Game of 2 halves. You guys dominated the 1st, they dominated the 2nd.
The wind wasn't really an advantage outside of kicking.
Never usually is at this time of the year as ball in hand is the name of the game.

@KiwiMurph Canes will improve. They were very good in the first half, just erred in the second
Of course the Canes will improve, for two sides with so many players out I thought the footy was bloody good tonight.
I thought when Walker-Leawere went off the Canes that was a bit of a turning point for the Canes. Plummer was definitely a drop down and we lost a few crucial lineouts because of it.
Was a bit weird. Things just seemed to stop happening. Godfrey was not perfect, but he at least had some spark. Everything was static off Hohepa.

Doesn't get much easier with the Drua next week, followed by the Blues at home. Ideally it would be nice to win both of those.

As a neutral, that was an entertaining game, well reffed for the most part.
Pleased to have rugby back.

You'll smoke the Drua at home next week. The Drua don't travel well.

Wheeler is such a knob.
I wish we had some decent commentary and analysis
I don't bother watching anything but the game. It's painful to listen to.

Yup just tune in before kickoff and then turn it away straight after the final whistle.

Why was I supporting the Sith?

Says a lot about the quality of Sky when they decide Wheeler is suitable as a pundit

You always do, don't you?
No ... I think I was supporting the underdog. But in what world we're those guys the underdog. Maybe I felt sorry for Rob Penney. And I had Reece in my Fantasy team ...

On the subject of the coverage., how shit was that segment just after half when Nisbo and Mashall interviewing Penney while the Hurricanes attacked?
Here's a thought: "Hang on Rob, we'll get back to you ... "

Dude what were you smoking, canes ewre always on a hiding. Vs saders at home with a grand total of one AB (one tenth the caps)? Supported the wrong side if you were going for the dogs!

Exactly my point ... I think I still have sympathy from last year ...

@Tim said in Crusaders vs Hurricanes:
Roigard's kicking was really poor. His clearance and decision making was slow, and he provided no leadership or structure in the 2nd half.
Not looking good for Hurricanes. Might miss playoffs.
First game
Another fine analysis. -
