Hurricanes v Rebels

[KiwiMurph]

Nisbo in midseason form already...confusing Rebels no. 8 Mafi with Rebels winger Koroibete.

Aso having a blinder.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

TJP looking incredible. I reckon you have to take him over Smith on this form.

[Crash]

Wow Aso is on fire today - a beautiful out the back door pass to Proctor and the Canes are in again!
BB conversion successful! 31-6 Canes

Was just coming on to say the same thing, good we have two choices there now. He's improved so much.

[jegga]

You'd think being 2m tall would be a disadvantage for an open side but Ardie makes it work .
Great to see NMS back

[Crash]

@Kirwan Don't discount TKB either

[taniwharugby]

@Rancid-Schnitzel just picking up where he left off last year

[Billy Tell]

Admittedly the Rebels defence is poor but the canes look very good. So much pace in the halves. Would definitely take TJP over Smith at present. His signature must be a NZRFU priority! Nice to see the hot stepper back too.

He's fine, but clearly third.

[KiwiMurph]

On the form of end of year tour and week 1 it could be argued Smith is 3rd.

[Tim]

Looks like it's going to be a long season for the Rebels.

[Crash]

Canes start the second half where they left off in the first..the bus slices through some weak defence to offload to his bro - ardie in under the bar!

[chimoaus]

What a difference a year makes, J Savea is a different player.

[chimoaus]

Why do they let tjp run so far from the scrum, surely the opposite 9 should be marking him tightly.

The new scrum laws from last year seem to give him plenty of space.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Me want to see Jordie now.

[Crash]

Bet JGB regrets his decision to play for the Rebels now

[KiwiMurph]

@Crash cos he's starting Super Rugby games as opposed to sitting at home on his couch?

[Crash]

@KiwiMurph Lol yeah and earning a bloody lot more than me as well...but more so because the Rebels look like lost lambs at this stage

[KiwiMurph]

Julian Savea really has owned Koroibete today.

[Crash]

You can stick your six nations shit where the sun don't shine man, this is the rugby I want to see
