It wasn't pretty, but a win's a win. Canes to the semis!!
Yup, much improved 2nd half. Dominated them across the park, just execution and some option taking letting us down. But we mostly kept our heads. Hopefully take some learnings from that for the semi.
Some credit to the Brumbies, they fought bloody hard and managed to keep the floodgates mostly closed with some pretty gritty defense. But as has been discussed, they are not a finals quality team this year so should not have been in this position to begin with.
Biggest highlights for me was Coles finally returning and immediately showing form, and Lealiifano getting on the field and playing well. Great stuff.

A young Chieka shows his problems began early

The Leilafano comeback is the only redeeming feature of these turds making the finals . Great to see him not only beat cancer but also play top level rugby again .

Anyone who faces up to the dirty cancer and wins deserves a round of applause

Hawera is from the jewel of the South Invercargill!
Remember Tim Manawatu who played for pretty much everyone but Manawatu?

Larkham is proud of the Brumbies' whole season. Sounds like he has pretty low standards.

They lost 13 squad members according to Bernie. That is a pretty impressive effort

Impressive 2nd half Canes.
Thought Jordie was the more impressive Barrett. Not for the first time this season.
Dane Coles is a freak.

Yeah BB was rather subdued. He's been a bit off colour for a while now. I suspect he's carrying an injury.
It's easy to forget that Jordie is only 20. Enormous potential.
I heart Coles. 3-0

I wonder if we just saw how the Bled cup will go down. Would not surprise me in the least.

I wondered the same thing.

Cheika would love this. Gives him time to add 20 players to his squad and a month to build for the 4 Nations. hey have a head start on everyone.

True, but at the end of that month he will still name a team of 15 and have no idea who his bench is until they run out.

Larkham having a good cry again at the PC. What a whinging fluffybunny. Bitched about both the Canes tries in the first half and reckons a falcon is a knock on. Whinged about the last maul at the end of the 1st half being pulled down. Also said the Brumbies were much better than the Canes in the 1st half.
The prick did the same thing after last year's quarters loss to the Highlanders as well.
Considering the draw gifted his undeserving lot a spot in the finals, this guy has got some nerve complaining about the decisions in this game.
PC if anyone is interested.
