Highlanders v Hurricanes

Hurricanes player ratings:
Against a bigger Chiefs pack next week I would probably switch Iose for Howden.
I would definitely bring either Sullivan or Naholo in for J Savea, his name was mentioned probably only twice last night.
Three best players for me last night from a Canes lense were Roigard, Kirifi and Proctor.
From a Highlanders POV Thomas Jmaga-Jensen was outstanding, and I thought Harmon and Renton were very solid.

Used to be, that's not niggle though, that's just being a dick. I'd be embarrassed if any of my teammates acted like that.

Not sure what Foster has to do with it. But anyway.....
I mentioned that I thought Roigard should be included in the ABs on his current form and hoped the coaches would handle him as successfully as they did Taukei'aho and we ended up with good options at 2 - one of the few successes in the last year or so.
Some people then disagreed on the basis Cody Taylor is/was a shit hooker and Foster picked him against Ireland. I think.

Ok mate, I still a bit confused about it coming into how Blackwell went, but it's all good .
I gave that with a caveat, I pretty easy to confuse anyway.:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: -

Lol I've seen a lot worse than that from Colesy. I watched a club game between Poneke and Petone where he rubbed a guys face into the dirt after he smashed him in a tackle. Dane Coles will always be a pest.

Agree. If Gilbert had stayed down and feigned injury Coles could have spent a bit of time on the sideline. Off the ball crap that may have been direct contact to the head.

By using what could have been a forearm to the head. He may have been provoked but it's a risk to react the way he did nowadays.

I thought the Canes as a whole targeted Renton a fair bit with niggle too, not just Coles. While Renton played a good game the niggle worked to the extent where the ref noticed Renton getting agitated and told him to settle. Ref would have been watching Renton after that.

I have watched that five or six times and I have no idea what you’re seeing as grabbing his leg
-
Right, pretty down on the season already so not really surprised
Harmon, TUJ, de groot and ainsley all very good
Was happy with millar and disappointed with his injury
That’s pretty much it though, frizell very quiet, our wings never do anything because we never get them the ball…and won’t even comment of paea, Gregory etc
First time I’ve actually watched out for roigard, after seeing all the chat, he’s great, get him in there
One of the biggest things the canes seems to bring is the post contact “energy” everyone take their hit and then twists and turns, worst case they get another meter and put the tacklers in an offside position, best case they break the tackle, it was impressive…crossed the line a couple of times I think with a few rolls or crawls but generally really good
I also think proctor at 13 was very impressive, always looks to get outside and feed his wings
The only one I have a question mark about was Morgan…looks very hunt like…but not as good which is saying something

@Kiwiwomble Morgan was quiet yesterday, but in your return with that team around you...he played it perfectly. He's elventy million times better than Hunt, who in the same situation would have danced a few jigs into the back of Moorby and maybe a pass or two to the opposition.

@Kiwiwomble Paea looks like a wing covering center. He completely ignores his wings and TUJ was covering a fair bit of his defensive duties at times. The sooner Timu is back the better I think.

Have we gone soft here or are you just protective because he’s a Highlander. Dane Coles hits the kid hard and gives him a shove, who bloody cares. I’ve seen far worse off the ball shit over the years.
Dickhead or not that sort of behaviour isn’t new to rugby. I think Gilbert will get over it.

The point is it's stupid. Imagine Gilbert stayed down and it was reviewed in slow motion. He may or may not have been sent to the naughty boy chair. Are you happy to risk that as a Hurricane supporter? I'd hate to think how that would have gone down if he did that at Twickenham or Ellis Park in a Black jumper.

@Crazy-Horse this incident is similar to so many other incidents I’ve seen throughout the years which is why I’m struggling to see what all the fuss is about. You see dickhead behaviour like that in most games which is probably why they didn’t touch on it any further during the game. To me it’s just typical Coles behaviour. Should he act like that? Probably not. Is he a dickhead sometimes? Yes. But it’s still not new to rugby. Players do that shit all the time, and they will continue to do it in years to come. Move on I’d say, there are plenty of hot heads out there.
UPDATE: alright, I’ve watched this on a bigger screen and I see he’s clocked him in the head. My initial viewing of the incident was off a small screen so thought it was general niggle and just Coles playing ‘how’s your father’.
Fair play, anything that makes contact with the head is uncalled for so yes Coles was probably lucky this wasn’t reviewed during the match.

Yeah that's it, I'm soft because I called out dickhead behaviour...oh wait you then go on to call it dickhead too, you soft fluffybunny you.
If anyone does/did that for my team, I'd be cringing. It's not clever, it's not niggle, it's the weekend warrior type shit you see from thugs on Saturday who aren't interested in playing rugby.
It's just dumb and he should be better.

@Crazy-Horse this incident is similar to so many other incidents I’ve seen throughout the years which is why I’m struggling to see what all the fuss is about. You see dickhead behaviour like that in most games which is probably why they didn’t touch on it any further during the game. To me it’s just typical Coles behaviour. Should he act like that? Probably not. Is he a dickhead sometimes? Yes. But it’s still not new to rugby. Players do that shit all the time, and they will continue to do it in years to come. Move on I’d say, there are plenty of hot heads out there.
UPDATE: alright, I’ve watched this on a bigger screen and I see he’s clocked him in the head. My initial viewing of the incident was off a small screen so thought it was general niggle and just Coles playing ‘how’s your father’.
Fair play, anything that makes contact with the head is uncalled for so yes Coles was probably lucky this wasn’t reviewed during the match.
