Beauden Barrett has been pulled from the line-up and Ihaia West will start. JGB comes onto the bench.

I thought it would be a easy win for the Canes. now I'm not sure with the poor tackling West starting. And coaches who seem to have a blind spot with him

[Gunner]

What’s up with the fluro yellow on the Canes jerseys?

Just turned on. Hate it when that happens. Bugger.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

May not need him!

[Higgins]

The Hurricanes management making a pointed statement on where they rank Hawkes Bay in their estimation. Playing in their away jerseys says it all. Hang your heads in shame, stop your pretense about being representatives of a wide area once and for all. No longer do you deserve any support from the outlining areas of the supposed Hurricanes catchment area after tonight's embarrassing faux pax (or was it?) Play your supposed home games in your effing home jersey ffs.

[Stargazer]

That was an awesome offload from West to Laumape. Great try! West converts and it's 12 - 3 to the good guys.

Difference between SA and NZ. Sharks hold ball but simple trying to run over you while JTA side steps into space then West into space for offload and try.

Anyone worried Shields will play for England..?

[Stargazer]

That's a try.

Not after that tackling effort

[Gunner]

Canes defence is fucking leaky.

Sort it out!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Pathetic defence. Christ that was the future England no. 6.

[Stargazer]

Whether the ball was grounded for that second Sharks try is debatable.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Wtf Canes? That is piss weak.

[Stargazer]

He had already released the ball before going into touch, dammit! AR couldn't see that, but the ref could!

[Stargazer]

Great kick from West leads to a end-to-end try from Aso! Yussss.

[antipodean]

Shields showing his range of skills again.

To be fair those kicks are coming down with snow on them.

[Gunner]

Canes defence just awful.

They might be re-thinking giving away a home game to Napier......

Savea had been caught out wide three times already, two tries, one penalty.

tackling is abysmal, very blues like
