Hurricanes vs Rebels

[sparky]

The Canes Tight Five really is pants.

[Machpants]

@Stargazer is pretty standard canes tho, anything but open rugby and they're fucked. Give then a good lead and they go to sleep

Ugh this has been an awful 30 mins off rugby, I want to slap the bloke who said game over!

My powers are undiminished!

Valar morghulis, Canes!

Rebels #5 hasn't been onside for about four rucks in a row.

[Donsteppa]

The Canes are playing as such a docile forward pack. Ardie Savea surrounded by seven plodders.

[Jailbreak7]

Who has stolen the Barrett bros bodies - they looked so good in the 1st half

Yeah I've been screaming at the TV!

Take the 3

[Jailbreak7]

Great we will need that in the WC

[Jailbreak7]

Nah sorry no way that was a penalty

[hydro11]

How are we second on the table? Seriously!

[Donsteppa]

Ha! Can always count on Qwade...

[Jailbreak7]

Ardie might well shake his head, half the team went MIA after half time

[hydro11]

Another point blown, really. Being up 26-0 you should be able to convert that into five points. It's really important that we get a home playoff (or maybe it doesn't matter because we aren't good enough to win the competition this year).

[Machpants]

Yeah no way we're going anywhere in the finals series, just nice to win some the way there. A tight game = a loss in the finals

[MrDenmore]

Can someone get Brad Shields on the phone?

[Stargazer]

Hopefully, the Canes have Evans back soon. He's sorely missed.

[Machpants]

@Stargazer yes but really it's our tight forwards letting us down, the scrum is a joke. Maul defence almost as bad, but at least then ardie can get in there and do all the work. Not even he is awesome enough to do the scrum himself. The defence from the backs was pretty porous too, disorganised once things got hard

[Stargazer]

@Machpants That's why it would be good if he (Ardie) can get some help from Evans.

[African Monkey]

@Machpants Exactly. Their tight 5 is pathetic. Evans is solid but their issues lie up front.

[canefan]

We canes fans should enjoy winning while we can, because we are going to be found out come playoff time
