    The professionalism of unwanted All Blacks prop Owen Franks has got his Canterbury team mates sitting up and taking notice


    Franks will make his first appearance for Canterbury in nearly nine years when the side faces Northland in tonight's Mitre 10 Cup match in Whangarei.

    Halfback Ere Enari says Franks quickly picked himself up off the canvas after missing out on World Cup selection.



    Kick off's at 7:35pm.
