Toddy

Good passage of play from the Canes with Bag of hammers in the bin. Excellent slowing down of the game and wasting all the time they can.

Gunner

I know it’s the rules...but...
I don’t get why you can knock it back in the general field of play but as soon as you are in goal it’s suddenly illegal?

Stockcar86

Marshall looks like meth-head Ben Stiller

Higgins

How many lineouts have been lost when Aumua has been throwing in tonight. I can recollect at least two (maybe there have been others too?) and we have only been playing for twenty two minutes.

Because you're killing the ball I'd guess, in general play it's still live.

Toddy

Good try. Shit maul defence from the Canes.

He didn’t just knock it back. You can’t knock the ball out any where on the field

Yeah why do they stay bound when obviously going around the side of the mail? Get straight of and neck in front of the opposition, pisses me off no end, trying to spoil rather than compete

Take the 3, I repeat

I love Ardies monster dummy. Made me chuckle out loud.

Enjoying coming around to Ardie, he's become very trustworthy in performance. I went through the same appreciation journey with Ma'a many years ago

Is Jordie the most overrated player since...?

Another fucking brain fart.

Gunner

Canes playing like a bunch of cnuts

Stargazer

@gt12 Or Aumua? That Jaguares' try is due to another terrible line-out throw.

Donsteppa

Presidents grade forwards defend their line more aggressively than that. Very passive.

@Stargazer

Who called that shit?

If they actually had locks, they could just throw to them.

Chris B.

El Capitan Jeronimo de la Fuente?

Bloody hell, he sounds like someone who should be in one of @Mokey 's books!

Higgins

What atrocious touch judging/referreeing. Those Jaguares backs were back barely five metres from the mark and advanced forward right away from that tap penalty. Hang your head in shame you match officials.

No Quarter

Creevy cheated his ass off in that maul.

Higgins

How can a knock on possibly be ruled there when the ball was completely obscured from sight?

Higgins

@No-Quarter said in Hurricanes vs Jaguares:

Creevy cheated his ass off in that maul.

As he has done throughout the entire match. Perhaps he is slightly colourblind and the jerseys look similar in colour to him?

No Quarter

Ardie is going well at 8. He's really come of age as a player, will be an asset to any team at 7 or 8 the way he's playing. AB coaches will be very pleased given our lack of depth in the loosies recently.

Higgins

Hurricanes currently paying $2.45 (Jags @ $1.56). Time to get your money on?

Gunner

Terrible reffing there. The tackler has to get up and come through the gate these days do they not?

antipodean

Ref lets tackler win turnover from offside position.

Stargazer

Remember, this is the same ref that stuffed up in the Crusaders v Sharks game. I don't understand how he managed to get on the SR refereeing panel. He's always been shit; also when officiating M10 Cup.

Donsteppa

“Hot potato hot potato...”

Stargazer

Great try from Laumape!

Higgins

And now a new intrepretation of a knock on?

Higgins

Oh, he has changed his mind and now ruled a clear knock on as a knock on, albeit very belatedly.

Stargazer

Another Canes' line-out that goes wrong.

Higgins

Oh no, yet another lost lineout, thats four for the night in the fifty eight minutes gone so far.

@Stargazer

No doubt, it’s a huge work on for Aumua.

Stargazer

What was Boffelli thinking???

Higgins

A beautifuly impersonation of Alan Hewson there!!!!!

MrDenmore

Aumua was selected as an All Black hooker?? What, was he coached by Anton??

taniwharugby

how the fuck was he considered on his feet!!
