Hurricanes v Sharks

[Machpants]

Yeah West is awful, what on earth are his kick off's trying to achieve?

[Stargazer]

@hydro11 He was involved in both Canes' tries. Made a try saving tackle before other Canes' players let them in. He's not that bad at all.

Is it compulsory to defend like mud vs the Sharks?

Sharks are missing a higher percentage of tackles though according to espn - they have just only had to make half as much.

[KiwiJoker]

Big men running straight, the Sharks game plan is simple

[Bovidae]

No comment on JB's defence, or lack of it, for the Sharks first try?

[Stargazer]

@bovidae No, some prefer to blame West for everything.

He's been terrible. The 2nd and 3rd tries to the Sharks were scored after two terrible kicks from West. West is a massive reason why we have only had 26% territory and 36% possession. When the Sharks have kicked it has been accurate and a contest for possession. The Sharks have read the short kicks very well. West offers no direction.

[Stargazer]

@hydro11 He made a few bad kicks, but apart from that he's been fine. It's the ball handling and defence of his team mates that's letting them down.

Sharks and Hurricanes have made about the same amount of errors.

[hydro11]

We start with our kick off and we are already back in our half.

[Gunner]

Canes start the second half the same way most of the first half went - on the back foot.

[hydro11]

Sharks have let us off the hook a bit in this half.

[MajorPom]

The sharks are farking massive.

Canes only hope is they tire.

[Stockcar86]

How the fuck were the Sharks forwards not offside at that lineout - they can't advance until the catcher hits the ground or releases the ball

[MajorPom]

Anybody who doubts Barrett look at the difference int he backline organisation in this game vs last week against the Rebels. It's like it's a different team.

[hydro11]

Bloody hell Booth.

[hydro11]

Let's not do maul.

[Gunner]

Gotta go for the corner, the way this game has gone they might not get back down the sharks end again....

[MajorPom]

Jodie looks completely lost without his big brother.

No idea how the Canes are within 5

Ditto.
It feels like the only team that’s been playing tonight is the Shorks
