Great try to Kemara. Ran right through Higgins.
Chiefs U20 5 - 0 Hurricanes U20
-
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
-
Chiefs penalty taken by Tevita Ofa.
Chiefs U20 8 - 5 Hurricanes U20
-
This wind is probably worth a couple tries.
-
Try scored by Sam Tuifua.
Chiefs U20 13 - 5 Hurricanes U20
-
Good try by the Canes after a wonderful break by Higgins.
-
Great try, with Monaghan showing good strength. Was it Godfrey who converted?
Chiefs U20 13 - 12 Hurricanes U20
-
@Stargazer yeah, Godfrey converted.
-
Unconverted try to Veveni Lasaqa.
Chiefs U20 18 - 12 Hurricanes U20
-
Nordstrom is a good prospect.
-
50 : 22, Chiefs line-out, and Sam Tuifua scores again. Tevita Ofa converts.
Chiefs U20 25 - 12 Hurricanes U20
-
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
-
Saumaki is a liability defensively on that left wing.
-
Try Thor Manase. Converted by Ofa.
Half time: Chiefs U20 39 - 12 Hurricanes U20
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@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.
-
Our forwards have been completely munched in this game. That Chiefs number 5 has been impressive.
-
@Canes4life Monaghan, Flanders and Lakai have been good, especially Flanders. Getting the turnovers, making his tackles.
-
@Stargazer far too many 1v1 missed tackles though. Just not good enough.
-
@Canes4life Flanders hasn't missed many.
-
@Stargazer I’m talking about the team in general. Saumaki again looking like a fool, he’s far too overated.
-
Excellent try-saving tackle from Godfrey!
-
@Canes4life Oh, you replied to my post about 3 players who went well.
-
Forwards are getting munted, the Canes aren’t playing as a team.
Chiefs are scoring with ease atm.
-
Geezus, that Chiefs try was too easy. Those Chiefs forwards are massive.
Some of the Canes players look like they've given up.
-
Chiefs U20 53 - 12 Hurricanes U20
-
Man, how many balls have the Canes U20 turned over? It's not just the Chiefs defence; there's too little support for Canes' attacking players.
-
@Stargazer there’s too much standing around by a lot of these Canes players.
-
Finally. That's what a bit of patience can do. Try Chicago Doyle. Great try assist from Harry Godfrey again, who also converts the try.
Chiefs U20 53 - 19 Hurricanes U20
-
Another player (Logan Love) being impatient. Shouldn't have gone himself.
-
Yesss, Harry Godfrey scores. Great try. Converts it, too.
Chiefs U20 53 - 26 Hurricanes U20
-
Geez, Harry Godfrey injured. Hopefully it isn't too bad. His replacement, Armstrong-Ravula is being dumb and cops a yellow.
Edit: it's now 14 v 14, because the Chiefs U20s also have a player in the bin.
-
Easy try from a driving maul to Taine Kolosi.
Chiefs U20 58 - 26 Hurricanes U20
This score is embarrassing.
-
That's the full time score.
-
Not sure who is the MotM. Several Chiefs U20 players have put their hand up. Some really good players and obviously good coaching.
As long as Darren Larsen is the Head Coach and selector of all Hurricanes age grade teams, they'll keep on having games like these.
Harry Godfrey the best young Cane on the paddock.
