Hurricanes v Rebels

[raznomore]

a little unexpected but its great to see Paul Tito back in the locks again.

@raznomore fuck how do you feel? To use an MN5 joke, after he has already used it, in the same thread

#gutted

[raznomore]

@mariner4life fuck!

What a boot.. Kick from halfway and the ball cleared the posts easily

[mimic]

I didn't realise that the rule changed about forcing the ball dead

[Crash]

And thats why you should take the three when they are on offer

[Crash]

NMS under the bar! Been a long time between drinks if you know what I mean...good to see
BB converts 7-6 Canes

[Crash]

Canes still a bit lazy on D

[KiwiMurph]

Beaudie's technique at chip kicking is wonderful - it aint luck it bounces up like that.

[taniwharugby]

scratchy start but they seem to be getting into thier groove now.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph another player who always seemed to get the right bounce, Goldie.

[Crash]

BB sizes up the opportunity well and a well-weighted chip is seized on by Aso who scampers 20 metres to score!
BB adds the extras 14=6 Canes

[KiwiMurph]

Yep very goldie like.

Weren't Canes supposed to be wearing their tour jerseys?

[Crash]

Rebels still able to make those cheap metres through the middle of the ruck too easily

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Oh yeah. That did the job!

[taniwharugby]

that was an awesome try!

[Crash]

BB had his kick charged from the last conversion attempt however we don't have to wait long for the next score as nice interplay between TJ and Aso sees Aso with a brace! Pretty sweet stuff. TJ definitely brings the spark. BB can't convert, but the two halves working nicely in tandem will be lethal this season. Canes with 4 tries and a BP already 24-6 Canes

[KiwiMurph]

Nisbo in midseason form already...confusing Rebels no. 8 Mafi with Rebels winger Koroibete.

Aso having a blinder.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

TJP looking incredible. I reckon you have to take him over Smith on this form.

[Crash]

Wow Aso is on fire today - a beautiful out the back door pass to Proctor and the Canes are in again!
BB conversion successful! 31-6 Canes
