That’s a handy side.
Amazing what a difference to the teams with ABs available, players back from abroad and I guess less injuries after a normally long Super season.

It’s Harbour’s to lose tonight...

I’ll be watching out for Ethan Roots who signed with the Saders. Not your biggest loosie but showed good signs last year for Harbour.

13 Asaeli Tikoirotuma

That’s interesting wouldn’t pick him to have the physicality or the distribution skills to play 13.

He's played plenty for the chiefs there I'm sure. Was he the centre when they won?

[mikey07]

@Bones My grainy recollection was he was only played on the wing.

[KiwiMurph]

@Bones He played more wing for Chiefs during that period - Andrew Horrell and Charlie Ngatai played 13. Pretty sure he's played a lot of 13 in recent years though.

[Bones]

@KiwiMurph yeah that's right, they had Aki too. I've definitely seen him playing centre enough that it's no surprise though.

Jacob Pierce has made some powerful carries so far.

And now a turnover penalty at the ruck from Pierce.

[Tim]

@Duluth I'd have him in front of Vaai!

TJ nearly busting when Canterbury scored a try.

Are the harbour players wearing their club socks?

Looks like it. Good money saving idea!

[African Monkey]

North Harbour defence looks good so far. Canterbury's scrum dominating.

Yeah. Can harbour keep it up for another 60!

[African Monkey]

@Machpants I'd be suprised haha but you never know. I expect Mo'unga to break the game open when he comes on.
