    What a magnificent sight seeing my team walking down the stairs amongst the crowd to take the field for this game. Something essentially old fashiond almost cricket like in a way. Anyway battle commences.

      I saw it as a sneaky plan by Of Plenty to try and make some our players trip before making the field.

          Does anyone know why Ash Dixon isn't starting?

          Edit: and who is our hooker on the bench?

            Goodness, this is a very Philpottesque start as the score balloons out to 14 nil.

                  On defence implies there is defence.

                      I'm going to start ragging on the sub standard facilities to cover my anger at the start.

                      How can an NPC ground have players walk down from the grandstand and the coaches box is a trestle table? ๐Ÿ™‚

                        @Nepia And probably no big screen for replays either. Having said that the ball did look held up about a couple of millimeters abouve the ground.

                                We are certainly off our game today. Normally a lineout five metres short of the line would almost be a certain try but without Ash Dixon it went nowhere and eventaully the ball was turned over in front of the posts and hooferd down to half way. This is not going well!

                                  There are probably extension cords running from those laptops to a generator out the back. I hope it doesn't rain.

                                    @Higgins noticing the fact Walker-Leawere isn't there either. He provides so much grunt in the tight five.

                                        I'd love to see Chase Tiatia at 10. Maybe the Canes should move him there in Super.

                                          I don't think having the wind at our backs will sort out our poor defence and pedestrian attack.
