Hurricanes vs Highlanders
-
<p>I am talking since the super comp started, the Canes have been consistant only in being inconsistant.</p>
-
Oh, right, you must have missed last year then.<br><br>
The only team in the history of Super rugby that has put 5+ years of consistent performance together is the Crusaders. -
<p>Proves my point, the Crusaders would certainly be the most consistant side in Super Rugby and also hold the most titles.</p>
<p>The Canes are known as a very inconsistant team and are the only NZ team to not have won a title.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am not saying that the Canes are a bad team, they can beat any other team in this comp when they play to their potential the problem is getting them to play to their potential consistantly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last year was by far the best they have played and they were worthy finalists but they are not replicating that this year so far</p> -
<p>Going to the game tomorrow straight after work. Picking out what I will wear tonight. We are in the uncovered part of the stands and it is supposed to start raining just before half time so want something waterproof.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most pubs that sell tables are sold out tomorrow after work. The game hasn't necessarily captured the imagination of the public but it has captured the imagination of the wellington rugby public and people are talking.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will cheer the home team but have money on the Landers.</p> -

It doesn't prove your point because the Canes are playing the Highlanders (who lost to the Reds and Blues THIS season), not the Crusaders in their golden years.<br><br>
You are saying the Canes won't get close because the Highlanders are such a consistent team. They are no more consistent then the Canes, both this year and in their entire Super rugby history. -
<p>In a short term basis Highlanders are playing better rugby than the Canes hence I believe the Highlanders will win Understand me now?</p>
-
<p>Good point the Highlanders were far better then the Canes last week.</p>

<p>Not really, because you started off by saying that you were talking about their consistency since the start of Super Rugby. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: In general, I agree though. From a short-term look at their performances, the Highlanders should have this.</p> -
That has been the cas in most games for them this season...guess those southerners are a bit slower
-
<p>wasnt that a fair steal in that lineout??</p>
-
I'm concerned about A and B Smith playing in the rain, for the good of the All Blacks they should really be subbed early in case they catch a cold.
-
Also, that was an awkward looking left handed pass from Fekitoa. He has a lot of work to do on his passing game.

<p>Fekitoa as well. He is going to be essential to the AB mid field this year. These Highlanders have a roof, they aren't used to this bad weather.</p> -
Oh dear Sopoaga's illegal boot has gifted Ardie a try.
