Hurricanes v Chiefs

[dingo]

<p>BB is awesome.  Try.<span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">lower/eastern/western north island awesomeness (and NZ factory of first fives)</span></p>

[No Quarter]

Beauden "DC" Barrett is the new AB 10.

Fucking Chiefs, look before you pass!! Sam Cane with Kerr Barlow disease.

[Mattasaurus]

Can the Chiefs come back from here...I'm not so sure...

<p>Farken Beaudy! </p>

Can't see it. Outside of a slight advantage in tight forwards, so far I can't see any way of scoring at least two tries while not conceding any more... We're an odd mix of ponderous and panicky.

Most of that is due to the Canes just being better. They've ridden their luck on D but kept us out, and then their chances.<br><br>
They look like Super rugby champions.

Lovely kick from DMac.

[Mattasaurus]

Chiefs needed that badly

[taniwharugby]

<p>Think Hansen needs to sub BB off now  </p>

[Frank]

<p>Chiefs scrum much better.</p>

[Siam]

Good god this is fun to watch.<br><br>
A splendid curtain raiser for the big one later

[Billy Tell]

<p>Cruden's level has not dropped.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But Road Runner Barrett has just shot past him.  I don't think it's even debatable that Barrett should start for NZ, and I will consider it a black mark against Hansen if he goes with Cruden.  So it then becomes Sopoaga vs Cruden...vs McKenzie for the bench role.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, Sam Cane, dreadful telegraphed pass.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chiefs need to score first after the break.</p>

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

<p>All that effort from the Chiefs over 15 minutes or more for no reward and then the Hurricanes come out of the box like One the Red with Saveaâ€s clever feinting run over 50 odd metres – thatâ€s debilitating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I say Cane should have taken the 3 points at the outset of that period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Steve Hansen has himself a couple of fairly able No 7s on show out there tonight.</p>

<p>I see what you are doing there, Jinxy jinxer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I match your Jinx with pointing out how many of the first choice 'canes are injured (JTA, Goodes, Coles, NMS etc.) so the canes are playing their reserve bench so the chiefs will come home with a wet sail when the reserves run on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>C'mon the <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">lower/eastern/western north island awesomeness!!!!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>PS enjoying the game despite the unmentionable valley (rhymes with "pokes") white trash relatives all lwanting to turn up (to 11) loud trash metal while wearing their black t-shits over thier thin tattooed white thrash bodies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does anyone know what a deadlift is hear?</p>

[No Quarter]

Very good 1st 40 for the Canes. A couple of BB specials in amongst some body on the line defense. Very impressed with the way Ricitelli has stood up in Coles absence. Has a big big future that kid.

You are, of course, the only team with an injury list...

<p>Yep, RR has looked damn good out there, Canes barely missing a beat without Coles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But gotta give it to BB, that man has made the game his the past few weeks.</p>

[Rembrandt]

That yellow 9 looks the goods, recent signing? Imagine if we had him all season

[Tim]

<p>I don't see what TKB offers on attack.</p>
