Hurricanes vs Brumbies

@Canes4life said in Hurricanes vs Brumbies:

Is there something wrong upstairs with Plumtree? How can you pick the same tight five and expect different results. Matttee Blackwell is not a lock, bring in IWL. Tiatia, Blackwell, May, Riccitelli, Eves, Toomaga Allen, Prinsep, Judd, Garden Bachop, Goosen. Man we are going to struggle this year.

What have Aumua, Ben Nicholas, Cridge etc done to piss Plumtree off?

it looks like Plumtree has lost the plot. He use to make sound selections when coaching Wellington but these locks selections (esp Blackwell) are so bad that I have doubts about his state of mind.

@ShadowTrooper

He was once (a good coach) Maybe not really suited as a head coach though. But people lose the plot. One top football coach said (much later in life) they could see clearly what to do when young but towards the end they had lost that ability. It's looking more and more like Plumtree is in this position now.

[Duluth]

Pocock is back

Tom Banks, Andy Muirhead, Tevita Kuridrani, Irae Simone, Chance Peni, Christian Lealiifano, Joe Powell, Lachlan McCaffrey, David Pocock, Pete Samu, Blake Enever, Rory Arnold, Allan Alaalatoa, Folau Fainga’a, Scott Sio

Reserves: Josh Mann-Rea, James Slipper, Leslie Leauluaialii-Makin, Darcy Swain, Tom Cusack, Matt Lucas, Wharenui Hawera, Tom Wright

@Duluth Wow, we are going to get destroyed in the forwards. Maybe this time it will get through to Plumtrees noggin.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

After 2 whole games, a team in a rebuilding phase, Allblacks being "managed" and our best player on his honeymoon I definitely think it's the time to write off the coach. Time for a change.

[Machpants]

@Rancid-Schnitzel Esp an obviously deranged coach

[KiwiMurph]

Whats the Canes obsession with their inferior alternate jersey?

[Yeetyaah]

@KiwiMurph I suppose Palmy isn't seen as a home territory. Manawatu to join Chiefs confirmed.

[antipodean]

Dane Coles intercept. Shut the gate!

[Stargazer]

Great try from Coles. Still got his wheels.

[kiwiinmelb]

Wow party time

[Stargazer]

Wow. That was a great passage of play from the Canes. Try Laumape.

[KiwiMurph]

What a pass Aso.

[Bones]

Looks like Tiatia was a fucken awful selection. Plumtree you retard.

Brumbies trying to take on the Canes with attempted Canes style. Failing miserably.

[Steven Harris]

Gonna be a long night for the Brumbies if they keep making handling errors from broken play

[Paekakboyz]

Soooo how bout those chiefs aye 😎

[Stargazer]

Just like the Blues, the Canes don't seem to be able to stop a maul.

[Paekakboyz]

Shit, sorry guys 😳

They played in their away jerseys when they played in Napier last time. I was seething with anger about that and stood up and publicly pronounced that they would never get another dollar from me through the turnstyle if that is how they treat their "home" fans. To this date I have held staunch to that. They are still the team that I support but just not financially thanks to the insult they delivered at McLean Park. Somewhat luckily I have been handed free tickets three times since then but that is the only way they will get me to attend games.
