Hurricanes vs Blues

@antipodean It's our 2nd string tight 5 to be fair.

[sparky]

Good game this. The Hurricanes ahead by ten at the break, but I'm still nervous.

[African Monkey]

Ta'avao and Lay need to come on to hold up the scrum.

[antipodean]

Papali'i lucky not to be carded there. Deliberately interfered with the ball on the wrong side of the ruck.

[Winger]

Lakai is having an outstanding game

Blues definitely missing their better locks to be sure.

Yeah wasn't just a knock on, but ref missed it

I don't mind the ref missing it, but that's in front of the AR.

@Winger He's strong in contact. I like him.

[Winger]

Canes should be further ahead

Cameron is a frustrating player to watch. Some VG play but can have games where there's too much of ordinary or poor

Unfortunately for the Blues the 6:2 split has backfired so far.

Funaki and Telea are regularly swapping positions so Funaki is usually on the blindside wing.

There are a bunch of very ordinary 10s in NZ aren't there?

With Roigard, Ratima, Viljoen and Fakatava a steady pair of hands and a good boot is all you need

[Canes4life]

Starting to rain now. Could be a dog fight in the second half.

[Jailbreak7]

Fish! & CJ!!

Weird to think they're both more coherent than the interviewer

Yeah struggling to understand what the thinking was behind the 6/2 split.

[Winger]

Roigard

[mariner4life]

Great try, but that was knocked on

[Machpants]

Jeez imagine having that from 21 in a RWC final

[African Monkey]

@Jailbreak7 A gamble that didn't come off, that's all, a lot of teams do it.

Hmmm could get ugly this.
