Hurricanes v Rebels

Did the Rebels recruit that scrumhalf from the 90s?

@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah he looks like he's stuck in a time warp

IMHO JB has to be 12. He doesn't have supersonic Beauden speed but he has a brilliant pass and offload.
Having said that, how do you leave out Laumape who has just scored?
-
I wouldn't be sad if that backline started for our national team.
Awesome effort, savea looks in prime shape.
3 from smith Dagg NMS and savea is a nice headache for Hansen.
Laumape looks a lot better than 2016 version.
Get ricatelli into that AB squad. Always impresses.

You have to ask yourself if these teams are in the same competition.

Posted in wrong thread.
The rebels are rubbish so hard to say too much ...
However, this Canes team looks exceptionally well coached. Every player seems to have a clear idea of the game plan and their role in it. In particular dirt is great to all the Backs pass in front of the man running onto the ball.
-
Would suggest that Rebels Coach Tony McGahan is about to "get the full backing of the board" if these results continue.
And with the Chiefs next, there is every chance they will. At least they'll have the Tahs to face in a couple of weeks.
As for the Canes - someone posted a stat that the first two rounds of last year weren't as fluffy as this. So its a question of consistency from there.

What? A pro team beating on a special school's first XV?
The last two weeks are a disgraceful look for the competition.

The Rebels defence was so passive. You can't give TJP 10m of space to run into off every scrum, ruck, line out and maul...

20 years ago I sat in the stands at Athletic Park as a kid and watched the Hurricanes put 60 points on teams on consecutive weekends. Highlanders and OFS I think.
I don't know what my point is but I guess it's not totally unprecedented.
One thing I will say is that playing an inexperienced 20 year old kid at THP is a very bad idea. It's a bad sign for Australian rugby when they don't have enough senior level props.

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

Let's wait until he plays in a game that isn't a glorified training run before we pass judgment
