Hurricanes v Sharks

Stargazer

Whether the ball was grounded for that second Sharks try is debatable.

Rancid Schnitzel

Wtf Canes? That is piss weak.

Stargazer

He had already released the ball before going into touch, dammit! AR couldn't see that, but the ref could!

Stargazer

Great kick from West leads to a end-to-end try from Aso! Yussss.

Shields showing his range of skills again.

To be fair those kicks are coming down with snow on them.

Canes defence just awful.

They might be re-thinking giving away a home game to Napier...... 🎣

Canes defence just awful.

Savea had been caught out wide three times already, two tries, one penalty.

tackling is abysmal, very blues like

Today was not the day for Canes to start a small #7

Rancid Schnitzel

More holes than Swiss cheese. Theyll ship as many as the Blues at this rate.

Stargazer

The Canes seem to have more problems with South African teams, than NZ teams.

Is it compulsory to defend like mud vs the Sharks?

Machpants

Sharks been good tho, playing to their strengths. Kicking so very good

Ihaia West is just a terrible first-five at this level. Completely not up to it.

Machpants

Yeah West is awful, what on earth are his kick off's trying to achieve?

Stargazer

@hydro11 He was involved in both Canes' tries. Made a try saving tackle before other Canes' players let them in. He's not that bad at all.

Sharks are missing a higher percentage of tackles though according to espn - they have just only had to make half as much.

KiwiJoker

Big men running straight, the Sharks game plan is simple

Bovidae

No comment on JB's defence, or lack of it, for the Sharks first try?

Stargazer

@bovidae No, some prefer to blame West for everything.
