[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 663599, member: 57663"] I just wasted 2 hours of my life watching that one, that was awful!!! I know conditions werent great and these arent exactly two of the premier sides, but boy that game was an embarrassing advertisement for ITM Cup rugby. That was quite possibly one of the poorer games of Rugby I have ever watched. Unless something exciting happened in the first 5 minutes (I missed the start) I reckon it took 55min before any one team strung more than 5 phases together. No tries in the whole game (I can only recall one occasion when anyone even went close), heaps of knock-ons, heaps of scrum infringements (if Counties cant sort that scrum out it is going to be a very long year for them), heaps of line outs not straight (Rhys Marshall is a horrible line out thrower!!! how was this guy even considered as an All Black prospect?? I heard he has been a rubbish lineout thrower right back from high school days), heaps of botched line outs, and heaps of kicks out on the full.... Simply rubbish!! Absolutely fitting therefore that there was no winner!! Both teams were woeful and neither deserved a win!! You'd think the organisers would have opted for a better first match up than that one to provide a bit more of a punchy start to the comp!!! [/QUOTE]
