Hurricanes v Blues

[Yeetyaah]

Probably a non issue for you guys but holy shit I cringe at Nisbo and his pronunciation. What's the purpose of Mana Moana celebration for the Canes if the guy who is payed to say their names can't even say them properly.

We're doing well to be only 5 down at this stage, given how much ball they have run at us.

The last 20 though, is going to be ugly

Gawd the difference between beaudy and Fletcher Smith

[kiwiinmelb]

Have the blues played one good game on Nz soil this year ?

The overseas specialists

That said he just out sprinted Ioane!

Blues losing in the possession, territory and set piece stakes. Need to lift their game quickly.

They are fucked.

[kiwiinmelb]

If there is a positive, it’s only 5 points

[Machpants]

Canes are playing a bit like saders last night, dominating but being so inaccurate letting them off the hook for the first 20

[Yeetyaah]

Dumb kick from Laumape

[nzzp]

41 tackles to 9. Good defence from teh Blues, but it's going to cost us later.

[nzzp]

Great kick from Otere

Very much. Less than 50-50 offloads, passes going to ground, silly penalties.

Cory Jane right, calm down

[Tim]

Scrappy stuff so far.

At least that has slowed the game down. Not much continuity in the last 15mins

[gt12]

Blues have done very well to stay in this - they need a bit of ball.

[westcoastie]

christ that lineout was almost at 30deg toward the Blues.

[nzzp]

@westcoastie yep, they jus tdon't seem to call them. Thought the same thing

[nzzp]

Tough call when you go to ground. If it's a maul, you can't collapse... modern rugby laws eh
