Waikato v Canterbury
-
Stone is a shit ref. He was also woeful when Waikato beat Wellington before this break.
As I was in the Green Zone I have no idea why Smith wasn't allowed to take another conversion. What was Stone's excuse?
As to the rest of the game, Waikato were their own worst enemy by not taking try-scoring opportunities in the 1st half especially, and then gifting Canterbury a soft try from a handling error while on attack in the 2nd half. I didn't think Roe or Smith had a great game, and the small wingers weren't threatening enough on attack. McWhannell was busy around the field, so that was encouraging.

Watching delayed. First half impressions:
Waikato skill execution poor, but slowly coming into the game despite the three-legged donkey they have for a five-eighth.
Their #5 is impressive so far.
Canterbury look like they'd walk this with slightly more possession.
Naholo showing wing is a young man's position. Still more dynamic than Bridge... -
Burke showed a bit of pace on that fortuitous try.
@Yeetyaah the good guys won but that was a far worst watch than the Boks and Aussies by the length of the Te Rapa home straight…

@chris Didn't notice him in the bits and pieces I watched. Thought he had a poor game against Auckland. Hope we haven't bought a dud!
Crusaders were pretty keen to keep him,He is only young yet.
Takes awhile for locks to get to a decent top level.
Tough gig Lock, -
Second half impressions:
I was wrong about Felcher Smith. He's a two-legged donkey at best. Isn't there an under 80kg competition?
Waikato should've won this easily, instead gifted 17 points to Canterbury. -

I was happy with the adjudication of the last try. Which other(s) are you referring to?
