Stoked Fifita is on the flank. That is his best position and hope he rips it up there.
Actually that backrow is pretty damn nice.

woulda been tempted to give Lam a run at 14 over Goosen.
Yep. Goosens did some great things back in the earlier rounds but has been pants ever since. Lam looked bloody good when he came on last week.
At the risk of incurring Siam's wrath, I'd still prefer the centres pushed out one spot, i.e. Jordie, Laumape and then Asdo on the wing.
Jordie in after a great pass from Mr T.
Bumper crowd....
BB a late withdrawal apparently. Boychild gets his chance.
This ref is shit. Wtf was wrong with that? Ardie drove through fair and square.
Mmmmm cheerleaders.

Ref is fine. We are just giving away penalty after penalty for dumb shit. It's a shame because the Bulls cant tackle.
No, that was a ridiculous penalty.
Nice try to Goose.
Boychild back on btw.

Wasn't against Ardie I think.
Hurricanes defence of the maul has been absolutely unbelievable. So good to watch. Stupid Bulls don't learn and always choose the linneout option only to get mullered again. Idiots

Canes have a good sized forward pack on the park today to be disruptive. Big locks and backrow with Fifita, Shields and of course the biggest openside in rugby since Burger, Ardie Savea.
Oh, no, please, not another case of concussion!
Hurricanes first five Beauden Barrett's late withdrawal due to headaches, saw Otere Black wear the No.10 jersey and the latter added three conversions and a penalty to keep the Bulls at bay.
Boyd said the source of Barrett's head aches was still unclear, but he had been withdrawn from the match by the medical team as a precaution.
Barrett left the field at halftime during last weekend's win over the Cheetahs in Wellington, passed a concussion test and had shown no symptoms until the team landed in Johannesburg.
Although the team doctor was unsure whether his headaches were due to travel, altitude or humidity, it was decided the day before the match to withdraw him from the Bulls match the day before kick off as a precaution.
Barrett had exercised earlier in the week without any issues, Boyd said.

Surely the Bulls would have just spun it wide to use the 5 man overlap the maul created by sucking in defenders.

They're not very bright are they?
THat was some poor defence on Jordies opening try, awesome cut out pass from Shields to Goosen for his...didnt realise the Bulls had won 3 titles haha
Jordie's try was such a beautiful try ruined.
I was 'wow' at the Uhila pass and then 'FFS' at the last line defence. They just butchered the aesthetics.
That Schoeman looks like he belongs back in the era of non-tackling first-fives. He was woeful on about 3 tries.

@Crash Fatialofa is out for the season
Ive read recently that they hope to see him back for the Crusaders match
