Drua v Hurricanes

[KiwiMurph]

@Duluth field is better than last week.

[KiwiMurph]

So many times Jordie's 'big boot' ends up in a poor kick.

[Winger]

Canes are awful so far

[Duluth]

Canes should be a little concerned about the work they are being asked to do in defence.

Drua have attempted 9 tackles, Canes attempted 61. That could hurt late in the game

[KiwiMurph]

Flanders has had 2 bad missed tackles so far.

I don't understand how he constantly gets selected ahead of the Manawatu loosies

According to the official stats he hasn't missed a tackle yet.

The stats are wrong

He's frustratingly inconsistent. Some weeks he is really good.

[Stargazer]

Most missed tackles accordint to both SANZAAR and ESPN are Aumua and IWL.

I expected he'd have matured into a player that was making a case for higher honours.

[Stargazer]

@antipodean In previous years, he didn't get much game time.

Because he couldn't play more than 50 minutes at Super level without cramping up.

[Stargazer]

@Toddy No, he didn't get game time because Reed Princep wasn't injured.

[KiwiMurph]

Nicely worked there

[Toddy]

@Stargazer They had to play Princep as Flanders couldn't play more than 50 minutes. So was more suited to the bench.

[Stargazer]

@Toddy No, that's plainly not true. They always picked Princep, no matter what. He's the coach's pet.

[Canes4life]

The Drua are just standing on our side of the ruck and the ref is just ignoring it. They are impeding Roigard every single time he tries to get it out.

[Stargazer]

Both Lomax and Naholo now having their ankles strapped. I really hope there won't be a huge injury toll from this game.

Nah Flanders was either injured or always going down with cramp. Pretty sure Flanders was preferred but he was hardly fully fit.
