Hurricanes v Highlanders
-
Excellent stuff. Landers out of puff. Could blow out now.
-
Landers lacking cohesion and combinations. Canes just too good for us as we are at the moment. But a decent effort and some good game time for some lacking experience.
Canes look sharp and building nicely
-
Marty Banks' defence has been questionable in this game. Easily stepped twice leading to two tries.
-
Did the Highlanders lose Osborne?
-
@taniwharugby No, don't think so. He played for the Dev Team two weeks ago.
@Stargazer been injured or dropped behind Li?

@taniwharugby patrick osbourne on the very popular injury list
-
That's BFAs fault...had he passed up the other end Li probably woulda scored
-
Dammit boychild. You had a Barrett outside you.
Still not sure about this guy.
@Rancid-Schnitzel Nope, neither am I. Think he should go to the Blues. Falcon may be more worth keeping in the Canes frame. Promising young lad, but very young still. Can't wait seeing him play for the NZ U20s.

Highlanders injury toll making an impact.

It really is... but our bench is getting a good run
and canes were still very goodUnavailable due to injury: Liam Squire, Shane Christie, Ash Dixon, Dan Pryor, Greg Pleasants-Tate, Lima Sopoaga, Waisake Naholo, Alex Ainley, Adrian Smith, Josh Dickson, James Lentjes, Siosuia Halanukonuka, Patrick Osborne
(Out for the season: Jason Emery, Hayden Parker

Well Li was a good buy. How much did the hurricanes pay for him? What a fucking one man wrecking ball. Half the highlanders ended up spending half their time covering his fuck ups and so looked average. Even BFA chose to completely ignore him and go himself for the try due to not trusting Li to catch the ball and run 10m untouched without fucking up.
Good to see Faddes and Buckman back in a little bit of form even if underdone.
Canes awesome. The talked about Shields had an excellent game...shat on Dixon.
-
Entertaining game. Obviously happy with the bounce back win for the Canes but my second team Landers played a great game with all of their injuries. That Jordie is a chip off the old block eh? Shifty feet, measured cross kick to set up a try, some great passing. Everyone showed up and we won well

Fair call.. but a couple weeks back it was red all day
Nope. He was going for the ball. Red would have been ridiculous.
Nice try to Dixon.

These rules are going to swing a few matches this season, the current interpretation is terrible
