Meh, no surprises with the negativity from a small but vocal minority - always a problem in little old Dunedin. Sure it was far from a great performance but still plenty of encouragement and I still think Southern will pick up a few wins and surprise a few people.
Have to remember that's a very good Canterbury side.
Imports are all the real deal - not world beaters but good solid pros and they're the best 5 in the squad. They all seem to bring the right kind of attitude to the team too . It's the locals that need to step up - a couple of them were simply disgraceful on Saturday, nowhere near their best.
