Canes v Rebels

42-20 average score ouch

Last year was close. Canes got up 39-33

I'll be happy if we can walk away with a bonus point win. I don't care what the margin is.

Geezuz. Feels like 3.

[Duluth]

Good continuity from the Canes

[Yeetyaah]

WHY ARE THEY IN THEIR AWAY JERSEY AT HOME AHHHHHH

[Machpants]

Money money money

[Machpants]

Another Barrett broken finger?

[Machpants]

Jordie been listening to his brother? Ffs

[Duluth]

Hate it when the ref whistles too quick on a knock on. Good chance of a Canes advantage there

[akan004]

Great to see a packed house.

[Machpants]

Too easy, great scrum work. Rayasi almost stuffed it with an uneeded jump to slam the ball one handed, but thankfully held on to the ball

[Canes4life]

Morgan actually looking good at 10. Rakete-Stones, Shields and Delany have started well in the forwards.

[Canes4life]

Beaut turnover from Kirifi.

[Machpants]

Jeez that was a bad dive at the ruck before by rebels before that great turnover

[Machpants]

Boom awesome

[Canes4life]

Way too easy. Lovely from Shields, puts Perenara through and Barrett finishes the job.

[Duluth]

Nicely taken. Got the Rebels to lift at the back of the lineout so the defence wasn’t ready for that short pass

[Stockcar86]

GODFREY!

[Canes4life]

Godfrey you gun.
