Hurricanes vs Highlanders

[dingo]

<p>Was that an inside pass from Lima to no one? that Shields knocked on?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There should be rule stupid no look inside passes to no one that if they get knocked on by the defenders, it doesn't count.</p>

<p>some Highlanders reputations taking a defensive dent right now</p>

Namely fekitoa, Dixon and whitelock

[taniwharugby]

<p>2 of whom could possibly have an AB selection hinging on this game...?</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>too easy for Sopoaga in the end, too many numbers.</p>

[Canerbry]

<p>Highlanders owning the set piece, Canes have been brilliant in broken play. A Smith having a bit of a meltdown.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>14-7 in 29th minute</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>ball security shoulda been your first priority there Julian</p>

[dingo]

<p>What the fuck was that? Crazy kick from Lima.</p>

[No Quarter]

Landers saved by the bounce of the ball, thought BB was in for sure there.

[dingo]

<p>BB is awesome! What pace!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone who wants to take his AB bench finisher spot is gonna have to be double awesome. Which is like triple chocolate ice cream. Its chocolate but three times more chocolate than chocolate.</p>

<p>That's very racist.</p>

Bloody good game considering the conditions. Canes forwards very impressive early.

<p>Julian Savea has looked terrible out there. He just seems to have no game other than to run over people. He did it once and just got tackled but two other times he was bundled into touch and lost it forward. He's great if you put him into space but teams seem to know how to mark him out.</p>

<p>seems like Savea is keen to teach that Naholo a lesson...ie use your pace to burn people rather than run into contact and get pushed into touch or drop it</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Julian Savea may have made some mistakes, at least he tried. Has Naholo touched the ball yet? Jane and Osbourne the better wings in the first half.</p>

<p>yep, lets give him a certificate!</p>

This is pretty entertaining considering the conditions .<br><br>
The conditions for the players that is, I'm in a pub waiting for my pork belly burger. I might get wet when I go to the car though.

<p>See I thought Osborne was looking well outclassed by the other outsides on the park. Conditions are tough but without bad finishing the Highlanders would be killing it.</p>

Naholo stripped the ball from Savea resulting in a knock on and then did very well to get that clearing kick in. He's had the better of the clash thus far.
