Wellington vs Canterbury

@nakosi said in Wellington vs Canterbury:
this game's a mess. quite frankly the level has downgraded this year.
Rather than the level of rugby going down generally, I think there's more been a shift to other teams. Canterbury is suffering from its own success (losing a lot of players to the ABs in recent years); Wellington has always gone up and down over the years (they're clearly worse this year). But other teams have become better the last few years and play exciting rugby. Ta$man being the best example, but also Auckland. Same in the Championship division.
@Stargazer It's also a world cup year, which has affected depth a bit.
-
Wellington butchered both those lineout drives. The first they needed to keep at the back and the second get the ball out early. But they did the opposite both times.
@Bovidae And third mistake, you try and maul Canterbury.
-
Wellington trying to keep the game close enough to lose

How big is James Blackwell's ticker.
-
Rebuen Thorne without the flashiness
-
@Toddy they were fine in the first half. With all their running and the fact it's into the last 12 mins, i'd say they've done a fine job.
-
Both coaches. Especially R Thorne I suspect.

lets see one of the Canterbury props try to charge down this penalty
