<p>Ummm the Canes have beaten the Blues, Force, Kings and Jags, hardly ringing endorsements that they should be comfortable away from home against an improving side. I'm hopeful of a Canes win, but they will have to play some better footy than they have to win.</p>

<p>Meh they should win comfortably!!</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Is there anyone out there getting shivers up their spine knowing Mr. Hoffman has the whistle?</p>

[Tordah]

<p>that turf is a disgrace, Rebels should be fined for that shit</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Mr. Hoffman does a virtual highland fling in his haste to award a try to the Rebels but then backtracks and refers what at first glance looked to be a clear held up to the TMO</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Then has to back track. You can almost hear the disappointment in his voice.</p>

<p>Good job there by Perenara to get that referred to the TMO.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>The turf trips Julian Savea up and lets the Rebels in for an undeserved try. This pitch is a disgrace, the game should be called off right now on grounds of safety.</p>

<p>Haha good description.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Highland fling was how I remember Jim Fleming awarding tries to the French in 99......</p>

[No Quarter]

What a disgrace. They should go to golden oldies scrums to avoid the pitch tearing up like that, or just call it off. You can't play professional footy in a sand pit.

[Stargazer]

<p>Haha, this tweet from James Marshall: "Should have trained at the beach this week!"</p>

[No Quarter]

Also what is with Hoffman awarding a try when he obviously didn't see a grounding...

[Higgins]

<p>Beauden Barrett misses a realtively simple penalty as it comes off the upright but from the ensuing play Victor Vito score a nice try. Hurricanes 07 - 05 Rebels after 18 minutes</p>

[No Quarter]

Brilliant from Barrett.

[Stargazer]

<p>Awesome try Vito; great play by Barrett!</p>

[Higgins]

<p>But that lead is held only momentarily after Vaea Fifita gets done for holding on in a messy pileup and the kick sails over Hurricanes 07 - 08 Rebels</p>

[No Quarter]

Outragous try, brilliant from Woodward.

[dingo]

<p>The media may talk up the Sopanga - Cruden battle for the starting AB 1st Five, but BB is awesome in any sort of space with his pace and vision.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Cory Jane might have old legs but that doesn't stop him scoring in the right hand corner after Jason Woodward skillfully takes his chip kick on the full and offloads to Jane to score nicely.  Hurricanes 12 - 08 Rebels 21 minutes played</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Very nice.
