Rebels v Hurricanes

[antipodean]

<p>How the fuck is that a penalty?</p>

[No Quarter]

Love the aggressive defense leading up to the intercept.

[Higgins]

<p>Try to Barrett after a timely interception running it in from about fifty yards. Hurricanes 19 - 08 Rebels 29 minutes gone</p>

<p>BB! Vision and pace. Too easy.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Great intercept try from Beauden Barrett!</p>

[dingo]

<p>The 'canes lack of proper locks to take the restart is killing them.</p>

<p>I am also mystified. The ball appeared to be out of the ruck. just sitting there waiting for the Rebels halfback to pick it up and the Canes blindside flanker stepped through the loose pileup, starting form a perfectly legitimate onside position.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Another palpable case of a Rebels player joining a maul from well in front of the hindmost foot goes missed by all the officials, but not by me.</p>

[dingo]

<p>are A Savea and J Savea really brothers?  One a forward, one a back, and yet looking at their physical condition, such different attitudes to training!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice, try to woodward but big steup from the J Savea battering ram.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>The Bus gathers in a clever kick pass from Barrett and from the ensuing tackle situation ( J Savea brought down very close to the tryline) Woodward scoops up the ball and scores in the left hand corner Canes 26 - 08 Rebels after Barrett converts. Just a couple of minutes until halftime.</p>

[No Quarter]

Woodward is playing a blinder at the moment.

[KiwiMurph]

Yep Woodward might keep that 15 jersey.

The Canes back 3 looking pretty good tonight. Much improved. <br><br>
Barrett playing very well and TJP's service good. <br><br>
Love the aggression at the ball and the rush defence by the Canes.

<p>I hope Mark Abbott will be back from injury in time for their SA tour.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Northland first five Dan Hawkins has come on as an impact player for the Rebels four minutes into the second half. Goodness if that is all they have got up their sleeve then they are in serious trouble</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Abbot is back and available now and is sitting on the Canes bench tonight.</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Looks like J Savea is finally getting back into form.

[Siam]

<p>McMahon should get a week for that otherwise we head to wendyball street</p>

[No Quarter]

Rebels player touched it but Jane should have caught it regardless. Try butchered.

Far too much refereeing coming from both sides tonight.
