Hurricanes vs Brumbies

[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 😳

I bet the crusaders can.

Whats the Canes obsession with their inferior alternate jersey?

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.

[Stargazer]

@Bones I can't remember whether they had to try defending against a maul last week; probably because the Canes' line-out didn't work. Would be a worry for the ABs if that's a weak point of all NZ teams.

[Bones]

Brumbies with an interesting tactic of the tackler not releasing the tackled player, but not being on the wrong side and 'serving' him up to the next Brumbie in for the steal. Ref buying it hook, line, sinker.

[Steven Harris]

Watching the live betting Brumbies paying $5.20..hmmm

[Paekakboyz]

@Bones infuriating!!

[Bones]

Wow, ref asleep at the wheel. That lineout was a farce.

[antipodean]

This could be a differen tgame if the CVanes stop giving away dumb penalties and the ref has a look at the Brumbies.

How good was that from TJP?

[Stargazer]

Awesome pass from TJP; Coles scores in the corner!

[nzzp]

That try gave me a chubby

[antipodean]

WTF was the near touchie doing asking for the sideline to be checked? Blind clown.

What cheesed me is knockons ignored, adn probable people being 'out' being missed.

The standard of officiating in rugby is terrible. The laws dno't help, but god help me it's a hard watch sometimes.

[Tim]

Absolutely delightful stuff. It's a joy to watch TJP in that kind of form.

I was just about to say that. Shocking call, not even close. Same touchie that couldn't see the Brumbies having to catch a lineout down their outside shoulder.
