Wellington vs Canterbury

Bovidae

Wellington butchered both those lineout drives. The first they needed to keep at the back and the second get the ball out early. But they did the opposite both times.

atrocious mauls

@Bovidae And third mistake, you try and maul Canterbury.

this game's a mess. quite frankly the level has downgraded this year.

Must be remembered neither of these teams have won a game yet.

Toddy

Why the hell does the red 7 keep running in offside then running back? Some kind of new tactic that isn't working?

Wellington trying to keep the game close enough to lose

How big is James Blackwell's ticker.

Rebuen Thorne without the flashiness

This might be the worst Canterbury team in my memory (and I’m pretty old).

Stargazer

@Wally That's including the coach.

Toddy

Lions props can't scrum. Doesn't bode well for the Canes next year.

nakosi

horrible game I'm wondering how bad it can go further but they are surprising me as times goes by.

The Canes should sign Rakete-Stones from Hawke's Bay. Has a blinder of a season thus far.

@Toddy they were fine in the first half. With all their running and the fact it's into the last 12 mins, i'd say they've done a fine job.

Wally

@Stargazer

Both coaches. Especially R Thorne I suspect.

Bovidae

Wellington better hope those missed opportunities don't come back to bite them again.

Stockcar86

lets see one of the Canterbury props try to charge down this penalty

Stargazer

@Stockcar86 JGB missed without anyone trying to charge it down.

Toddy

Been a few Lions players down with cramp in the second half. How unconditioned are these guys.

He needs the charge down to have a second crack at it again
