Hurricanes v Brumbies

[Nepia]

That comical article should have been posted in this match thread @Stargazer . Also, I don't even think most of our age grade players go to the Canes anyway. At least not the good ones. I wonder where Lowe will eventually wind up?

@Crucial Your sentence "For a while you were happy to send your players to ..." made me laugh because it seems to suggest that we supporters have a say in which players get a contract at which franchise.

Don't take my quickly typed comments so literally.

I should perhaps have said 'For a while you were happy your players were sent....'

We were just happy our players got selected anywhere when the Canes overlooked them ... the Chiefs and Highlanders have had decent numbers in the recent past. We're so shit at the moment we're lucky to have very many.

#TripleT

There's been a few double barrelled names over the years, but this could be the first triple I've seen

I take it you don't watch boxing? Triple G
Triple H doesn't count cos it's his ring name lol

That's because in Crusader land when they don't know who the dad is it has no effect on the surname anyway.

But of a nervy start from Canes. Missed tackles and drop balls. Made up for it with a nice scrum though.

[Bones]

The Brumbies were told to watch Aso and they did!

[mimic]

How good is it having a halfback who passes from the carpet..
Nice try to Ah So

[Stargazer]

Wow, is Aso invisible? He made that look so easy!

[Stockcar86]

Not impressed with TripleT so far - gets to the ruck, and looks both ways before picking up the ball - seems to take far too long

[Damo]

Are the Brumbies puffed already? That was an embarrassing try.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Great try ruined by the dab.

[Gunner]

Gee I love seeing the Canes scrum shitting all over the Brumbies!!! Impressive stuff.

[Gunner]

CJ times it like a thief in the night. Great try

[Stargazer]

Yes! Beauden's kicking magic leading to a try again; by Jane this time!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

AFL style!

I actually think Triple T has potential. His pass looks pretty damn good.

[taniwharugby]

superb

I thought he looks good.. But I'm comparing him to the Blues halfbacks..

[No Quarter]

The thing with that first try, it appears Barrett did very little to create it. But just because he had the ball, all three Brumbies players panicked and went to cut him down while completely ignoring Aso. If that's anyone else with the ball they would cover Aso as well. So tough to defend against, give him an inch and he skins you, try to swarm him and it opens up space for others.

[Gunner]

If the Canes can keep their minds on the job for the full 80, this has potential to turn into a cricket score by the looks of things so far.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Bit soft there. Focus boys.

[mariner4life]

That's fucking soft. Hurricanes can get very leaky #mentallyweak
