Canes vs Lions

Siam

They might have to go golden oldies scrums due to the ground cutting up

Canes survive a sustained Lions onslaught on their own line. Fatialofa brilliant steal. Great defence Canes Keep it up

Crash

Lions won't be denied this time. Try. Conversion wide. 17-36 Canes. Another thrilling finish on the cards?

back in BP range as Aso scores after a turnover and a Coles run

Coles is like an 2nd five sometimes, greta set up try there

Crash

Coles! A ton of pace sees Coles burst through some weak defence, offloads perfectly to Aso who scoots in under the bar! Beaudy converts. 17-43 Canes
Cut away to a shot of Plumtree who is chuckling away and loving it.

Shame TTT isn't in the 23 - quite interested in that lad...as Gibson Park sets up the Bus

Tordah

great work Gibson-Park (whoops) from a retreating scrum to put Savea Sr in for his 2nd

Crash

Savea Snr in again! A determined break from Gibson-Park - who delays a perfectly timed pass to Savea and the Bus given space will always score..Conversion good. 17-50 Canes

No injuries please.

Super rugby is becoming a bit of a joke I must say. Best Australian team loses to worst NZ team. One of the supposedly better SA sides getting handed their asses at home.

Crash

And....after a messy finish..its all over. Canes win 17-50. Very impressive performance by Canes, very impressed with their line-speed and fitness levels.
Savea Snr looking better with each week that passes.
Fatialofa is a beast. 
We'd better wrap Coles in protective foil.

Siam

Hurricanes get the same score as Kane Williamson :)

Tordah

whatever happened in that abberation in the first week against the Brumbies? To either team? One turns out to be pretty shit, the other one pretty decent

mimic

hurricanes havent lost to a south african team since round 3 2014 (according to after match interview)

6 teams for SA was always too many. 5 for Aust is too. Shame really

Shows how strong the NZ teams are in comparison doesn't it? 
I think I said before the comp started that it was possible that the Blues could have a season of playing well but not making the post regular games solely because of the strength of the other kiwi sides and it is proving correct. Put the Blues into another conference and they would be in playoffs contention.

No Quarter

Fuck what a hiding. I only caught the highlights so difficult to tell who our best players were, but Coles is a dead set legend. Can't think of another hooker in world rugby that comes close at the moment, he will be a key player for the ABs this year. 
The 3 mauls they showed on the highlights package were confusing as fuck. In all 3 the ref clearly calls "Use it white". The Lions then don't use it and the ref doesn't blow it up. In fact twice he ended up awarding the Lions penalties after they disintergrated. Am I missing something there? 
Very happy with the win. After two 1 point loses to the Landers and Chiefs we have to make sure we take the points against overseas opposition.
