Highlanders v Hurricanes

[sparky]

The Hurricanes are just 3/8 from their lineout tonight. Really poor.

Another tight game from these two. Another win after 80mins coming up?

No, the Hurricanes are already in front. (Maybe if there is another Cones throw to a lineout then perhaps????)

Well, the NZ conference is

Crusaders

Daylight

Blues/Landers/Canes

Little bit of daylight

Chiefs.

Makes for fun watching in the neutral games.

[Kirwan]

Was just thinking the Canes don’t have the forward pack to play one off

Start Fakatava with anyone but Banks and it may well have been a different game.

That guy playing for the Sunwolves is an Otago boy, yeah?

I'd like to see Fakatava start with Josh Ioane.

You can see why World Rugby don't want Jackson to ref at the World Cup.

Clan will fuck this.

Yep!

[antipodean]

He could've binned a number of Canes forwards there. One more and it should be a penalty try.

[Stargazer]

Wow, what a game!

[Kirwan]

How did the Clan lose this?

Very astute!

I picked the Hurricanes, but spent most of the game regretting it. Luckily we can count on the Highlanders even turning down a a draw three times.

Marty Banks.

Marty Banks.

And Ardie Savea

[Hooroo]

That was a hell of a last 20!!!

[Steven Harris]

Players of the day for the Canes Ardie Savea & Marty Banks

[sparky]

Ardie Savea absolutely outstanding. A lot needs to be fixed about the Hurricanes team, especially the lineout. But pleased for the win.

[Higgins]

And that is why you take the gift three points, a draw is waaaaaaay better than a possible win/probable loss in my books

[Yeetyaah]

Multis fucked after the first game. Average game. Last 15ish was decent. Canes handling is ass. Banks was average. Fakatava looks promising.
