Hurricanes v Chiefs

ALB is about the only Chief worth noting tonight. A strong game amongst headless chooks.

DMac poor tonight. Disappointing.

To be objective, France were rubbish.

If Dmac starts at ten in an RWC knockout game we're in big trouble.

Yet his start at 10 in the last test he was so composed...
Where is that guy?

Needs some help.

Not good enough to be that player without cool heads around him

Yep, this. All day long

ACT Crusader

Chiefs forward pack have been outplayed. Plenty of leaning on rucks by guys in black jerseys.

Tim

@act-crusader Cane is out of form. Should've started Karpik.

canefan

We are super committed tonight. Game set match

Gunner

So who will the Canes get in the semis?
Would I be correct in assuming the Crusaders (1 v 4)?

KiwiMurph

@gunner yes

Donsteppa

Cane is underdone, played about 3 full games in the last ten weeks.

It's a fixed bracket. We get the winner of Crusaders vs Sharks no matter what the other results are.

Cane is fucking terrible at the moment. It’s a real worry.

footy01

How shit has Jackson been. Inconsistent the whole game

Tim

@gt12 He needs an immediate "sabatical".

mariner4life

Just smoked at the ruck, no numbers poor body position

Should just dive off our feet to keep it...

ACT Crusader

Julian Savea’s best game for about 2 years.

canefan

Laumape has shut down Dmac's options tonight

Ouch

Nope. An out of form Cane makes tackles, people forget how average Karpik was in the first half last week.

Rapido

Laumape
JTA
Evans
Perenara

In that order, been great for the Canes tonight.

No Quarter

@act-crusader said in Hurricanes v Chiefs:

@no-quarter I thought the Canes forwards were on top in that first half. Really upped their aggression in the tackle.

I didn’t think they would be able to keep it up but they have done well.

Lousi would be a fantastic rugby player if he didn’t run so upright.

I'm pretty pissed but I remember a stat in the first 40 that had the Chiefs 70-30 ahead in territory and possesion. Weber stinking up the joint certainly kept us in it at that point.

But fair call, the Canes forwards have punched above their weight against a pack that includes two of the worlds best. They can be very proud.

Neither of these teams are good enough to go all the way though. Saders are a class above this year.
