Jaguares v Hurricanes

[Machpants]

Because of walker took it, try time. Quick inter pass between forwards in pods has been NZ way for a while

[Stargazer]

@Machpants This was not the right situation to do that though. There was already a man right in front of IWL. Blackwell should have held onto the ball. But I get it, you have your anti-IWL hat on today.

[canefan]

Score please?

[Machpants]

10-9 to jags

[Stargazer]

@canefan Jaguares 10 - 9 Hurricanes

[Canes4life]

@Machpants don’t you mean 13? 😂

[Machpants]

@Canes4life yeah DOH, and he missed!

[Dice]

I actually like that call by Rasta on Kirifi. Kirifi gets away with leaning on the player on the ground all the time when he goes for turnovers.

Lots of players do, and it was the right call

@Dice

I don’t mind it, but Evans was way worse - he was literally on his tip toes leaning on the player as he made the turnover. That lack of consistency is annoying.

Dour

[Stargazer]

Commentator called it an entertaining game. Hmmm.

The game isn't going anywhere. Both sides seem to lack direction. Attacks leading to nothing.

Jordie is about the only positive for the Canes.

[Canes4life]

The worrying thing for the Canes is our line out and our inability to create much on attack. It baffles me that we aren’t using Laumape more on the crash ball.

I would like to see Aso come on at centre to give our attack some firepower.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Laumape tried a few times, but Jags seemed to expect it. They immediately had one or two men on him.

Scrum is going well.

[Machpants]

Yeah scrum going better than expected, Jordie playing well, and JGB at least hasn't shat the bed at ten! But I get the feeling were hanging on, not the jags. Hope I'm wrong

[Stargazer]

I still have to be convinced that Aumua is better than Riccitelli.

[Machpants]

13-9

[Stargazer]

Goosen does a Blackwell, and Laumape can't catch the ball. Such a wasted opportunity, but fortunately the Canes win the following scrum.

[Machpants]

Ugh that was God awful by canes. Then a push over scrum penalty on 22!

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer well he can scrum for one, he carries the ball better, just needs to work on his line out throwing.
