Hurricanes vs Waratahs

[Machpants]

Sullivan a bit rucks and diamonds but first start so not surprised

[Machpants]

Need to calm down, and straighten up a bit on attack.

Defence was good tho

[Canes4life]

One thing I’ll be saying as Laidlaw will be ‘earn the right’. Go a few more phases before throwing it wide. Trying to attack every time we get the ball.

I like seeing Aussie teams being smashed off the park by NZ teams as much as the next man… but gee super rugby is a boring, predictable competition.

Wouldn’t it be great to see 5 high quality, competitive games of rugby each week. Hell I’d even settle for one blowout a week and take 4 good games.

You mean like last week where Canes got beat by Brumbies, Force losing by 1 point and Reds losing after the final hooter?

Yep something like that every week would be good. These blowouts are boring

No rugby comp does that, it's a factor of the game in the pro era.

Tahs fans on X are not having a good time

[KiwiMurph]

I know Tahs have a cattle problem but I think this is Chris Whittaker's 6th season as a Tahs assistant coach and Tahs have been mostly terrible during that whole period.

Seems like it's a microcosm for Aus Rugby problems. Rather than a coaching pathway a well known player gets a cushy gig.

I think Crusader fans would disagree with the predictable part of your post.

At the risk of repetition, this year has been great.

It’s been nothing but predictable for the most part this year. Have you even been watching Super Rugby?

Aussies just need to get better playing away.

I think that is a symptom of scoring 4 pretty easy tries. It is natural to think that everything is too easy and forget the basics.

[Canes4life]

Smart taking Lomax off, keep him fresh for next week.

[Machpants]

Lol that tahs line out was Nigel Owens

[Machpants]

Obviously coaches did not listen to the coaches at half time!

[Damo]

First receiver for the Canes after that scrum was clearly offside. Both teams need to be back 5m until the ball is out. He was running well before it was out.

It is an overlooked thing that is unfair to the defensive team.

[Canes4life]

Fuck sake. Get it straight son.

[Canes4life]

Get Judd off, just stares at the ball for about half an hour before deciding to pass. He’s killing all our momentum.

[Machpants]

Hold onto the ball ffs

[Canes4life]

Sullivan is not a safe pair of hands is he. Jeez he’s erratic.

[BerhamporeNinja]

Big Ben in for a Big Ben pie

[Machpants]

Have not scored for 30 mins, just so bloody lacking in patience. 25 mins of awesome, half an hour of rubbish. Just a lucky bounce for that try
