Hurricanes v Blues
-
This ruling that you can't put more guys in to the ruck is really not in line with the key to rugby - contest for possession. It's also really allowing attacking teams to commit one guy, withstand that and the defense can't bring more guys in... I'm not sure what I don't like about it, but it looks a bit weird seeing the attacking team taking no heed of protecting the ball 'because the contest is over'...

<p>Canes get a midfield scrum, have to consolidate and play in the blues half for a while. <strong>Choke them out Saders style</strong></p>

<p>I hope you don't mean last night's Saders style?</p> -
Fifita may be an allblack by the end of the year. But I see him more at 6 than 4. Incredible potential.

<p>The queue for those positions is long though ...</p> -
Cant complain about the lack of action in that one

<p>Excellent defence in that second half by the Canes.</p>

<p>Stupid decision from the Blues to go for the quick tap instead of kicking for the 3 points. The Blues could have had a bonus point.</p>

<p>Can't say I'm too bothered by that decision as we're miles off the pace. The one that did turn things was the shot at goal we took at 30-27. A really stupid decision which cost us the game (and that Coles try that wasn't).</p>
