QF Brumbies vs Hurricanes

Don't discount the hometown factor. The crowd is notoriously vocal and one-eyed so only the very best referees aren't impacted accordingly. Unfortunately there aren't many competent refs.

The Canes will have to be perfect on the night. Even then that might not be enough. I can't ever remember us winning in Canberra in the regular season let alone the playoffs

Will prob come down to if Canes tight 5 can hold their own.
ever 'twas thus
This is on rinse and repeat every single season…
Even when they had Tialata, Hore and Jason Eaton in their tight 5, their tight 5 were under the microscope!

I think we bet them in a quarter final over there in 2017, before going down to the Lions in Jo-burg.
They knocked us out last year and obviously beat us there this year so hopefully we can turn the tide.
If we play to our full potential I reckon the lads can do it. Just need to win the battle upfront which is going to be a big ask.

So they fly 4 Kiwi officials over to Aust for this game.
There’s this mystical thing that happens as referees fly over the Ta$man, its as if it doesn’t matter where they come from and neutrality distills upon them. Just another wonder of this amazing competition.

"Jordie Barrett, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Tyrel Lomax, Ruben Love, and Julian Savea - all rejoining the team in the Australian capital and available for selection".

Ok c'mon Canes' men how we going to go this week, it was a bloody good touch up Brumbies gave us a few weeks back!
Need to be very solid in the set pieces, also be really aggressive at the breakdown... do those things with the dangerous backs we have & it should be a good win for the Canes.

It will also be a game of two halves.

Good to see that all those players are available... yeah, makes more sense to have 6 teams in play-offs next time.

As long as a game of two halves favours us on the scoreboard at the end of the match

No it doesn’t. I hate the Aussie way of preliminaries etc while some teams rest

I prefer it. Some benefit to having won during the round robin stage. Top teams can still do a "Souths 1989" and not make the final.
