That Enari and Hohepa combo off the bench must be close to one of the worst ever for the Canes. 🤮
Hopefully Harkin has practised pinning his ears back this week.
Yeah it's the forwards we've got the problem, before they even get on. No Aumua is a really worry. I can't see us winning this one, not unless the team have had iq added since last weekends debacle

Aumua hasn't been playing well so isn't as big a loss as he might have been if he was in form. The issue is that Tuputupu is a penalty magnet and has a very low rugby IQ, he cost us a chance of beating the Crusaders two weeks ago because he wouldn't give the halfback the ball off a lineout drive, and then he gave away a penalty that allowed the Force to tie up the game last week. He also got a red card last year against the Chiefs for a dangerous tackle so hopefully he reigns it in and just does his core job well.
I also think it's a huge risk starting Lomax from the pine. The Brumbies have a very strong and experienced tight five and I just can't see us beating a team that rarely makes mistakes, plus we have a horrible record in Canberra.
Here's hoping I'm wrong and we can get a result because we are running out of weeks now.

We have been injury plagued since preseason, so even when reinforcements return they are so far behind the 8 ball they haven't been able to have the impact we want
Yeah it's just been one of those seasons unfortunately, plus we haven't had a settled 10 all year which hasn't helped either. I'm not expecting us to make the playoffs but if we do from here, it's a bonus.

Good early run

Harkin picking up from where he left off

Eastbourne with two touches for two knock ons within two minutes. Consistency.

Another moronic held up over the try line incident by a kiwi player

Poor decision by Shields

Yep, had them on the ropes and he gave them an out
