<p>On paper a walk in the park for the Canes so I am picking the blues by 1 and hope the Canes of old team turns up :)</p>

<p>A good old Hurricanes/Wellington choke would be great, although that usually happens in the finals </p>

<p>Pretty weak side. No Michael Little which is interesting. Hopefully Gibson gets on the field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blues will do well to get a losing bonus point out of this I think. </p>

<p>Yeah doesn't look great for us. Can't see us winning another game this year to be honest.</p>

<p>Perhaps he found it again?</p>

[Nepia]

<p>Game has kicked off! No Blues and Canes fans around at the moment?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Barrett about to kick first penalty of the match from about 35m out. And it's over.</p>

[Nepia]

<p>3-3 after Francis kicks a penalty, not sure why West isn't kicking.</p>

[African Monkey]

<p>Lol probably our best 10 mins of rugby in 5 years.</p>

[Nepia]

<p>Blues in for a try to Kara Pryor. Lot of running in this match already. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Canes have missed 7 tackles already in this match.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>10-3.</p>

<p>Because Francis has to be good at one thing - its not tackling or running</p>

[kiwiinmelb]

Blues been quite impressive with ball in hand

[Stargazer]

<p>Commentators say that JTA possibly has a broken fore arm.</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Glad Jane has finally had a haircut. Looks like a rugby player again and not some poofy soccer player.<br><br>
Blues looking very sharp tonight.

<p>He's improved massively - which is surprising.  Even slipped a tackle already tongiht</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Goodes scores the try, but full credit to James Marshall. Great run.</p>

[Nepia]

<p>Credit to Eves as well who made the initial bust.</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Nice to get a try, but some mega hungus stuff by the forwards there. It's not like they have no weapons in the backs.

[Nepia]

<p>Blues in again - Kaino barrels over off a lineout maul, Barrett makes a valiant attempt to stop him.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

Tuipoluto easily beaten by Marshall and then in poor body position to tackle Goodes.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Luatua is having a great game. <br><br>
Bugger. Kaino in. Bit of a mismatch with BB there!

[Stockcar86]

<p>I picked Canes and even I think that was a knock on by Eves</p>
