QF - Canterbury v Auckland
-
Murray has been a real spark. Plays with energy and is tough as nails. Love the try but the clean out he did at an attacking ruck a minute or so earlier was excellent.
-
Canterbury definitely the better team but I question whether this comp should have quarter finals. The quality simply isn't there.
It made more sense when the comp was split to have split semi finals.

Yeah the QFs in a comp with this many team smacks of everyone gets a go attitude

Could Lam have been anymore casual about it.
@ACT-Crusader sums up Auckland. They would do so much better if they actually put everything into their play.
-
Why not have a better kicker?
Penalty / droppie to go to extra time??
-
Meh. Both teams shit, but not as shit as the ref

There's 3 more quarter finals to go. Depends who wins.

@ACT-Crusader if Welly and Taranaki win you’ll be playing the Naki in New Plymouth.

Well done Cantab. Deserving winners.
Not a high quality game.
Would be nice if next year Auckland picked some players from the best club and got some better coaches.
I live in hope.

If Wellington wins, the 3rd ranked semi-finalist.
If Wellington loses, the 4th ranked semi-finalist.No, not quite right. It all depends on who the highest ranked, 2nd-highest ranked, 3rd-highest ranked and lowest ranked winning quarter-finalists are.

@Stargazer it’s all based on seeds. The highest seeded team plays the lowest seeded team until the final. So if Naki and Welly lose, Canterbury will become the highest seed.

@Canes4life It's exactly how I wrote it in my last sentence. I've actually looked it up in the Competition Regulation Handbook.
Edit: If Wellington win, they are the highest ranked winning quarter-finalist; if Taranaki wins as well, they are the 2nd-ranked winning quarter-finalst, but if - say - Taranaki loses, then Canterbury become the 2nd-ranked winning quarter-finalist. etc etc

@Stargazer you hadn’t updated your comment when I posted but yes, correct.

I think you’ll find a few of the crap players were on multi year contracts. Should be some deadwood moving on now
Worth noting some of the best players this year were the inexperienced tight 5, Clark, XTH etc.

Been impressed with how he’s developed. From what I’ve seen this season he’s looked really solid. Has good athleticism around the park and at the lineout.

Thought Grace played pretty well
Ran the ball with a bit of purpose (and didn’t break)

I have a feeling he did break. Just prior to going off the medics were looking at his shoulder, then a few moments later he had a short run down the sideline and looked weird in the way he took the contact with his shoulder. He wasn't seen on camera again.

I said the same thing to me Dad, I’m sure he was hurt.
