Drua v Hurricanes
-
Good win by the Drua. Some Canes players - looking at Jordie and Savea - need to up their games big time. Sure they carried the team a bit of the last couple of years but their form this year is below par.
Hopefully that's the last we see of IWL for awhile. Lowest IQ player in Super by far and just not that good a player to make up for it.

Well played Drua. Hurricanes lost it by not controlling the game.
I blame Booth, Morgan and Barrett. All very average.
Barrett is so much better at fullback.

Jordie has been such a disappointment at 12 this year. He’s had no impact on this game whatsoever.
Isn't getting the benefit of Foster's great coaching.

Not really a 12s role, put him in 10 if you want him to control it. But yes he was average

If you enjoy seeing terrible skills, sure it was a good watch. New Zealand rugby went through a period where our players played with low tactical nous but had good skills. Now we just play brain-dead rugby without any sort of skill to go along with it.

Shows how well the Blues played last week to blunt the Drua flair and slow the game down completely. The Canes didn't follow the blueprint and got caught playing the Drua at their own game.
A well deserved win for the Drua, proving what a nightmare playing in Fiji is.

Yeah I have been thinking something similar but didn't want to say it yet. Jordie hasn't exactly played like he is the best 12 in NZ. But then, neither has anybody else.

Lol why is Justin Marshall acting like the Canes are the first Kiwi side to get toppled in Fiji?
Did the Crusaders losing there not count?

It’s a bit like Ioane at 13, he’s a better winger but who the hell else is anywhere near as good. Cos overall he’s average, international wise. We need to transplant Nonu and Smiths brains into Jordie and Ioane!

This a bigger win for Dura they beat a pretty strong Canes team.The Crusaders rested a heap of players in their loss.

They still lost. And Marshall is still a twat.

FD deserved winner.
IWL has been looking good until this game Naholo was another who I wanted to shine but not be be. Booth and Morgan are both limited and stayed true to form in this game
Next week might be our only win from now on. Unless Cameron makes a return which seems about a nil likelihood.
I felt confident after last week. When will I learn

So did the Canes Mate with a stronger team, this loss will hurt the Canes come play offs.

@Chris Regardless, it still goes down in history as a Drua victory. They weren't the ones who picked the Crusaders side that day.
No shame in losing to them over there either. It's a fixture you hope to avoid on the calendar.

The Crusaders loss in Drua could also hurt when it comes to playoff seeding.

Not arguing that just saying this game was a better win for the Dura against a stronger team rolled out against them.
