Hurricanes vs Waratahs

Brilliant win for the Canes.
-
Just caught up. Jeez it just shows how good a team the Canes could be if they can get all their players on the park.
Outstanding performance and easily our best performance of the year.
Aumua and Naholo with great games and Du Plessis is knocking down the ABs door. Will be very hard to ignore him.

Hurricanes should be gutted to ship 12 points to such a shit Waratahs side.

Jorgensen probably had his season ended by what is effectively a hip-drop tackle.
I think rugby could take a leaf from League's book and punish those type of tackles. They cause a lot of injuries.

Kirifi is a ll black in waiting I think this yer! He is red hot at the moment and also not giving so many silly penalties away

As Kirifi has said in a few post matches interviews this year he’s sitting back and picking his moments, whereas before he would try to go for everything which would get him into trouble.
He’s definitely going from strength to strength and over the last year he’s really come of age. He’s quite clearly the best no 7 in NZ atm.

Love's late cameo at 1st Five was interesting though I think he was sometimes standing like a 1st Five during the first half (for the 2nd Naholo try, for instance). I'd like to see him play there as he has all the attributes to become a very good 1st Five.

Yeah that's the biggest difference in his game. He used to just go at everything and rightly get pinged more often than not for it, but now he's a lot smarter about it.
I'd be surprised if he got given a look for higher honors more due to the conservative selections but certainly wouldn't be against it if he got a go.

He was picking a fuck load of moments, he was everywhere. Only got pinged once for hands on the ground. But that only happened cos the player was lying on the ball, so bullshit call

AB selectors should be taking serious note of Ruben Love's wide passing game at 15 - he's been using it to great effect this season - that type of skillset could really help open up the AB attack.

You joining ACT's call for Jordie to fullback?

Just as importantly if we are thinking about Ruben Love as a Test 15, his aerial work is excellent. I'd love to see him as the All Blacks first-choice Full Back.

At least give him a run would be nice.
