Hurricanes v Chiefs

[ShadowTrooper]

Boshier deserves that. But for that silly intercept.....

[dingo]

Well done chiefs. Enjoyed the game. Surprised you fellas didn't win but I think you know what positions you need to work on to be champions.

Canes, Canes, Canes. Hmmm. Crusaders next week due to the stupid Super Rules even though that Canes v Saders should be a final match.

[ACT Crusader]

Hilarious Chiefs lose by 1 point yet the game was over 10 minutes ago.

[Tim]

How long was Fifita on for?

[Stargazer]

Canes just let that in with some half-hearted defence. It doesn't matter anymore.

Ngatai converts the try and that's his last act in Super Rugby.

[KiwiMurph]

Beautiful pass by Tahuriorangi.

If only he was on earlier...

[MiketheSnow]

Never has the old adage been more apt

A miss (loss by 1 point) is as good as a mile

[Rapido]

The reason I'm not biting my fingernails at this finish is beause the Canes opted for 3 on the 55th minute from a really fucking tough position with this wind.

Feels so strange, why do modern nz teams hate scoreboard pressure until it's finals time?

Beauden is the out-wide wind specialist.

[Gunner]

@stargazer yea that was pathetic defence at that last ruck from the reserve hooker. Came in off his man to put a cheap soft shot on TTT.

[Gunner]

During that interview Sam Cane reminded me a lot of a certain other 7 who did a lot of post match interviews.

Game was over once the Canes scored that final pen

[canefan]

I'm really happy that the Canes fronted and we get to play one more week. Assuming the saders win, they will be red hot favourites but you never know. I reckon it's payback time for the Fog Game

[ShadowTrooper]

@gunner Only THAT 7 WAS SPECIAL, and didn't often lose.....

[dingo]

Nice that canes won but can't seeing them beat saders with or without a mere at stack.

Having said that. If I hadn't known Sam Cane and BBBR were playing I'd say WTF? They were invisible.

[ShadowTrooper]

@rapido Totally agree on the scoreboard pressure

[Toddy]

Canes surprised me. Shame they have to play the top team in the semi's and not the final.

Am surprised at how shit Cane is at the moment. Sure he hasn't played a lot of rugby but still...

[Donsteppa]

A real coulda, shoulda, woulda... ... didn't game for the Chiefs.

Cane will be fine, bugger all rugby in the last three months. Would want him to have another couple of hit outs before the internationals though...

[Tim]

@donsteppa I'm worried that he'll continue this two or three year run of constant injuries.

Don’t worry we have Ardie Savea. Oh hang on...

I think you're (and others in this thread) over playing it - Cane was making a lot of tackles and BBBR carted the ball up lots - they didn't have their best games in the 2nd 40 but they're not as bad as is being made out. They're both a bit under done due to injury - I expect them to be firing for the RC.

Anyway, congrats to the Canes, I'll be rediscovering my old franchise roots for next weekend so make some space on the wagon.
