amateur hour out there...canes not looking like contenders presently.
We have flattered to deceive all season
There's only been one rather vocal over-confident Canes fan on here this year. The rest of us can see we are not gelling like we have in previous years, despite our remarkably good win/loss ratio. We've been lucky to scrape by a number of times. Credit to the Jags they were miles ahead of us tonight.

That was entertaining:)
Without reading the thread I’m guessing the ref is at fault according to everyone on here
He did not help but the Hurricanes were so far removed skill wise from what you expect to see from fulltime professional players there would be a good chance of a prosecution under the Trades Description Act succeeding if they advertised that as a professional rugby match.

Same as last year. We get by with moments of brilliance but underneath it all our pack are journeymen at best (except for Ardie and Dane)

@Stargazer tbf with the roster they have had, they should be turning us over more.
BUt as you say, hopefully they realise thier potential and kick on to win the SA pool

Geez, that was painful to watch. And I'm not even a 'Canes supporter

Those Jordie Barrett fans still pumping for him to cover 10 in the ABs?
When SBW did that in goal ball kill he at least had an excuse that his league playing instinct took over. Despite that he was pilloried for it. JB has no such excuse except being a dumb ass.
As the ref said 'you took the risk'. He would have been far better making a legal attempt and hoping the Jags player didn't make it. -
Congratulations to the Jaguares, clever tactics to target the Hurricanes where they are weakest: up front.
Jordie Barrett and TJP flapped around under pressure in this game when cool, calm heads were needed. Vaea Fifita is a bigger cause for concern IMHO. When the going gets tough, he gets lazy.

Highlights?
The Canes looked pretty good in the first 60 seconds.
I do enjoy watching the Jaguares backs when they are in full flight

@SammyC doesn't help when he is throwing at midgets.

Geez I hope Ben Smith is fit for the WC after Jordies mare tonight would worry me in a tight contest
It’s arguable that Barrett is the best fullback in the ABs setup. His first name isn’t Jordie however.
Ben Smith is our best right wing

Best 14 & 15
The coaches seems to like having a fullback-ish winger. Jordies shocker really helps a winger like Bridge
