Fijian Drua vs Hurricanes

@Canes4life

The way they've kept their structure has been really impressive.

[mikey07]

What next one goes how we’ve conceded 2 penalty since the card.. good officiating Williams NOT.

[antipodean]

Canes looking like the real deal in this competition. Are they the 2024 version of the 2023 Chiefs?

[Canes4life]

Beautiful from Delany. Man he's playing well.

[Machpants]

Deoaney sacked that, but was ok cos he was on the ball?

[mikey07]

Is IWL not coming back? Longest yellow ever

He's been back for a bit now

[Runt]

@mikey07 I thought it was good that he made it clear to Shields that the two stand alone offences did not alter the overall penalty pressure and re-put the Hurricanes on a warning. Foul play and a professional foul treated separately seems fair?

Yeah, fair and can't complain. I don't really agree with yellows for repeated infringements but if they are given, it was deserved today.

[mikey07]

@Runt Then what’s the point in carding us for ill discipline then if the card doesn’t release the pressure.

[Machpants]

Shields had been a Trojan, well done

[antipodean]

Has playing in the NH done wonders for Shields? Who was coaching him?

[mikey07]

Drua should be on a warning for repeat offending if he’s consistent.

It was for a pro foul and a high tackle. Nothing to do with how many other penalties we had conceded.

Ultimate kiss of death as he got yellow carded straight after!

[KiwiMurph]

Numia excellent from the bench.

[Machpants]

Awesome work, never would have guessed that after the rest of the half lol

[Victor Meldrew]

Canes going for another try at 81 minutes...

...and get it

[mikey07]

@hydro11 I’m not arguing Kirifis card. So if IWL didn’t do what he did and there was another penalty there wouldn’t be a card? I’m struggling to understand how the card wasn’t enough to punish them for the repeat infringements.

[MajorRage]

Canes may just be the real deal.

Barrett's penalty was class. Decision to take and then nailing it. Excellent game management.

After all that, they won the second half 10-8, but lost the penalty count about 13-2!
