@canefan said in Sunwolves vs Hurricanes:

I reckon we could win this if we stopped dropping the pill and making stupid mistakes, stating the obvious

Sunwolves don't have a good defence. Don't do grubber kicks on attack and try to score in the corner from a miracle play. We should be able to graft it over. They are punishing our mistakes in midfield and deserve to be ahead but we should get up in the second half.

@Tim It's Ken Laban.

I wish I hadnt had to work late, as I’d have been at this game.

I know one 10 who desperately needs an NZ province to come offer a contract (and a Japanese club to release him).

@gt12 The Canes have room for a 10 next season if they aren't stupid enough to re-sign JGB.

@Stargazer

Um, he could probably start at the Chiefs.

@gt12 the Chiefs will only have a spot for a 10, if they don't re-sign Falcon, or Mmac or Debreczeni if they are off-contract at the end of the season (their contract duration has not been published as far as I know). IMHO they should re-sign Falcon, at least for another season.

Edited to add that the Highlanders also need a good 10, and both Josh Ioane and Marty Banks are off-contract at the end of the season. Parker is an Otago boy, but may hold a grudge for being overlooked by the Landers.

Kicking game has been shocking.

Impossible not to score the try then, but somehow the Hurricanes find a way to butcher it!

So if James Marshall replaces Ben Lam, will he play on the wing or will Tiatia move?

We must have the worst maul in the competition, especially with no Ardie there. I don't know why we even bother.

@hydro11 Missing Evans also doesn't help.

Is anyone making lineout calls or is it just a case of hiff and hope as not much thought seems to be being used.

Geez, and now Ken Laban calls Ben Lam 'Ben May'.

@Stargazer Close enough haha

Great try goes uncoverted.

23 - 15 Sunwolves. Eight points.

@Stargazer LOL. I thought I must've been imagining that!

Read that brilliantly. Excellent defence.

An awful passage of play. Aimless kicking galore.

How many more games do we have to play without Beaudy this season? Hopefully only 1.

It's one point game now!
