Rugby: Canterbury vs Wellington : Semi Final

[-D-S-B-]

Canterbury vs Wellington - ITM Cup Semi Final

 

[CG123]

57 - 41 to the red and black machine.

Pretty epic match really, two late tries to Canterbury took it out beyond 13+, but it was very tight for the rest of the match.

So the final will be in Christchurch, just a matter now of who Canterbury play.

Good game to watch. Fruean was outstanding again, he should be in the All Blacks right now but his time will come. I hope for his and NZ rugby's sake that his heart lets him enjoy a long career.

With a dodgy condition like his, if the AB's don't select him soon he'll chase the money overseas because apparently there's a chance that his career could be shortened due to that heart condition.

We've got some great young outside back prospects here in NZ and that game really showed some of them off. I bet England wish they could have just one of these guys!

Canterbury to win the final, Fruean > SBW

A random NZ domestic player is now one of England's best players, Riki Flutey. He was just a journeymen over here, but when he goes to England, he's an automatic selection these days.

We're just blessed with so many talented rugby union players, a pity it's not like that for cricket.

That 17/18 schoolboy was pretty decent for Wellington as well.
