SRA U20: Hurricanes U20 v Highlanders U20

[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.

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.

@stargazer thanks for the update, I will try and catch some highlights later on.

[Canes4life]

Anyone got a highlights link for this game?

[Stargazer]

@canes4life Not yet.

[Bovidae]

There is a full replay at 1 am tomorrow on SS1.

[Canes4life]

Managed to watch the replay and I was really impressed by the way Morgan lead the Canes 20s around the park. His acceleration to the line and bullet passing really allowed our backs to open up in that first half before it got messy in the second with the two cards.

Riley Higgins also got through a mountain of work and didn’t shy away from the hard work, carrying the ball up time and time again. Looking forward to seeing how that Morgan and Higgins combo develops going forward.

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

Yellow is nicer than what I thought it was - lemon.
