Hurricanes v Rebels

[taniwharugby]

@Rancid-Schnitzel just picking up where he left off last year

[Billy Tell]

Admittedly the Rebels defence is poor but the canes look very good. So much pace in the halves. Would definitely take TJP over Smith at present. His signature must be a NZRFU priority! Nice to see the hot stepper back too.

@Crash said in Hurricanes v Rebels:

@Kirwan Don't discount TKB either

He's fine, but clearly third.

[KiwiMurph]

On the form of end of year tour and week 1 it could be argued Smith is 3rd.

[Tim]

Looks like it's going to be a long season for the Rebels.

[Crash]

Canes start the second half where they left off in the first..the bus slices through some weak defence to offload to his bro - ardie in under the bar!

[chimoaus]

What a difference a year makes, J Savea is a different player.

[chimoaus]

Why do they let tjp run so far from the scrum, surely the opposite 9 should be marking him tightly.

The new scrum laws from last year seem to give him plenty of space.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Me want to see Jordie now.

[Crash]

Bet JGB regrets his decision to play for the Rebels now

[KiwiMurph]

@Crash cos he's starting Super Rugby games as opposed to sitting at home on his couch?

[Crash]

@KiwiMurph Lol yeah and earning a bloody lot more than me as well...but more so because the Rebels look like lost lambs at this stage

[KiwiMurph]

Julian Savea really has owned Koroibete today.

[Crash]

You can stick your six nations shit where the sun don't shine man, this is the rugby I want to see

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Did the Rebels recruit that scrumhalf from the 90s?

[Crash]

@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah he looks like he's stuck in a time warp

[Crash]

NMS back in business alright -brings up his hat-trick on the end of a JB pass!

[jegga]

Ffs only a few of the rebels aren't just phoning this one in.

Nice hat trick there Nehe

[Crash]

Sweet stuff! Laumape with the intercept! 11 tries for the Canes...

[Rancid Schnitzel]

IMHO JB has to be 12. He doesn't have supersonic Beauden speed but he has a brilliant pass and offload.

Having said that, how do you leave out Laumape who has just scored?
