@dingo point taken, be interesting to see!

It will be!

Alaimalo may not have scored tonight, but everything he's done has been positive.

[Stargazer]

@antipodean He's a ball hog though. Doesn't know when to pass.

[Bones]

@dingo just to add - I don't quite see it in RR. He seems to be one of those players that plays below his size at the moment, doesn't seem to hit as hard as he should. But is starting to bring back the skill set we saw in his first season nicely.

Seems to be a Chiefs disease...

Boshier is so fucking dumb. I used to love him, but he’s been good for that penalty three weeks on a row

[Stargazer]

Wow, Proctor. Dmac must have felt that!

[Donsteppa]

Fucking Chiefs backs. As organised as a herd of cats

Yeah, don't disagree but I think the selections they might make with the RWC in 2019 knowing Coles isn't the force he was might be different. Go for the good enough bench sitting replacement versus the guy who will be awesome in the 2023 RWC.

Full time: Hurricanes 25 - 13 Chiefs

Passing and catching have been terrible by the Chiefs.

Well deserved win to the Canes

[Stockcar86]

Good game to watch, now to switch over for the Black Ferns

[Machpants]

Woot I'll take that. Both Barrett's awesome, saved a handful of tries with their desperation defence.

[Paekakboyz]

@machpants jordie def seems faster this season, made some great covering tackles tonight. 🖒

They're as organised as their first five allows. Dmac is too much like a headless chook.

[Toddy]

Evans made some good metres off the back of the scrum. Chiefs loosies pretty average in that regard.

[No Quarter]

Well I'll take that, especially after last weeks performance. Chiefs are always bloody tough so you've gotta enjoy any win over them, even if they are hit hard by injuries.

The Barrett brothers are just awesome. Said it last week but if Beauden goes down then Jordie has to move to 10 - we must have one of them controlling the game as much as possible.

Really loving Laumapes work, error free and extremely strong on defense and with ball in hand - great attributes for test footy.

@Stargazer is right about Evans, he's been excellent for us this year, doing some great work at the back of the scrum.

The Canes juggernaut rolls on, good times.
