Hurricanes v Stormers
-
For reference Folau's strike rate is 0.624 (58 tries from 93 games). Very impressive - though the conference system and being in the Aus conference has no doubt helped Izzzy in those stats
@KiwiMurph wow, that is really good. Would be really interesting to see if most of those are v Oz teams, or if he's been good all-round.
At the risk of switching codes Manu Vatuvei had a gnarly record before his form faltered in later years. I think he had 10 successive years of scoring 10 or more tries? only guy to have achieved that? and for quite a few season he was in the high teens. Just did a quick calculation off his wiki info and his rate is .67 (226 games and 152 tries). That is bloody good in such a tough comp.

@Canes4life that's a mental stat aye! Esp for an inside back. Loooove it!

@Paekakboyz
It is very good, though I think he has slight hungus tendencies.
Not Masaga level though. -
@Frank there can only be one hungus!! unless we talk league and add Kata to the mix lol

@Paekakboyz It has been against teams across the board. I can think of a number of runs / tries that he has scored against the likes of the Blues/Crusaders/Highlanders where he has run over the first line of defence and if not scoring himself he has also set up a number of tries aswell. A player on the rise that's for sure.

Big Eben has been ruled out of tomorrow with concussion. Big plus for the Canes and their undersized locking pair.
-
Yikes. It’s all Stormers - mauling away for a penalty and the Canes look like they’re in trouble up front. Who’d have thought?

Good example of a friendly commentary team, Nisbo and Cullen both like the Canes and will be positive.
We get TJ poking needles in a voodo doll in a Blues jersey.

If you don't like the tv commentary, you can switch that off and listen to the ref only or listen to the radio commentary. They're almost always locals. I do it all the time.
