How does anyone think that Garden-Bachop is a better 10 than Debreczeni?

[MN5]

Who's J Blackwell? Bloody inspiring seeing a Paul Tito lookalike in the engine room again after all these years.

A few years back we'd get offered free tickets at work and I'd end up with them because the others guy couldn't be arsed watching the canes play . Now it's like the early 2000s when the stadium first opened .

GFYs Hammetuer.

I wonder how far Dunedin have got with paying off the Forsyth Barr before he takes over?

[jegga]

They better start crowdfunding before the reign of error begins.

But think how well they will train.

[raznomore]

a little unexpected but its great to see Paul Tito back in the locks again.

[mariner4life]

@raznomore fuck how do you feel? To use an MN5 joke, after he has already used it, in the same thread

#gutted

[raznomore]

@mariner4life fuck!

[mimic]

What a boot.. Kick from halfway and the ball cleared the posts easily

[mimic]

I didn't realise that the rule changed about forcing the ball dead

[Crash]

And thats why you should take the three when they are on offer

[Crash]

NMS under the bar! Been a long time between drinks if you know what I mean...good to see
BB converts 7-6 Canes

[Crash]

Canes still a bit lazy on D

[KiwiMurph]

Beaudie's technique at chip kicking is wonderful - it aint luck it bounces up like that.

[taniwharugby]

scratchy start but they seem to be getting into thier groove now.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph another player who always seemed to get the right bounce, Goldie.

[Crash]

BB sizes up the opportunity well and a well-weighted chip is seized on by Aso who scampers 20 metres to score!
BB adds the extras 14=6 Canes

[KiwiMurph]

Yep very goldie like.

Weren't Canes supposed to be wearing their tour jerseys?
