Hurricanes v Blues

Unsure what to make of this game. Have the Canes improved or was the improvement just due to the Blues defense
One plus was Goosen at center. Laumape was scoring the tries but Goosen defense and ball carrying with the limited chances he got was first rate.

Fucking Tana - it's obvious! Tackle Laumape - stop him scoring tries.
Well, my evening as a Blues supporter was shit. I might not try that again!
Try three years of Tana’s shit selections and lack of accountability.
Look what happened to the Crusaders when you got rid of Blackadder.
There's one very clear path to success....
...follow Nepia and Crucial's example and head for the Crusaders.
It worked for the Hurricanes!
So 6 years later under a different coach is “worked”? 😉
@Kirwan would be better off enticing me to the Blues. The Chiefs hadn’t done anything until I turned up and then bang two in a row.

Us so called fair weather supporters bring our own fair weather.

Thanks a lot Blues, for playing the Canes back into form..... 😡

Nah, I’m a true fan. Got to take the bad times with the good.
It won’t last forever, insert rant about a new board, ceo and coach here.
Good Man!!
You've got to have some principles in Life!
Leon is coming! It will get better.
Hope he leads a coup!
And it can’t get worse, see Duluth’s stat on Blues vs NZ opposition under Tana? 5.3%
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 5.3% can become 5% which is worse 😜

Sounds like you're talking about beer

It can be tough being a canes supporter, consistency has never been their strong point despite the talent they’ve had in their ranks over the years. But when the chips are down and they are in a slump you can take solace by thinking “thank fuck I don’t have the misfortune to support the the blues”.

Yeah, yeah. We’ve won the comp three times, and the Canes?

Oh right, the last time you won there were six less teams then and my son was one . He’s about to start an apprenticeship.

It still counts

Just watched game. Laumape was a beast.
Didn't think the Canes were very good tbh. Line out was a shambles. Scrum was good but too many errors. Still, better than the shit show of last week.
That BB intercept flick to Laumape had me blowing my load.

@rancid-schnitzel Great game plan from Boyd & Plumtree,attack the best left winger in the world that’s playing out of position..it’s does’nt help when your first five went to the Stephen Brett school of defending....
The fact that Tana has played Reiko at 2nd five whenever SBW has been unavailable suggests to me he doesn’t rate any of his midfielders to slot into that position,what I would’nt give to have a Micheal little in the squad..he’s an organiser,and he makes his tackles..another fuck up of epic proportions from Hanks and co.. -
"We knew that the behaviour of the 10, 12 and 13 [Stephen Perofeta, Rieko Ioane and Michael Collins] were such that, if we set up a structure, one of them would bite and that would leave an option for us somewhere else," Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd said after the team's 42-24 win. A rock-steady scrum, bodies in motion and then Laumape running off a short ball didn't just produce tries for him. The rampant Laumape was able to lay on another for wing Julian Savea as well. Just as the Hurricanes had expected. Perofeta is still learning his craft, with and without the ball, at first five-eighth, while there's debate about whether Ioane and Collins might be better left at wing and fullback. "Michael Collins played all his schoolboy football and all his youth football as a 13, so you could argue that he's in his natural position. If you ask me, I'm not sure what Michael's best position is," said Boyd. "And it would be fair to say Ioane is a very good winger, but he's played a lot of his football at centre as well. Not a lot at 12, but we weren't overly unhappy when we saw his name in the teamsheet at 12." -
