Hurricanes v Drua

[get stuffed]

Hope Franks & Coles can get through 20-30 minutes off the bench without injury... if they can stay fit going into the latter part of the comp it will be a big plus for the Canes.

Be interesting to see how Laubscher goes at 8.

This is a very lightweight loose forward trio. The intent is probably to counter the speedy Drua backline.

[Stargazer]

Anyone else thinks an upset is possible in this game? I'm not confident at all that the Canes will win this.

[Mattasaurus]

@Stargazer I feel $5 to win and $7 for 1 - 12 for Drua is generous

Great D by the Drua

[chimoaus]

Lomax been isolated twice already.

And again

[Mattasaurus]

Canes need to change the angle of attack one in a while...

Good D from Drura too.

[Toddy]

@chimoaus Really poor clear out by Numia and IWL

[Mattasaurus]

High tackle missed there was it?

[chimoaus]

The no look behind passes have gone to nobody far too often by NZ teams lately.

[Stargazer]

@Mattasaurus Penalty given.

[chimoaus]

47 tackles to 4 at moment, Drua making a lot of tackles early.

[chimoaus]

Hurricanes offside a few times there on D which was missed.

[Toddy]

Do the NH refs let not straight throws go like they do in Super rugby?

I was wondering about that last night too..

Also do they let the defensive lines stand offside all the time?

I don't mind them letting the marginal ones go if it was uncontested. Only call it if the opposition is disadvantaged by the throw IMO.

[Steven Harris]

Tyler Laubsher going well in his first start

[chimoaus]

Beautiful line by Sullivan and Moorby.

[Stargazer]

Kicking to a midget like Wes Goosen (who's marked by a much bigger opponent) makes just as much sense a kicking to Mitch Hunt in the Highlanders game.

Great try to Moorby.
