Highlanders

[Kiwiwomble]

Nice power play use yellow for our announcement, put the canes on the back foot right from the start

[mikey07]

Canes management are so useless haven’t even released the team yet..

[Stargazer]

Thompson-Dunn again on the bench, dammit. But what did I expect with this useless coach?

Probably still trying to find 15 Wellington players to make up the starting lineup! Obviously having a few problems doing that after getting toweled up by both the franchise "partners" teams..

[Stargazer]

Great team try from the junior Canes; Lakai gets the meatpie.

[Stargazer]

Now a nice try via the backs: Morgan -> Higgins -> Webster-Nonu try time!

[Bovidae]

Canes look a different team today.

[Stargazer]

Another try, now Oldridge with the quick tap and overrrrrrr.

Some good conversions from Morgan.

22 - 3 Hurricanes U20.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Yes, gelling better. But, by the looks of it, also a weaker opponent.

[bobily2]

(Note, I'm about 5 mins behind live)/ Disappointing to see Hastie kick the ball so soon after the Highlanders win a scrum against the head, especially when it was much too far to really put any pressure on the fullback.

[Bovidae]

The Canes will be disappointed with the last 10 mins. Game on.

[Kiwiwomble]

score?

[Bovidae]

29-17 Hurricanes at HT

[Stargazer]

Wow, Hurricanes down to 13 players with a prop and a winger in the bin.

[Bovidae]

Same ref from the last game when Baabaas down to 13.

[Kiwiwomble]

@stargazer bet they were doing it all day!

[Stargazer]

Another try to Higgins with the try assist from Godfrey. That 12-15 combo works well.

[Stargazer]

I see Thompson-Dunn has finally come on.

[Stargazer]

Not sure the referee got that right.

Godfrey again with the assist for that almost-try.
