Jaguares v Hurricanes

Stargazer

Is Christie injured? Can't understand why they have picked Booth over him.

I think he got injured during the Brisbane 10s.

That's more like it. The selections for the first game were a disaster. So the loss might not be such a bad thing as the coaches collectively completely lost the plot last week. Not only with selections but also replacements. Hopefully they have now righted this

Although Savea (J) must be on his last chance. He just made up the numbers last week. And Lam needs to show he's up to this level. He's fast but not much more. And hopefully JGB steps up. I don't want to see West on the field again this year. He's a great example of everything that was wrong with the Canes in the past.

He did. after reports that he was one Canes player that really stepped up

In fairness Booth had an awesome Brisbane 10s too

Stargazer

Line-outs are shit so far in this game. That was a horrible throw from Riccitelli.

Stargazer

Good try from Lam, but all the work was done by Evans, who made a great break.

Stargazer

Laumape bulldozes over. Hurricanes lead 12-3.

Gareth Evans is one of the best players on the field.

MajorPom

Canes playing canes rugby ... they will be intercepted soon for sure.

Jags discipline is woeful with the canes not far behind ... ball security is terrible as well.

Laumape owning it so far

MajorPom

Fark me both sides chucking it around ... canes are going for tries in every single play, regardless of field position

MajorPom

Julian Savea is currently a 1/10 rating ... woeful

pukunui

J Savea is looking like that mate who fills in when you are short of numbers for a club cricket game. Can't bowl, can barely hold a bat and couldn't catch a beach ball.
Crazy the cliff he has fallen off from being the best winger in the world.

Stargazer

They should just ditch Julian. Aso to the right wing and finally Lowe to the bench. Lowe not getting a single opportunity is driving me mad. This was a game to introduce him to SR.

MajorPom

At what fucking point are the canes going to realize that you need to get points.

Tits for hands, woeful ball rentention, woeful discipline. Such a frustrating game to watch

Stargazer

If the Canes play like this next week, they will be crushed even by an injury stricken Crusaders team. Don't know what's wrong with the Canes but they're not looking good.

Now Aso on for Jordie. Hope that was a planned sub and not an injury.

Stargazer

Finally, the bus gets into a higher gear and Proctor scores a try.

MajorPom

And Julian savea busts 5 tackles and sets up a try ....

Fair play!!

I’ve just switched the TV on to see him in beast mode creating that try.
Hopefully he keeps up that kind of form rather than the form you mentioned...

Stargazer

Ben May, you tool! So stupid, completely unnecessary yellow.

Stargazer

Aso: That's mine;
Proctor: No, that's mine.
Aso: MINE!

Stargazer

Fatialofa is on for Fifita.
