Drua v Hurricanes
-
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.

Jordie has been such a disappointment at 12 this year. He’s had no impact on this game whatsoever.
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.

Maybe but looking at that run home the Canes may have needed this to get a home QF.

Lol I’m not saying we didn’t. Yeah very disappointing, should have kept Roigard on for longer until the game was put to bed. Another masterclass coaching performance from Holland.

The Dura are just a fluffybunny of a team to play in Fiji,They will hurt more teams next year.

@Chris Nah, any non Crusaders fans will tell you that a win over the Crusaders tops anything else in this competition. It's like beating the ABs in international rugby (and yes, I know what you're trying to say).

Fair enough.
But you get what I am saying From a team list perspective.
t as a Crusaders fan I just expect to beat everyone -
@KiwiMurph said in Drua v Hurricanes:
Do Canes have a 3rd halfback that's not TJ? Booth is abysmal this year.
It reminds me of when Phipps used to replace Genia for the Wallabies. The opposition just smiles.
-
What happened to TJ’s swift return from injury? It’s definitely gone quiet.
