Auckland vs Canterbury
-
We deserve to lose today. We've been extremely poor. Canterbury's defence has been fantastic today.
-
Billy Harmon easily man of the match today, showing his class. He'll be fantastic for the Crusaders next year.
-
Not the Canterbury of the old, but still to good in the set pieces when it mattered ..last scrum pretty much summed it up.
-
@nzzp Errors really cost us today. Plummer throwing a dumb offload which led to a try before halftime as well as his intercept pass to Harmon, Tusitala kicking the ball out on the full when we had just scored 2 tries in a row which Canterbury scored from, as well as our discipline which was poor. Our set piece also got a bit of a touch up.
Well done Canterbury, the race for 2nd is on! Who knows maybe we could be in a bit of relegation trouble.

Can’t see the Taniwha boys stopping the red and blacks , if I had to chuck in an early bet on , A Canterbury v Ta$man final looks on the cards..
Never thought for a moment that the Cantabs were in relegation trouble even after their 0-3 start. -
Way to go out on a limb
-
@Steven-Harris Did anyone think they were in relegation trouble haha
-
@African-Monkey there were a few on this thread writing them off ..actually more willing them to get relegated ..
-
@Steven-Harris Really? Must have missed that haha I thought most of us expected to come right eventually which they have.
-
@African-Monkey go back to early round threads , must a have been a selective miss.
-
Canterbury back in business and off the bottom of the table.
Auckland making too mistakes and poor decisions this year.
-
Pretty good win. Nice to see us score a few points.

Dammit. I had Canterbury 1-7.
That's reasonably convincing.
So Ta$man v Canterbury final with Waikato holding the Shield. I can handle that....
The Canterbury team that showed up haven't been sighted so far this season. Auckland were hesitant, sluggish at times and didn't playw ith intensity or physicality for a lot of the game. Frustrating.
We miss Sir Graham's coaching I think, and the variety of kicking we had in the backline. Should still do enough to be top 4, but can't see anyone getting up over Ta$man this year (which is pretty cool for Rugby to be fair).
