Hurricanes v Drua
-
Canes totally dominated things today, Drua barely fired a shot unfortunately.
-
This game is just as a meaningless training run as the Blues v Rebels game. Not the Canes' (and Blues') fault, but this game just doesn't tell you much about players and where they're at. Handy for the 5 competition points and to give players lower in the pecking order a run, but that's about it. Excitement level is low.

-
Dane Coles takes the field and all of a sudden the Canes don't suck. Coincidence?
-
Good win by the Canes without Ardie and Jordie. Only the Drua so it will be great to see this against the Tahs next week in Aus.
-
@Stargazer yeah he’ll be a bit sheepish but no doubt he will play plenty of minutes for the Canes in the future.
Player of the match for me was Aiden Morgan. Just needs to clean up his conversions.
-
@Canes4life For me, the clear stand-outs were Laubscher and Moorby.
-
@Stargazer they were both brilliant aswell.
I just felt Morgan ran things really well, defs needs to be our 10 going into the back end of the season.
Hopefully Love can come back onto the bench.
Certainly some selection headaches in that backline going forward.

Drua were terrible. Expected a lot more from them.

Think it was a hangover from the highs of playing first home game last week. Though as a Canes' man I happy.

Brumbies, Crusaders and Blues will get a home playoff, you would think. Hurricanes, Reds, Waratahs and Chiefs are fighting for 4th. Hurricanes probably still need to win all remaining games.

Hurricanes
Xavier Numia, Asafo Aumua, Tyrel Lomax, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Justin Sangster, Blake Gibson, Du'Plessis Kirifi, Tyler Laubscher, TJ Perenara, Aidan Morgan, Salesi Rayasi, Billy Proctor, Bailyn Sullivan, Wes Goosen, Josh Moorby
Reserves: Dane Coles, Tevita Mafileo, Owen Franks/Pasi Tosi, Caleb Delany, TK Howden, Cam Roigard, Jackson Garden-Bachop, Riley Higgens
Wouldn’t it be something if he scored a try off the bench
Man, he was so close to getting one today!
Drua failed to read any of the Canes set piece. A training run at best for the Canes.

@hydro11 I’ve done the math and I think we will end up at 5 meaning we play the Chiefs in Hamilton in the quarter final. This is all assuming we win the rest of our games, the Reds lose to the Blues and Crusaders, the Waratahs obviously lose to us next week, and the Chiefs win all their remaining games.

Nope, the unflushables will be back next week, and we'll choke Vs Tahs
-
@Machpants you’re right, Prinsep, Blackwell and Garden-Bachop will have to start next week. We played too well today, it must have made Holland uncomfortable.

So Franks isn't very good eh? Best hope is to displace Laulala but prolly not gonna do that by going backwards in the scrum, walking around the field and dropping as soon as he gets the ball.
Give him a break it was his first game in ages, he’s very old and he was never dynamic to start with
