Hurricanes vs Chiefs

pakman

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?

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.

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.

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.

Lomax straight in from the side

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.....

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.

booboo

Procter not scored yet?

canefan

Oh crap, Naholo goes down in a non contact injury. He'll be gone for the season with a CL injury

The non contact knee injuries are often the worst.
