Hurricanes v Chiefs

[Tim]

<p>Shouldn't there be a yellow card? Although, I suspect that TKB was held and went again.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>knock oooon</p>

[gt12]

This Hurricanes team really is dangerous. That was AB like from defense to attack.

[dingo]

<p>Well, fuck me, did DMAC push the Awesome Savea into touch after the kick (YC?) but them BBBR run back and tidy up and poiint out "I'm a AB, wannabees, thats what you do"</p>

[No Quarter]

Aaaaannnnnnd take the 3 thanks.

[Siam]

If you call late tackle by fifita on McKenzie then you gotta call McKenzie late on Savea after his kick.

<p>BB is awesome.  Try.<span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">lower/eastern/western north island awesomeness (and NZ factory of first fives)</span></p>

[No Quarter]

Beauden "DC" Barrett is the new AB 10.

[Donsteppa]

Fucking Chiefs, look before you pass!! Sam Cane with Kerr Barlow disease.

[Mattasaurus]

Can the Chiefs come back from here...I'm not so sure...

<p>Farken Beaudy! </p>

Can't see it. Outside of a slight advantage in tight forwards, so far I can't see any way of scoring at least two tries while not conceding any more... We're an odd mix of ponderous and panicky.

<br>
Most of that is due to the Canes just being better. They've ridden their luck on D but kept us out, and then their chances.<br><br>
They look like Super rugby champions.

[No Quarter]

Lovely kick from DMac.

[Mattasaurus]

Chiefs needed that badly

[taniwharugby]

<p>Think Hansen needs to sub BB off now  </p>

[Frank]

<p>Chiefs scrum much better.</p>

[Siam]

Good god this is fun to watch.<br><br>
A splendid curtain raiser for the big one later

[Billy Tell]

<p>Cruden's level has not dropped.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But Road Runner Barrett has just shot past him.  I don't think it's even debatable that Barrett should start for NZ, and I will consider it a black mark against Hansen if he goes with Cruden.  So it then becomes Sopoaga vs Cruden...vs McKenzie for the bench role.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, Sam Cane, dreadful telegraphed pass.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chiefs need to score first after the break.</p>

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

<p>All that effort from the Chiefs over 15 minutes or more for no reward and then the Hurricanes come out of the box like One the Red with Savea’s clever feinting run over 50 odd metres – that’s debilitating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I say Cane should have taken the 3 points at the outset of that period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Steve Hansen has himself a couple of fairly able No 7s on show out there tonight.</p>
