Blues v Hurricanes

@pukunui If the NZRU doesn't force Hansen to pick J. Savea then there'll be room for both.

@ACT-Crusader What does it matter? He was offside and on the ground.

Hmmm, after that replay, I'm not so sure that was worth a yellow.

Clear YC. You can't knock the ball out of a halfbacks hands like that, particularly when your defence is back-pedalling. Professional foul.

Did he knock the ball or was it Pulu's arm?

Doesn't matter. He can't play the halfback if he's involved in the ruck.

Despite the soft Blues errors (every week) its been a fun game to watch. Young locks for Blues showing promise. Blues midfield clearly havent clicked. Nanai is awesome.

[ACT Crusader]

Just clarifying that he didn't knock the ball.

Doesn't matter - you can't play the halfback and he was off his feet.

[taniwharugby]

start the half with an error...

[canefan]

Fark u laumape!

[taniwharugby]

that wasnt fine....was forward

[canefan]

Neither side seems to want to win it so far

[taniwharugby]

pretty strong passage of defence by canes and equally good grind by Blues.

He hit the arm then the ball.

[taniwharugby]

FRancis throwing some Qwayde-like passes

[taniwharugby]

Skills by JB!

[Stargazer]

@antipodean But that was not why he was yellow carded, was he?

[taniwharugby]

@Kirwan not that it matters, but the hit on the arm dislodged the ball, he didnt play at the ball as the ref suggested....

[Stargazer]

Who's the fourth Canes hooker? Riccitelli limped off and was strapped in kilometres of bandage; if Coles isn't right next week, Apisai will start, but who will be on the bench?

The angle they showed at half time showed he did hit the ball
