Hurricanes v Blues

[nzzp]

Even if the Blues don't win from here, they have shown a lot of real grit and determination in the first 50 minutes. Really resilient, some good play - these boys are light years ahead of previous years.

If we lose from here it's all mental. But no matter what, they are improved. Just getting it out there wtih 10 to go.

You can’t fault the Blues for winning this game, but the Canes should be fucking ropable with the discipline of their players.

Otera Black’s kicking has been crucial, he’s been very good with the boot the last two weeks.

Good decision by the ref.

Penalty try and a card .

Well done canes , finding new ways to lose since ages ago

No argument there that was a Deadset Yellowcard. Totally understand a penalty try too

There’s a bonus point up for grabs here!

Barrett has been pretty average tonight. Doesn't look like an All Black.

Clear penalty try.

Canes are all effort and no thought...

[taniwharugby]

I think it should be YC or PT, dont agree with both in that situation.

Hurricanes discipline all over the place today. Threw away a winnable game. Bugger it!

The senior players/leadership group need a long hard think about the situation.

Congratulations too the Blues, enjoy!

Brainless

Can’t argue with that - just one more example of my point.

The Canes are in big trouble going forward - I think the Blues could be a sleeper for a deep finals run with Barrett back.

I agree in theory - but that is the way it's ruled

[nzzp]

You can't argue with any of the cards, either. They are dead set clear cut.

[kev]

Brainless kicking by Blues.

Like The Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz.

All heart, no brain.

[antipodean]

This result brought to you by the Blues' defence and the Canes' temperament.

Both from their leaders.
