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

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.

(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.

That AR and ref got it badly wrong later too when the Hurricanes should have had an attacking lineout from the 22-50 kick.

Hurricanes 36 - Highlanders 31 FT

[Stargazer]

A much closer game than I expected. Highlanders U20 came back strong in the 2nd half.

Haven't been able to watch this game closely, but got the impression that Aiden Morgan would have been the MotM if they had named one. Not listening too much to the commentators in that respect, esp Lose, because he's a terrible fanboy and not always of the right players.

FT: Hurricanes U20 36 - 31 Highlanders U20
