Glad I rage quit that, I'm under the weather and just wanted to watch some fun rugby

That was entertaining:)

Without reading the thread I’m guessing the ref is at fault according to everyone on here

Somehow he even managed to tie the shoelaces of the Hurricanes pack together.

There's only been one rather vocal over-confident Canes fan on here this year. The rest of us can see we are not gelling like we have in previous years, despite our remarkably good win/loss ratio. We've been lucky to scrape by a number of times. Credit to the Jags they were miles ahead of us tonight.

He did not help but the Hurricanes were so far removed skill wise from what you expect to see from fulltime professional players there would be a good chance of a prosecution under the Trades Description Act succeeding if they advertised that as a professional rugby match.

[Stargazer]

So in the last two seasons, the Jaguares have beaten the Blues, Chiefs and Hurricanes in NZ. Who would have thought that possible when they first entered the competition?

@No-Quarter yep well said mate

[Chris]

@Stargazer great to see they will be a tough opposition come finals

Same as last year. We get by with moments of brilliance but underneath it all our pack are journeymen at best (except for Ardie and Dane)

@canefan and Walker-Leawere should have played more,adds some grunt

[canefan]

I'm still dining out on our solitary championship

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer tbf with the roster they have had, they should be turning us over more.

BUt as you say, hopefully they realise thier potential and kick on to win the SA pool

[Victor Meldrew]

Geez, that was painful to watch. And I'm not even a 'Canes supporter

[SammyC]

Aumua is the classic example of the kid who was bigger and stronger than everyone growing up so neglected working on basic skills and fitness.

Highlights?

[Crucial]

Those Jordie Barrett fans still pumping for him to cover 10 in the ABs?

When SBW did that in goal ball kill he at least had an excuse that his league playing instinct took over. Despite that he was pilloried for it. JB has no such excuse except being a dumb ass.
As the ref said 'you took the risk'. He would have been far better making a legal attempt and hoping the Jags player didn't make it.

[sparky]

Congratulations to the Jaguares, clever tactics to target the Hurricanes where they are weakest: up front.

Jordie Barrett and TJP flapped around under pressure in this game when cool, calm heads were needed. Vaea Fifita is a bigger cause for concern IMHO. When the going gets tough, he gets lazy.
