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.

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

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

Ref lets tackler win turnover from offside position.

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.

“Hot potato hot potato...”

Great try from Laumape!

And now a new intrepretation of a knock on?

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

Another Canes' line-out that goes wrong.

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.

What was Boffelli thinking???

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

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

how the fuck was he considered on his feet!!

Pickerill is the anti hometown.

Jordie can't kick tonight.

@gt12 Is he the same ref who managed the Sharks-Crusaders game? Sack him

@MrDenmore correct

And now Kirifi also does a Alan Hewson. Are these really full time professionals out there in the yellow jerseys?

Jesus Christ, Jordie.

@Higgins Subbed off straight away.

Bloody hell. Another Jags' try.

Canes are going to be extremely lucky to come second tonight.

Can't say the Jaguares don't deserve it. They're the better team tonight.

Bad miss by Laumape.

And now Smith can't find touch. When things go wrong, they go badly wrong.

There was something a little doubtful about that try that possibly gave me the impression that it moght have been a double movement. No replay shown of it so can't investigate my initial impressions.

Canes playing like the Petone Boys High First XV after a big night out.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but bugger the Canes, I’m off to watch the Worriers

Come on Canes; if you can't win, at least go for the bonus point!

And even the replacement hooker adheres to the Creevy offside line interpration as he enters that maul to win the turnover from a cleay offside position.

Canes have been absolute poke tonight. Jags too good.

@MrDenmore I have it on good authority from Ken Laban that Petone's James Blackwell actually attended Wellington College.

amateur hour out there...canes not looking like contenders presently.

Geez I hope Ben Smith is fit for the WC after Jordies mare tonight would worry me in a tight contest

Well that game didn't quite go to plan.

There had better not be a Hurricanes player with a smile on their face during the shaking of hands formalities after this debacle.

Hurricanes have been seven shades of shite in this game. For all the strange refereeing decisions the Argies have looked unbelievably competent in comparison to the muppetry of the Canes.
