Some of the work around names has been poor - even by Nisbett's and Marshall's standards.

Nisbett doesn't even engage his brain when he says his cliches anymore, he did the "Harkin with all his pace" when he got the ball about a metre from the defence and hit it up.

"Roigard, again..."

Flanders is fucking off, AND he tries to injure an All Black prop desperately needed for South Africa, Just piss off already!
Apart from that, can't read anything from this game.

@Old-Samurai-Jack think Cooper is sticking around so he'll probably get a few more chances to injure AB props.

You do realise it was Cooper (Devan’s younger bro) that played last night right?

Well game was more or less as expected. The Canes boys that haven't played bugger all ran out of steam a bit in second half after lack of time together showed a bit, There (as most would expect) a bit of a disconnect in midfield on defence at times, and loosies seemed to struggle to operate as a unit.
I was interested (and pleased) to hear both coaches say after game they were a bit pissed etc. Although I it was good to hear Laidlaw say they would still do a full review etc as players , even though newbies, deserved that. You need to review games like that if you want players to learn.

Clearly not

On the fireworks smoke. Just saw this comment under a Canterbury Rugby Supporters Club post that popped up on the Facebook feed:

Teething problems... the skydivers had problems with entry as well

Haha, I did not! In my defense, it was a nice wine.
AND I thought "Flanders" wasn't playing up to the hype.

Interesting to see how Harkin and Moorby went playing for the Highlanders. Harkin a number of errors, and Moorby not much ball to do anything with.
Reece by far the best outside back on display, yuck.
Fihaki in a dominant team... just is not a winger. Roberts looked like the 2nd coming of Riley Higgins out there.
