Excluding games against the Blues, no NZ team has won a NZ derby away from home yet. It certainly won't happen tonight.
You can’t exclude the Blues from NZ just yet, that crazy politician lady still needs enough signatures for her referendum before the North Shore becomes its own country.
Dunno what’ll happen with Auckland when that happens - Chiefs might take pity on them perhaps? -
All the guns in the world in terms of talent..!,but on reflection the Canes got torn a new one..!
-
Jordie Barrett at least has brains, nothing to be gained from another try to canes, but could allow landers to draw level on points with a bonus. Landers were awesome second half and improved, canes woeful and got worse. Basics and composure utter tripe

Hurricanes deserved losers.

Landers the better team by miles. Canes pack beaten up two games in a row, and backs unable to bail them out against an organised defense.
Biggest positive for me from that game is the Smith brothers showing some good form leading into the tests.
The break has come at a good time for the Canes. Let them stew on that for a couple of weeks then come out firing.
Bring on the ABs.

When Shields talks about not being able to hang on to the ball, I can’t help but laugh a little bit.
Congratulations on the 100 though. Seems a good bloke.
You realise he's a pom right? I'm not ruling out that he might be a good bloke but that is a hell of a burden to overcome.

I've found out why the canes played like that

He's got to be capped first, then I'll hate him.

What summed up the difference for me,was Squire driving back Shields 5 x metres and Naholo pinching the turnover..

Canes should feel even worse than last week.
Its one thing to be smashed by Crusaders in the wet - its another to be smashed by the Landers under the roof - including conceding a try when the opposition is down to 14. Title hopes in real danger now.
Canes powderpuff pack smashed. Evans played his worst game of the season - did not look AB quality.
Franklin awesome.
Frizell with 6 minutes gametime lol.
Squire might be in danger of a citing with that hit on Perenara.

@No-Quarter track wasn't flat enough
