I think that’s for his Dunedin club?

Ah makes sense

[antipodean]

Why did Hurley not let that run dead?

[Landers92]

That is some amateur hour stuff from Hurley

[Mattasaurus]

Relentless by the Canes

[Landers92]

I’ve also seen those strip ball cases be ruled as a knock on… grey area for sure

CGB having a brainless game

Du Plessis Kirifi with some LBS close to the line. 2nd try for him

Moorby has got worse as the season had gone on

[Machpants]

Nice work tj

[KiwiMurph]

Nice steal by Holland initially. Not sure how people can't see his talent

[Landers92]

This wind is giving the Highlanders nightmares. Let’s hope we can do similar to the canes in the second half and get some luck go our way to keep this close.

Who can’t exactly ? Especially given the lack of other options ?

I'll say if these were two even teams, reckon you could make an argument that this wind is nearly worth 15 points... the issue is, defensively they are too big and quick for us, and we don't have the kicking talent in the backline to exploit them.

Finn Hurley, I can't question his attitude, energy and endeavour, but he is just so clearly too small. He can't make breaks, and just gets folded despite plenty of effort. A great rugby player, but just too small.

@Machpants it’s blowing a gale mate. Even in the stands shits flying everywhere. No chance getting kick offs tonight. It’s a lottery.

Speaking of kick offs. Ajay just has to send that deep instead of trying to go short.

It definitely looks like the Highlanders are playing into the wind with watching the flight of the ball holding up and blowing back a few metres. Theres no doubting the canes have been playing with the wind.

Hopefully we can capitalize on it

[frugby]

I am serious when I say though, if the Highlanders could nab a converted try straight after half-time, they'd be an outside chance (assuming CGB doesn't get upgraded to a red card)... use the wind properly, and it will be tough for the Canes.

[antipodean]

Had the Canes not scored that last try, you'd have said the Clan had done a good job considering the conditions.

[frugby]

I'd also say, if CGB doesn't get upgraded, and the margin is still 15 points, then I'd roll on Tavatavanawai, JRK and Fakatava once the yellow card expires. Think there is a chance here with our best players on the park...
