Hurricanes Under 20s vs Chiefs Under 20s

[Stargazer]

Brilliant attack from the young Canes! Awesome break from Armstrong-Ravula, pass to Godfrey, offload to Flanders, who scores in the corner!

Chiefs U20 5 - 5 Hurricanes U20

[Stargazer]

Chiefs penalty taken by Tevita Ofa.

Chiefs U20 8 - 5 Hurricanes U20

[Canes4life]

This wind is probably worth a couple tries.

[Stargazer]

Try scored by Sam Tuifua.

Chiefs U20 13 - 5 Hurricanes U20

[Canes4life]

Good try by the Canes after a wonderful break by Higgins.

[Stargazer]

Great try, with Monaghan showing good strength. Was it Godfrey who converted?

Chiefs U20 13 - 12 Hurricanes U20

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer yeah, Godfrey converted.

[Stargazer]

Unconverted try to Veveni Lasaqa.

Chiefs U20 18 - 12 Hurricanes U20

[Stargazer]

Nordstrom is a good prospect.

[Stargazer]

50 : 22, Chiefs line-out, and Sam Tuifua scores again. Tevita Ofa converts.

Chiefs U20 25 - 12 Hurricanes U20

[Stargazer]

That was a seriously weak tackle attempt from Ropeti earlier.

Kemara scores again. Ofa converts. This is getting ugly for the young Canes.

Chiefs U20 32 - 12 Hurricanes U20

[Canes4life]

Saumaki is a liability defensively on that left wing.

[Stargazer]

Try Thor Manase. Converted by Ofa.

Half time: Chiefs U20 39 - 12 Hurricanes U20

[Bovidae]

Really impressed with Kingi again, and both CM loosies are strong ball-carriers.

I don't think Kemara ever left the field either. Rewiti seems to have gone off.

[Canes4life]

Massive half by the Chiefs, some really dumb rugby by the Canes in that first half. I know that wind has made things tough but they have been extremely impatient.

[Stargazer]

Riley Higgins is a good player, but he could be better if he didn't try to do too much. The Hurricanes were in a good position on the field, and instead of allowing the halfback to pick up the ball, he does it and throws a hospital pass. Rushing it. Chance gone. Not for the first time. He needs to pick his moments better.

Canes frontrow not impressing. Both wings not going well either.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer I feel like Godfrey is another one that pushes the pass too much. Both him and Higgins need to be better.

Ravula isn’t controlling things well from 10 which isn’t helping our cause.

[Canes4life]

Our forwards have been completely munched in this game. That Chiefs number 5 has been impressive.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Monaghan, Flanders and Lakai have been good, especially Flanders. Getting the turnovers, making his tackles.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer far too many 1v1 missed tackles though. Just not good enough.
