So many side entries by Crusader players into the rucks being missed by the ref… I have no idea how he isn’t seeing those
he's letting a lot go at the rucks.... particularly for the attacking team
Canes could work this out and adjust.
Could get ugly otherwise.
Already is

Hurricanes haven’t come out of the sheds tonight. Naholo looks gassed.
We need to get the bloody ball back.
A different attitude needed in the second half. Canes will definitely come out better.
-
Canes remind me of a comment someone made about Warren Gatland’s sides. Can only compete when they’re bigger than the opposition
-
@antipodean you mean by attacking more

I don't know why, he's doing fuck all of benefit.

I think it will if the Crusaders score first in the 2nd half.

Canes just aren’t urgent enough. Far too much ball watching by the likes of Lomax. He’s been fucking lazy in this game..

Mind is already on the yen perhaps…

Saders are smacking the Canes around and winning the contacts

Impressed with Fihaki despite the last kick hes got some skill ,footwork and pace
Based on this years form i could understand an ABs call up
Last year not so much
Scooter outstanding in the first 40
A few reputations in the Canes going south -
It's games like these that gets guys selected for the All Blacks. You look at the Hurricanes, and obviously guys can have quiet games, but Numia, Kirifi and Love have been comfortably outplayed by their opposites - who are all established ABs. Lio-Willie is not everyone's cup of tea, but he consistenly stands out in these games, and I think is well on course for the ABs.

Lio-Willie is probably the most under appreciated loosies in the country. Rarely if ever has a bad game, consistently plays well, rarely makes mistakes
-
Canes lacking a little leadership out there in defence. Struggling with quick realignment in the line. Too reactive.
Saders support play pretty good and putting the ball through the hands. Some loose out the back play because they haven’t adjusted to the wind/conditons.
Reasonable happy with the pack especially in defence.

Don't think CLW will ever play for the ABs - too small. Was on the EOYT last year and there were plenty of opportunities to give him some minutes but Razor decided not to.

We need to get Hohepa off he’s just too bloody slow when we look to attack. He’s got a good kicking game but that’s not enough unfortunately. There’s a reason the Crusaders got rid of him and we were dumb enough to pick him up.

Red and black. Kirifi will be too small but CLW won’t be, just wait.

Harkin won't solve this. Hohepa was about the only one showing any sort of calmness... you could go full hail merry and throw Love to 10, but if the pack plays that poorly again, he'll be a lamb to the slaughter.
