It was basically like the test in Aus, kick the ball back and forwards. Knock on a bit, and then spark into gear near the try line only to again knock it on.

Damn, got to wait for a while for the next All Blacks test, oh well...

 

[aussie1st]

You guys got the Air NZ cup to watch at least (well I do too ) APC comp is interesting, it's good to see how the youngsters go.

 

[obelisk]

do u support anyone in the AirNZ cup since there are no aussies?

 

[kookaburra69]

Canterbury all the way mate,who do you guys support?

 

[aussie1st]

Auckland obviously Supporting the Aussies is far enough for me, don't want to go supporting the Cantabs in Auckland as well!

 

[woosaah]

canterbury for me 2

 

[kookaburra69]

we lost the sheild mate!

 

[aussie1st]

Dam useless Canterbury Auckland was meant to beat them in the last round to take the shield back where it belongs

 

[obelisk]

i was kinda expecting to lose it to auckland, but not harbour

 

[kookaburra69]

north habour just played really well,got 2 easy intercept trys.Luke mcCallistair also played well for habour.

 

[aussie1st]

Luke wasn't anywhere near his best, pretty poor by his standards actually. Harbour were lucky to get away with the win, Canterbury had most of the ball and were only denied due to the 2 intercepts.

 

[obelisk]

I think Harbour's defense was another big reason, as they made a lot of try saving tackles

 

[aussie1st]

Oh yea the Brumbies are back
First team to win the APC and I must say it's gone pretty well. Games have been really good just the crowd and revenue wouldn't have been great.

Final:
BRUMBIES 42 (T Curran 2 F Fainifo T Wright A Campbell J Huxley tries; J Huxley 6 goals)
QUEENSLAND REDS 17 (J Dart C Brown tries; A Brown 2 goals L Johansson pen goal)
At Viking Park Canberra.

I haven't really been following the Air New Zealand Cup but if I had to go for a team it would be Auckland, because I know a few of the players personally.
