Would be cool to see the team who started off the season unable to win knock off the consistent best team.

That wind is gonna play a huge role.

Gardiner often so clumsy lol

Zach Gallagher maybe should have started playing blindside a bit earlier than his last few weeks in NZ rugby

Canterbury would be advised not kicking it away this half. Just grind out phases ball in hand.

Love this Counties 12 Gibson Popoalli and his Sam Tuitupo headgear

of course Ioane Moananu scores in christchurch

@Grooter said in QF: Canterbury v Counties:

of course Ioane Moananu scores in christchurch

Haha Ikr, always the way.

Canterbury probably just about happy with that - damage could be been a lot worse given the wind.

Kieran Read is wearing his Counties jersey.

Nanai-Seturo looking lively as he often does

Darrylnot having a great start

Clutch Defence by Knewstubb

Damn ...counties have not been clinical with their 22 entries in the second half. Poor options.

Malimali is dangerous but his error rate is very high

Come on Steelers. Game is there for the taking.

McAlister unsure why Ryan rates him so much

If Counties had been brave, I reckon that kick from Knewstubb would've rolled 40 metres and dead.

Real lack of patience by Canterbury when they've occasionally got their hands on the ball.
