Hurricanes vs Force

Kiwiwomble

My money is on the ref only brought his yellow kit

Canes4life

Superb try.

Machpants

Great try

Nice ball by PUJ there.

Canes4life

We are looking a lot more menacing with Aumua out there.

Not so menacing with our long kicks in play tho, FFS

Thought Laumape may have run a bit of obstruction at the first phase.

Kiwiwomble

That’s bullshit, his bum was bouncing on the ground, shouldn’t have been released

Canes4life

Aumua is having some game. His defence has been huge.

Machpants

One good thing followed immediately but utter coach killing stupidity

Canes4life

@machpants bloody frustrating.

Nepia

Good to hear a coach (Blyendeel) talk about x factor players rather than the Mitchell and Hammettuer bullshit of pretending they're not needed.

Higgins

@nepia Where do Messrs Blackwell and Prinsep fit into that then? Neither would be anywhere near the X Factor ranking.

I think the problem here is that Holland thinks those two are his x factor players, rather the Rayasi etc.

Machpants

Need to get the ball wide on attack, there's so much space, and force aren't coming up fast enough to stop it

Nepia

So why are the canes in their white jerseys?

They're worried the Hawkes Bay crowd wont support a team in yellow?

What's interesting is that the original yellow was likely due to the Naki being the other favoured province in the Canes and now they're gone.

antipodean

What sort of refereeing is that? How hard is it to see someone join from the side of a maul?

Canes4life

Have hardly noticed Kirifi in this game.

Machpants

Is it not illegal for the team in possession to collapse a maul?

Machpants

There you go. Only cos shit defenders tho, awful tackle attempts
