Rebels v Hurricanes
-
-
Rebels ran out of gas at around the 60 minute mark, and without Mafi don't offer much at the back end of the game.
-
I forgot how good the Canes defense has become. I expected this game to be 50-38. Rebel’s haven’t kept up their end.
-
Jules would have scored that every time a few years back.
-
That was a bit weak. Just hold it if you aren’t going to get there.
Time for that contract to be bought out
-
@no-quarter yeah feel sorry for him eh!
@Stargazer Goosen came on a while ago.
-
Lam with 4, Canes with 50, that will do thank you.

Went down the pub to watch. Left at 60 minute mark.
Should really have left after that bullshit bounce for the Canes' second try after 20 minutes. You just know when that shit happens that Barrett is going to win the game easily.
Rebels could have done with more accuracy at the breakdown, turning over ball at crucial times. And a halves combination that works. Debreczini is shit. Genia was hesitant because he wasn't getting options, then he was making some bad decisions himself.
Canes the luxury of presenting multiple options every rich so TJP could just Chuck it and someone would be there.
Some good moments from the home side but there's a reason the bookies were giving them $4 the win.

Good Canes win but Rebels need to work on their defense.
Some of the Canes new recruits look promising. Evans in particular but Henwood will be pleased with his first start. Even Booth looked promising when he came on. And Lousi continues his improvement at lock
Shields and Perenara are both playing as well as I have seen them play so far this year. And maybe give Goosen a run at 2nd next week with Laumape having one of his rest weeks.
I still don't think Aso is a center. His best position is wing. I would prefer to see Aso on the wing, Jodie tried at center (or Goosen when Laumape starts and Proctor is out) and Lam at FB.
Good win for the Canes but Rebels need a lot of work. The Waratahs and now the Canes have exposed their defense
and I might be wrong about Eves. He's playing well as a starting LH

I was so close to picking up Lam for my fantasy team this week, but I picked Jordie up instead. Crap.
Well, I have Julian Savea.
He had a good points haul in this game.

I think he came on about the 70 minute mark

Bit sad with both MAAAARRDDOOO and the sideline chick both trawling for affirmation in 1st half that this matchup is the same standard as NZ derbies.
so glad the Canes got around to using repeated stabbing motions to deflate MAAAARRDDDOOO'S raging stiffy-orchestrated cheerleading for Aus rugby tonight. Fuck they guy. FFS, giddy with expectation, he gets on the mic with Rebs coach and starts telling him how to use his subs?? Are you fuckign shitting me? The fucking gall. If I'm the Rebs coach it's "GET OFF THE AIR, SHITC**T."
Yeah I was thinking the same things.
