 14 gig, he's a loyal man to his teams and I think It would be bloody cool If he was to play an npc final at his other home Forsyth barr

Nick Grigg out with a fractured cheekbone new midfield for the magpies with Le Roux Malan out with a similar injury
Looks a very disappointing crowd

T20 at Hagley Oval that’s been in the calendar for months

[Landers92]

Justin Marshall commentating a Canterbury game… give me strength

[Steven Harris]

No matter how this Npc plays out Tom Christie is lock for player of the season

[Canes4life]

HB need to take their opportunity’s when they are given them, especially against this Canterbury defence.

Fakatava and McClutchie need to be more accurate.

Flanders has been strong to start.

[Grooter]

@Canes4life Flanders love this guy

[ACT Crusader]

No try?

Shame he just ruled himself out for higher honours.

[Canes4life]

Another opportunity gone burger.
