Hurricanes v Blues (pre-season)

[nzzp]

14 degrees in Wellington. Love it, but only to visit these days

[KiwiMurph]

Williams pinging Blues off the park.

[Tim]

Goodhue's defence has been aggressive.

[nzzp]

Lineouts look terrible for the blues so far. Compete dysfunction

[KiwiMurph]

Love looking good at 10 for Canes - I reckon he has bulked up a wee bit

[KiwiMurph]

Canes dominating the scrums.

[Dice]

Our kicking from hand has been terrible.

[gt12]

Blues need a kicking coach

@dice said in Hurricanes v Blues (pre-season):

Ha, snap

[Stargazer]

Flanders looking strong thus far.

[Steven Harris]

Impressions of the first quarter ..
Canes playing in the right part of field, good strong carrying from the forwards .
Blues breakdown work inaccurate and that Hori old chestnut, when the Blues have’nt got the ball = indiscipline

[Tim]

Set piece and kicking could do with some work.

[gt12]

RTS watch: He looks pretty confident on defense - he’s really communicating with others and constantly talking. On attack I think Ive only seen two passes so far.

[KiwiMurph]

@gt12 he had one run but just trucked it up.

[Tim]

Is the wind blowing down or across the field?

[cgrant]

I did not expect the Canes to be so dominant up front. Even their scrum is holding its own. That Lakai looks to be a big unit.

[gt12]

Short carry there too.

[Tim]

@gt12 Not great conditions for a stepper!

[mikey07]

Wow Blues going for 3

[Steven Harris]

@stargazer both number 8s looking good
