Yeow!! With that many injuries I can see Waikato getting a sound beating and missing the finals on count back to Counties and Harbour.

6-2 bench or is Oli Mathis actually just covering the backs? I could totally see it.

A bit of both, I'd say. Filipo could have brought in another outside back. He went with a 7:1 bench against Auckland last year!

George Bell piss poor ball skills can't throw to the lineout can't catch the ball. Good ball runner though. He reminds me Alad De Malmache.

Canterbury defense has had a bit of intensity so far this week.

Big George just caught a yellow so he can catch something. Good to see being around the All Black environment hasn't disrupted his Super Rugby form.

fair call by the ref I thought

Oli Mathis quickest loosie in the land

Chay Fihaka a big man who charges at the line with all the power of a halfback. He definitely plays smaller than his size.

Mattasaurus

holy shit that was a collision alright

Bovidae

Luckily this is a free swing for Waikato now. Already with a re-arranged backline and three U20 players in the back three, including a flanker.

The Canterbury 15 is pretty good. Too bad his name isn't Chay Fihaki.

Punivai shows Fihaki how to power over the line in contact.

Bovidae

Hopefully Cruden is fit to play next week. We're dropping like flies.

What BS hahaha

Chris

Is Finau playing apart from one.run he has been non existent

Bovidae

Wrampling will probably be on the wing now.

Fihaki's kicks don't look that long and sure are not accurate. Is his big boot a myth like Luke Jacobson's cement shoulders?
