What a bloody great night! After many disappointments this season this game gave us rusted-ons much to smile about! I know it was only a regular season match but the post-game atmosphere and mood was that of a premiership win.

To be fair, does any SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) team have a fully fit 23?

Well, he is selected for Saturday. Assuming (hoping) not just in the hope he will be right by then.

Once he finishes his sentence! Very good news, thought he has had a breakout season to date.

If it wasn’t for injuries to locks last saeason, Canham may never have got a run. It’s great to see him doing so well after taking full advantage of his opportunity.

Possibly some leadership?

That is one sweet forward pack!

I was hoping to see this. Thank you!

Same. Also, with Sampson also re-signed there is also a possible succession plan if things don’t won’t out. I feel our attacked has improved greatly since Tim arrived.

I love bye week - a round where I’m not nervous!

Footage of Jordy walking after game collecting his 50th cap was promising. He was walking with a bit of a limp, but not on crutches at least. Maybe he just did that for the cameras.

Yet he has been picked for this Saturday, so why was he not considered due to injury? It’s not like the training camp is this weekend.
