Highlanders v Hurricanes

[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.

[Canerbry]

Yeah, nah sorry Marty Banks. Nice game for a neutral, I mean go the Highlanders but I picked the Canes 1-8 to keep it interesting, some spastic play but some amazing individual efforts too.

If A. Savea was any good over the ball on the ground he'd be a great.

[Machpants]

Ardie is greater than the sum of the rest of the forward pack. Still needs to prove it against a pack like the saders tho

Marty Banks.

And Ardie Savea

Yes he was superb tonight.

[Canes4life]

@antipodean He's been superb all season but that Bye will be a big relief. I think a lot of our All Blacks will be held back the week after aswell when they travel to the Sunwolves. So two weeks off for Ardie I would think.

Massive win for our season as I think the likes of Smith, Cridge, Evans, Coles, Skudder, Marshall etc will return after the bye/Sunwolves game so that experience will be a big boost.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life The Canes really missed Coles and Evans.

[African Monkey]

@Machpants To be fair to him it's pretty hard when he's playing on his own most of the time.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer Yup can't wait to have them two back. That last two showed what we can do with a bigger pack. And Toby Smith is such an anchor for us aswell.

If we lost, you would say the same thing. We had three opportunities in the last 5 minutes to shut the game down and couldn't do.

Who was better - Frizell or Fifita ?

[Stargazer]

@Frank IMO, clearly Frizell

Frizell.

What an entertaining game as a neutral. Frantic but exciting.

Ardie is a machine.

[Rembrandt]

Best game I've seen this year. Shame they are duking it out for a distant 2nd in the conference.

@Canes4life said in Highlanders v Hurricanes:

Ardie is insane. Imagine if he was in the Crusaders.

He’d provide a good backup to Matt Todd
