Hurricanes v Blues (pre-season)

[Tim]

Set piece and kicking could do with some work.

[gt12]

RTS watch: He looks pretty confident on defense - he’s really communicating with others and constantly talking. On attack I think Ive only seen two passes so far.

[KiwiMurph]

@gt12 he had one run but just trucked it up.

[Tim]

Is the wind blowing down or across the field?

[cgrant]

I did not expect the Canes to be so dominant up front. Even their scrum is holding its own. That Lakai looks to be a big unit.

[gt12]

Short carry there too.

[Tim]

@gt12 Not great conditions for a stepper!

[mikey07]

Wow Blues going for 3

[Steven Harris]

@stargazer both number 8s looking good

[Tim]

@mikey07 Conversion.

[Canes4life]

Hurricanes currently leading 14-0 with a penalty try resulting from a driving maul close to their line. Second try was similar but the Canes scored from it. Ruben Love controlling things nicely and putting the Canes in the right areas of the park.

As I write this, the Blues get a driving maul of their own and it’s 14-7.

[cgrant]

Good reaction by the Blues.

[Steven Harris]

Been pretty dry in Wellington looking around those embankments

[mikey07]

@tim 😂didn’t even see them score too busy getting harassed by my toddler 😂

[mikey07]

@steven-harris this is the first consistent rain we’ve had in months

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris Yep, from 30 degrees to 13 in a matter of two days, too.

[cgrant]

Ruben Love is having a blinder.

[Canes4life]

Lol Jackson Garden-Bachop comes on and spills it with the Hurricanes hot on attack. Typical.

[SBW1]

@cgrant How is RTS tracking?

[Canes4life]

@sbw1 hasn’t done too much, but probably not a backs sort of day today tbh. He’s been solid but has been comfortably dealt with so far.
