Hurricanes vs Stormers

[Crash]

Bloody hell that was soooo easy!

[Nepia]

Laumape looks quicker than Fatty.

Nice try, great kick from BB.

[Stargazer]

Great try! BB, Bus and Mini bus.

[Gunner]

Fuck sakes, these guys can pull tries from their arses can't they?

Under the sticks, can they get the conversion???? Yes.

[taniwharugby]

cruel old game!

[dingo]

Was Jules onside for the kick?

He looks slow???

[KiwiMurph]

@dingo Julian's top end pace hasnt been particularly great since about 2014.

[No Quarter]

Without BB and TJP the 'canes would be a bit shit

Yup, Canes are playing pretty similar to the Chiefs in a lot of ways, lots of mistakes, plenty of dumb shit, but we have BB scoring or creating 4-5 tries per game making us look better then we are.

[taniwharugby]

@No-Quarter I'm cool if he keeps those kinda numbers up in the ABs too

[Tordah]

30 penalties in the game, unbelievable

[taniwharugby]

c'mon, one more try for 17+ thanks!

[dingo]

The 'canes last year were a lot better than this year, with many of the same personnel. its as if this year they just are waiting for BB to do something awesome, whereas last year they knew they had to work their arses off for 80 minutes every game.

[Bovidae]

As long as the Canes play MUCH better next week.

[Crash]

It' almost as if the Canes need to test themselves, but all along they know they can win easily

[antipodean]

penalty, penalty, penalty, cross field kick, penalty, penalty, penalty, cross field kick...

[Stargazer]

The Canes gave away 15 points through ill-discipline; that needs to be better, too.

[cgrant]

Proctor's absence in midfield is a worry ... When is he back ?

[Crucial]

Ha even Nisbo was confused about which Barrett it was...

That's because he's a dumbass. He had only just called BBs name on the ball on the other side of the field. The guys quick but not so quick that 2 seconds later he beams 40 metres away.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Only saw first half, but it was the typical disjointed effort we've come to expect this season, incredible brilliance mixed with lazy shit. Those cross field kicks are absurd. Will be hilarious if the Lions target those, but then BB goes up the guts.

Btw when is BB going to recover from this debilitating injury? He needs to practice kicking, because there ain't no way Jordie will be there against the Lions.

One of my early criticisms of BB was that his vision wasn't very 'wide' tactically. Brilliant at spotting opportunities in front of him but not so much with tactical kicking or passing the ball to weak areas.
He seems to have really grown this part of his game even if overdoing it at the moment. The good thing is that he is quickly recognising a compressed defence or mismatch out wide and not just doing it when its not on or a higher risk.

The final string to his bow I'd like to see more of now is positional kicking into space behind the line and better clearance distance when relieving pressure.

I want perfection dammit!
