Hurricanes team named:
-
7-7 after 18mins
Haven't been watching.. missed both tries
-
Canes right wing Soloman looks fast
He chipped ahead and got taken out late. YC Chiefs and the Canes score from the next play
12-7
-
Paongo with a break and then back inside to Solomon and the Canes score under the posts
19-7
Probably was obstruction, Paongo ran behind a prop when making the break
-
19-14 at HT
Chiefs almost scored on half time. Plenty of niggle and pushing
-
How is Grady going? This is Cole's brother, think both linking up for Steamers this year
-
Not sure.. I’m only half watching as I work. I’m missing plenty of play

Chiefs attacking lineout on the 22. 5mins left

Canes inside the 22.. Chiefs earn a defensive ruck penalty

Time up. Penalty adv Chiefs
Mathieson with a half break. Pick and goes on the line. Forbes just short
Back for a pen
5m lineout
-
Pick and goes after the lineout
Mitchell scores
Great finish by the Chiefs. Fun game
-
I thought that the Chiefs converted the earlier tries so the score should have been 21-19 not 19-19 at that time.
Brooke Mitchell was in the NZ Schools so does have some pedigree.
The Chiefs will need to work on their lineout. Tupou wasn't great in the NZB game either.
A game that ebbed and flowed but neither team used the wind as well as they should have.

The conversion was short I believe.

OK. It must have only just went under the crossbar then.
The sideline conversion near the end was huge.

Calmness personified. I must say, I thought the kicking was very poor (particularly in play) except from the Canes fullback and from Carpenter.

The wind is always a factor at Owen Delany Park. That high kick that Carpenter dropped was a great tactic.
