Tasman v Canterbury

[Tim]

Sione Havili down early. Knee was already heavily strapped.

[Dice]

Surprised Punivai scored that, because for a big guy, he barely ever beats defenders.

[African Monkey]

@Dice Very poor defence I thought.

[Tim]

Be interesting to see if Sanders makes a difference. A harder, more physical loose forward to most of Canterbury's.

[Tim]

Mitchell Hunt is another Auck Uni engineering graduate.

[Yeetyaah]

Nankivell out with a broken hand.

[Dice]

Looks like Nankivell is done for the season. Broke his hand.

[African Monkey]

Canterbury looking good so far.

[Tim]

Ta$man's attack is pretty shite so far. No penetration.

[ACT Crusader]

Drummond’s play is all over the show. High passing, poor kicks.

Forward pack going very well.

@Tim said in Ta$man v Canterbury:

Ta$man's attack is pretty shite so far. No penetration.

Sounds like most of us on a Saturday night.

[African Monkey]

Ta$man may wanna rethink throwing to the back.

[antipodean]

Ta$man are going to have to do better if Canterbury are permitted to do anything at the ruck.

[ACT Crusader]

That was a great chase and take by Fihaki, but Drummond’s wayward pass stifles attacking momentum.

Nice penalty kick from Cameron.

[ACT Crusader]

Best team defence I’ve seen from our boys for a while.

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Strange in that maul, but poor set up by the Cantabs.

[ACT Crusader]

McKay that was sweet

[African Monkey]

McKay's been good tonight.

[African Monkey]

Ta$man not at the races.

[antipodean]

Nice try by McKay, straight up the middle. Ta$man can't make inroads carrying, can't win a lineout and Canterbury go to the break 17 - 0 up.
