Not a bad shift from the young fella. He needs to start the big games with Ardie. Kirifi just isn’t big enough.

He's one hell of a unit for a young fella. Looks a bit awkward when it comes to running though. I hope as he bulks up with age and training he doesn't slow down too much or lose agility.

How in the fuck do we need video refs if we are going to have absolute howlers still go missing. Get rid of them.
Beauden Barrett should not be near an AB 10 Jersey. The older he gets, the worse he gets.
Just signed a long term contract with the ABs to "close out" his career in NZ.
By the time he is 40 playing First five for the AB's he should still be able to kick the ball 5 metres.

Poor execution on the last play from scrummage there. Not quite sure what the plan was and wondering why they didn’t go left with the numbers.
I like Aumua on the bench. He’s more effective when the game has broken down a little and good to have him at the business end. Canes have some lads in that team now.
And as for Hoskins, looks like he’s added some steak to go with the sizzle. Helluva game from him.

@Kirwan True. But while tackling Moorby, Dalton tried to pull his head off so maybe the TMO thought if he gave the try it wouldn't end up a yellow and PT.
Yep I wondered the same at the time. Thought Dalton had given away a penalty try so that is why they left it at a try.

@Kirwan while that shows clear separation, I think his arm regained 'contact' before it touched the ground, meaning it was again in 'control'
For me, the much clearer part of it was the fact it was well short, and even the post grounding roll didnt seem to make the line.

You can't regain control by forcing it on the ground.

@Stargazer around the body.
If you are going to show acts that need to be looked at, the Blues guy getting dropped on his head is a good place to start.
Apparently if two Canes players do it it’s not a yellow card.

@Kirwan You always see something like this as an "attack" on your Blues boys. No need to be so defensive; it wasn't one. It just appeared on my time line, last night and I was wondering whether it was worth looking at. No need to reply with a "but look at those two Canes players" ...

Thoughts? Neck-roll?
Thought a clear yellow card at the time. Rieko personifies this Blues team for me, so talented, but just does stupid things at times.
