Super Rugby pre-season matches

[Tim]

West just shoveling it on so it's impossible to get a read on him. <br><br>
Ranger looks slow. Blues scrum is good. Moala with his expected power.

[Bovidae]

<p>Marshall still can't throw into the lineout - I hope Hika is fit to go next week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An even game so far.  The Blues have had more territory but too many handling errors while on attack, from Luatua especially.</p>

[Bovidae]

<p>55-7 to the Canes over the Saders at the moment.</p>

<p>Is that a typo?</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Not a typo according to Canes twitter - 55-7.</p>

Excellent presence of mind gives Hall a try - although I think that rule should be changed.

[Tim]

Well that's some bullshit.

[gt12]

Yeah, stupid to take that chance.

<p>What happened? Is Kaino any risk of being suspended?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Final score Hurricanes 74 - Crusaders 7.</p>

<p>Wow, was that the Crusaders U21 team?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know its only pre-season, but that is a poor scoreline...will Toddy find some positive spin on it?</p>

Red card for punching Manu in a mess around as he was stuck in a maul.<br><br>
I don't think there'll be more action.

[Tim]

Man, "Scotty" Stevenson sure loves those Chiefs...

Sickening.

[gt12]

He certainly loves Bardoul.

[Tim]

Man, he is emotional out there.

[Tim]

Bryn Hall was rather slow to the rucks. Speed to the ruck and quick passing were his hallmarks (no pun intended). <br><br>
Looks like 9 & 10 will be our big concerns, as always.

[Stargazer]

<p>Half time: Highlanders 20 - 21 Waratahs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Highlanders tries both scored by Fekitoa</p>
<p>Waratahs tries by Hooper, Horne and Polota-Nau</p>

[Tim]

Is there a stream of that game?

[Stargazer]

<p>Which clown has configured the Fern in such a way that the name H o o p e r changes into Hoopah? </p>
