Hurricanes vs Bulls

I'll take that, a wins a win. We haven't been smacking teams this year but we do get it done way more often than not.
Saders next week is definitely a bridge too far but overall a pretty decent season.

I'm happy with that. The yellow card did turn the game and let the Bulls back in. We did play some smart rugby and pushed in front through penalty goals but disappointing to let them back in. A few players like Coles seem to be hitting for at the right time. I was a little bit worried about our midfield defence. The Crusaders will be looking at that for next week.

@hydro11 Mr defence himself “Matty Proctor” should be back next week so that should help. I wonder if the Canes will bring Fifita back in.
Oh, didn't realise that. Should make a huge difference.

Hope Proctors back. And Goosen too. Although Goosen seems unlikely. Both are very good defenders. whereas its not a strength of Lam, Umaga-Jensen, Rayasi and even Jordie. Add another in Prinsep and 5 starting against the Crusaders who aren't the best on this front.
I'm not expecting the team to win. The Canes scrum is a bit of a joke. But preventing a hiding. And to do that the team s needs much better defenders. Bringing back Proctor and Fifita would be a good start. Goosen is unlikely but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Looking further ahead I like the look of Toala and Billy Proctor as potentially good defenders. Rayasi needs lots of work but he might get there. And Jordie will get there. But its a shame but for all their attacking qualities I have doubts about UJ and Lam. Lam I've almost given up on now.

@Winger I agree our best chance is to try and keep it close for 60 minutes and then see what happens in the final 20. We aren't going to blow them off the park early so we should select accordingly.
