been a hard season for we die hard Cantabs - poor start, lack of consistency - no excuses, just have to suck it up. On the plus side a few key players showing some good form going into the international season and good to see Kieran Read back.
I thought if ever the Chiefs were going to stand up it would have ben tonight, and pre game thought they would have beaten the under strength Canes. There's a bit of work to do before they take on the Highlanders next weekend.
Well done the Canes - yeah I have been waiting for a choke too, but the Crusaders game a side they have been fairly classy. Hard to see them getting beaten.
Looking forward to the AB's first squad of the season being named - cant see too many surprises but will be interested in who pairs Savea on the wing and also second string halfback and fullback. Cant see Jane or Dagg making it, but then again those struggling for game time and form have previously been given early season AB games to play themselves in.
And if all else fails there's a few pretty handy Steeplechase and Hurdle Races coming up over the next few months!!!!
