Cantabs come straight back with a cracking try.
Good second half, this.

Wellington are a pain in the arse team, just never going away and taking the win.
Grace scored a super try from the back of the scrum but was sloppy with the ball in hand as you say

Couldn't help but notice some Cantab scamp firmly holding Brad Shields onto the side of the scrum as Grace broke away. Shields looked pissed afterwards.Kiwias wrote: Sun Aug 27, 2023 3:50 am Wellington are a pain in the arse team, just never going away and taking the win.

I would have been at Eden Park for the match in 1980, a mate of mine was skipper of the Auckland team so I used to watch all home games.

Why are you mounting this agenda? Why try to spin this the way you are?

I've actually started a thread on that review Torq, if you'd like to get into a bit of analysis on it all.

Was thinking of doing the same: we are in trouble. Eng, Wales and Aus all have very deep problems. Even in Fra the health of the game is unclear and heavily contested.Guy Smiley wrote: Fri Sep 01, 2023 3:41 am I've actually started a thread on that review Torq, if you'd like to get into a bit of analysis on it all.

Meanwhile Northland are playing very well v the Bay. I can’t remember Sam Nock ever playing this well for the Blues but he is really on tonight.

Northland ahead 24-14 after an entertaining first half.

Well nobody picked that in the FR. Hawkes really under performing the sum of their parts whereas Northland have got their arses into gear.

Canterbury vs Taranaki kicking off shortly.
Really looking forward to this one. Suspect Canterbury will be too strong up front, per usual. Darry back starting beside Romano, Moody at loosehead, and an all-star loose trio of Harmon, Christie and Grace.
Also really keen to see how Alex Harford goes at 10. A very talented young player, who's getting a rare start with Burke's move to fullback. Hope he makes the most of it.

Falling apart a bit now. Good guys score an easy try from an attacking lineout. 22 - 11
