Hurricanes v Blues

[junior]

I am always baffled by teams who run the ball in their 22m zone and take contact right in front of their sticks...

[antipodean]

Is Blake Gibson actually playing or just running water?

[Steven Harris]

That is so the Blues, plenty of time for the catcher to find kicker for the exit, but let’s just try and move the ball inside your own 22 , and give a penalty away..dumb tactics

This. He has been anonymous.

My Aussie wife who knows nothing about rugby said, there’s that guy that looks like he hasn’t had any sleep

Man those Blues are set deep

Another TJ turn over. All too wear out the blues, back from SA

[jegga]

15 phases .

[antipodean]

That's harsh against Eklund. First time the ref has looked at anyone coming from the side. Why wouldn't you think you could do it if everyone else is?

Yep, I liked it. PLenty of varying the attack too, got people turning right and left. If we'd had our share of ball, woudl have been interesting.

That last penalty was interesting. Very quickly blown. Ah well, I'm stoked to be wtihin 1 at half time, particularly given how much defending we've done

[Bovidae]

Fraser is taking the piss with his policing of the breakdown. Evans, in particular, could have been pinged numerous times.

[Steven Harris]

@antipodean well said , so many side entries that are not getting picked up..and yet the Aussie teams were getting crucified for the same tactic..just saying..!

[KiwiMurph]

Another very solid half by Nock.

[Tim]

Crazy stuff from Perenara at the end.

Two turn overs already.

Would make a better 7 than Gibson.

[Steven Harris]

Never thought I would hear myself say this, but the Blues may need James Parsons to come on at least for his lineout throwing ability ...

[Machpants]

Pat T been great, which is so good for ABs

[Machpants]

More dumb shit from canes, put them under pressure then let them off with stupidity
