2013 – ITM CUP - NZ's 3rd Tier Competition

[ACT Crusader]

^^^ Isn't some mob close to Canterbury in the heartland (div 3) competition final as well?

They'll be dancing in the streets of the Crusaders franchise tonight.

Edit:
from NZ Herald Web site:



Looks like the Crusaders won everything.

THere's one more final tomorrow HJ, the Lochore Cup and South Canterbury is playing Buller.

6 years in a row whooohooo

Lucky they're not called the University of Canterbury, they'd be an uproar here in Sydney

Do you a deal, Canes can grab Ihaia and release Marty Banks to he Force. With no JOC (James O'Connor), a reserve 10/15 would be perfect.

Marty Banks had a very good game. I was also impressed by the Mako's No 8. Didn't think West played all that good, and certainly had a Quade-esque moment when he took the quick tap 5m from the Mako tryline and immediately threw an intercept pass to Banks I think, who ran the length of the field to score.

Api Naikatini. Nah it's just finals time and players always do stuff to try and stand out knowing the nation (and Int'l audience) are watching

Think he stands out more for his looks than for his playing ability. He is keen but doesn't seem to make all that much impact on the game.

^^^^ That has really made my day.

What a cracker find.

No half measures in NZ heartland cup rugby.

Good call by the referee. I bet the law makers didn't have this scenario in mind when they drafted the law on kicks going dead, or kickoff's not going 10 metres.
