Hurricanes need a rocket at halftime. Guys like Punivai running the ball up in slow motion.

A lot of the "best player in the world" guys have been pretty quiet and ordinary (mostly in the backs).

Last 15 minutes of that half just meandered along. No variation in the attack, a heap of kicking straight to opposition players, poor ball security at LO and ruck time.

The whole team has been shit tonight. Obviously thought they could just turn up and win. Will need to wake up in the second.

I have been peddling this for ages, but Tanielu Tele’a is so underrated. He makes a MASSIVE difference to the way the Landers play.

Does Cully realise he’s on TV? Boy never cracks a smile!

At least he’s doesn’t turn up drunk like Marshy and Dagg

I'm not sure how Playle thinks Shield's counter-rucking can involve using both hands to stay upright.

Yeah it's bizarre reffing, I've already mentioned any canes high tackle has been brushed off as the ball carrier dipping and not even a penalty. Guess Jim is too short for that "rule".

But that’s the only time they’ve made sense or been half entertaining.
-
@frugby I think lots of people rate him, he's just frequently injured so isn't mentioned often.

@Bones said in Hurricanes vs Highlanders:
Can't see the canes being that poor two halves in a row with the quality they have.
I can, they’ve done it too many times over the years as favourites.

Landers to keep contesting Canes lineout and scrums .. upsetting the set plays is what is building the frustration in the Canes.
Expect more bizarre decisions from the ref..... is this his debut?

I believe he's being mentored by Williams and Gardner.

Classic Joseph. ‘The rugby we are playing tonight is way better than last week’. Yeah, that’s because you didn’t play.
-
So Punivai with an ankle injury - explains his lack of dynamism in the first half.
-
I'd be interested in stats for the amount of penalties EdG and Holland give away for fucking about on the opposition side of the breakdown.
