@Dice

I don’t mind it, but Evans was way worse - he was literally on his tip toes leaning on the player as he made the turnover. That lack of consistency is annoying.

Stargazer

Commentator called it an entertaining game. Hmmm.

The game isn't going anywhere. Both sides seem to lack direction. Attacks leading to nothing.

Jordie is about the only positive for the Canes.

Canes4life

The worrying thing for the Canes is our line out and our inability to create much on attack. It baffles me that we aren’t using Laumape more on the crash ball.

I would like to see Aso come on at centre to give our attack some firepower.

Stargazer

@Canes4life Laumape tried a few times, but Jags seemed to expect it. They immediately had one or two men on him.

Scrum is going well.

Yeah scrum going better than expected, Jordie playing well, and JGB at least hasn't shat the bed at ten! But I get the feeling were hanging on, not the jags. Hope I'm wrong

Stargazer

I still have to be convinced that Aumua is better than Riccitelli.

Stargazer

Goosen does a Blackwell, and Laumape can't catch the ball. Such a wasted opportunity, but fortunately the Canes win the following scrum.

Ugh that was God awful by canes. Then a push over scrum penalty on 22!

Canes4life

@Stargazer well he can scrum for one, he carries the ball better, just needs to work on his line out throwing.

Stargazer

Was that Fifita again with the no-arms tackle?

Canes4life

Fifita is the dumbest player in world rugby.

Stargazer

@Canes4life A liability. One day, he's going to get a red card.

Clueless on attack there

Stargazer

I've been watching Laumape. His runs are too short to be powerful enough to bash that Jaguares defensive line. He can't get through.

gt12

Canes got screwed there, should have got a penalty three phases earlier.

Stargazer

In touch! No try.

@Stargazer they've all been getting the ball static.

Try jags, TMO checking, Jordie does a beaudy, gets his foot out!

Stargazer

The best player is now off the field. Aso has replaced Jordie.

gt12

Btw, why do they still have Proctor out there?

He looks like a development player at best.

And another penalty Vs walker, jags going for the 7

Canes4life

@gt12 probably because he is a development player. He’s not ready for this level yet.

Lovely maul try for jags, kirifi came in the side of the maul twice, so they had penalty advantage. 23-12

gt12

@Canes4life

That’s why I don’t get why they didnt whistle him off and put Aso at center with Laumape.

It’s true that his defense is a bit suspect, but he brings a good combination and speed on attack, which they’ll need now.

Anyway, now hopefully Proctor will score and make me look stupid.

Oh a lion's type tackling player in the air penalty, whilst jumping for a pass

TJ over the line, admits to ref he didn't get it down, scrum 5

gt12

Should have been a YC to the shithead Jags player who took of Ben Lams boot and threw it away in back play. That’s cheap and should be punished.

Canes4life

The Jags have been doing off the ball shit all game.

@Canes4life said in Jaguares v Hurricanes:

The Jags have been doing off the ball shit all game.

And soccer diving, ref even called the nine out for'simulation' lol

Stargazer

That's what you get with a soft ref who says "please, please" when he asks Creevy to change things in their defence. Just tell them!

Stargazer

Haha, smart from TJP. Fidow scores.

Stargazer

Flanders on for Kirifi. I assume Evans will go to 7.

Stargazer

Booth is on, too.

Stargazer

Hadn't seen Riccitelli come on.

Stargazer

Fletcher Smith on for Proctor.

Canes4life

How did they miss the blatant knock on from the Jaguares? Woeful.
