[KiwiInLondon]

Seems like JJ has had a big impact on these younger players. All have stepped up significantly compared to last season

Kirifi is an old school poacher

With the exception of Holland, the second row and back rows are juts too small to one of clean the bigger forwards of the canes

[gt12]

This is so shit, the ball is there. Let them play it

[Mattasaurus]

no release at all

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiInLondon they have been missing completely more often than not is the issue

[antipodean]

Arscott asking nothing of the defence.

[gt12]

That guy is tackled. Far out, what is this ref doing?

[KiwiMurph]

Bartlett impressive in the loose

[antipodean]

Why do players not know that they're better off stopping short and recycling that fighting to be held up over the line?

Lack of tactical awareness. Like the guy who runs backwards thinking he can score on the first touch in touch rugby

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful Canes defence should win them this one
