Hurricanes v Brumbies

@Duluth said in Hurricanes v Brumbies:
Moorby has struggled a bit this year. Not unusual after a break through season. He must be getting close to drifting out of the top xv
I liked him better on the wing tbh, he's got a strong running game but I feel his kicking sometimes lets him down.
We are really missing Ruben Love at 15 IMO. A big reason the Canes fell off against the Chiefs two weeks ago was their inability to win the territory battle in that second half. Morgan's boot isn't big enough so we really need a fullback that is able to return fire effectively, atm Moorby doesn't have that ability.
Godfrey is the other really good option coming through but he's still so young and is probably considered more of a 10 long term.

I just hope they don’t move JB. There’s a lot of midfielders but not many fit fullbacks
I agree a healthy Love would help a lot

Proctor and Sullivan are on the injured list as well.

@Canes4life Agree mate, but I wouldn't be against Godfrey starting at 15 regardless.

I can't really remember IWL and Bird being on at same time
They were and formed a VG combination. As did Naholo and Rayasi
Yes it was against MP but the team played well. Maybe the best performance yet. I hoped after this the coaches would see the light regarding Blackwell. Hes fine at NPC level or against the weaker teams. But not against a top side
Proctor was surperb at 2nd 5 in this game
This was the team that I felt could win it. With the ABs back. But we haven't had luck with injuries (Cameron esp). And the selection in a few positions don't help

Agree. Hopefully though Love returns soon. Godfrey looks one for the future but maybe not ready yet as a starter

Ok mate, probably why I didn't remember, MP are hardly a team you need your top forward pack.
I think that was a game that as you said reminded us how good Proctor is, but perhaps doesn't get remembered for same reason.
I actually pretty neutral on who should be locking partnership, but think maybe scrum I think is one reason as both do better on same side? I do admit to not being anti Blackwell who I think is competent at super level, and to be honest I really think that of all 3 of them, none are world beaters. -
How was that advantage to the Brumbies and not a penalty to the Canes? Jules was taken out in the air!
-
You can blame Rayasi throwing the ball away for that.

-
Nice patience shown there by canes
-
