Hurricanes team named:

[Duluth]

7-7 after 18mins

Haven't been watching.. missed both tries

[Duluth]

Canes right wing Soloman looks fast

He chipped ahead and got taken out late. YC Chiefs and the Canes score from the next play

12-7

[Duluth]

Paongo with a break and then back inside to Solomon and the Canes score under the posts

19-7

Probably was obstruction, Paongo ran behind a prop when making the break

[Duluth]

19-14 at HT

Chiefs almost scored on half time. Plenty of niggle and pushing

[bayimports]

How is Grady going? This is Cole's brother, think both linking up for Steamers this year

[Duluth]

@bayimports

Not sure.. I’m only half watching as I work. I’m missing plenty of play

Time up. Penalty adv Chiefs

Mathieson with a half break. Pick and goes on the line. Forbes just short

Back for a pen

5m lineout

[Duluth]

Pick and goes after the lineout

Mitchell scores

Great finish by the Chiefs. Fun game

[Bovidae]

I thought that the Chiefs converted the earlier tries so the score should have been 21-19 not 19-19 at that time.

Brooke Mitchell was in the NZ Schools so does have some pedigree.

The Chiefs will need to work on their lineout. Tupou wasn't great in the NZB game either.

A game that ebbed and flowed but neither team used the wind as well as they should have.

The conversion was short I believe.

OK. It must have only just went under the crossbar then.

The sideline conversion near the end was huge.
