@canes4life it’s always the case when you can’t catch a break

@gt12 The competition itself is of a fairly weak standard this year whether NZ rugby fans wanna admit it or not.
The format really highlights the difference.
Aumua in big trouble.
-
@african-monkey Yeah, other than the Crusaders and Blues the depth is really poor.
-
That sums up the game. Great kick into the corner, defensive lineout 5m from your own line. Riccitelli the three legged donkey overthrows it and Codie pounces. Easy try.

oh boy, bet no one wanted to let him into the huddle

You can see it in the coaching too. Only two/three teams have coaches that might actively be chased by overseas’ clubs.
The Chiefs and Canes are miles behind there and that factor appears to have been crucial at the Blues.

probably give Sam a card for his contact too

Interesting decision. No problem with it but they won't be consistent from game to game. Seen players carded for similar.

First thing I thought too, both shoulder to chest/shoulder/chin
-
@steven-harris Worrying thing is even last year the Canes won this game. This year I didn't bother watching it because it was a foregone conclusion.

Canes loose trio running a lot in that passage to rest an arm on each subsequent ruck. Not much else.
