Hurricanes v Force

Crucial

The yellow strip with the black shoulders looks ridiculous from behind. The yellow adidas stripes come over the shoulders like braces and when combined with the same colour shorts it looks like lederhosen or kids short dungarees. The Crusaders red strip with the black shoulders has the same effect.

Agree. The black with a bit of yellow looks good. But the design at the back. It looks silly

Dammit. 
He is bloody made of glass though. He seemed to go off injured every other game last year.

he is a pretty fine piece of glass though :)

He's had a few shoulder issues so hopefully this will sort it out.

I'll get David to dob on you to the ref.

taniwharugby

cant dob in INternet tough guys!

No Quarter

Blade gets a great steal and TJ immediately bangs it out on the full to hand back possession. It's like his mind and body are a bit out of sync. The mind is going at a million miles an hour but his body can't quite keep up.

Crash

What dickhead decided to have the refs also wearing matching yellow shirts?
And is it a coincidence the refs are sponsored by specsavers - bloody hell they sure need specs if they couldn't see Coles bang that down for a try

Hooroo

Could this game be any more dull and could the Force fullback be any more hopeless? Scared of contact?

Hooroo

Holy shit this rugby is just so so shit. Comedy club

Stargazer

I have only seen one Savea playing since the start of the season and it ain't the All Black no. 11.

Mattasaurus

That was a tough watch.... at least I had my wife telling me about her day at work...cos that was actually interesting. 
Could be a very long season for canes fans this year. 
Julian was bloody ordinary under that last high ball

Higgins

I acquired a new television during this past week and to me the flood lights look to be rather dull. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it something that needs to be adjusted on the new TV?
 
In case anyone is wondering the score at halftime is Hurricanes 10 - 03 Force

Not as bright as big grounds... but still able to see sharp shadows of the players on the ground. ...

Force are one of those annoying teams, kinda like that addage of arguing with an idiot and he'll bring you down to his level and beat you with experience....
