Hurricanes vs Chiefs

[pakman]

Canes scrum isn’t bashing oppo the way they did last year. Numia seems a step down from where he was in Super last year. I wonder if his Achilles is ?

[cgrant]

Huge game for Norris. If he can achieve parity against Lomax at scrum time, he should earn a selection within the AB squad as he is the form prop in the loose.

Canes front row is nowhere close to last year, in set piece and in general play. No idea what happened.

No Sangster this year. Maybe engine room underpowered?

[cgrant]

Nah, IWL and Gallagher are physically huge, as is Will Tucker.

There is plenty of technique involved. Patty T was a poor scrummager until a year or two ago.

[cgrant]

My answer was concerning your word "underpowered". I do know that scrum is also a matter of technique.

Is this New Zealand’s closest rivalry?

@Canes4life two teams mired in mediocrity, with three titles between them in 30 seasons. Made for each other.

[sparky]

Huge game. The Hurricanes will need to build up a bit of a lead, before the mighty Wallace Sititi comes off the bench.

Lol imagine Super Rugby without the Canes and Chiefs though. Would be boring as hell.

Berry on the whistle, great win Hurricanes.

[Yeetyaah]

Lomax straight in from the side

[canefan]

Harkin throws away another turnover near the tryline. I wonder if he got a call from a Chiefs player

[canefan]

Love should put away that chip kick. It's not good

[Yeetyaah]

@canefan personally I think it's great, especially if he keeps doing it in this game.

You would.....

[canefan]

Canes attack not showing a lot of variety or penetration so far

[Bones]

Rieko/BB style ignoring of a huge overlap by Proctor there.

[Tim]

Scrappy game so far. Lots of errors.
