We can’t have Scrafton and Blackwell together. They are useless on the carry, exactly why IWL should be our first choice lock.

Stargazer

Easy finish from van Wyk. Aso and Laumape are looking great.

Hurricanes U20 leading Blues U20 15-12 at halftime, 2 tries each.

Ref is Rebecca Mahoney.

Some tall timber in the Canes pack - Hugo Plummet, Liam Mitchell, Ofa Tautevalu.

Hurricanes tall or actual tall?

some of your best work.

I'd insert an Ardie joke here, but it'd be a tall tale of some form 😛

KiwiMurph

Van Wyk looks sharp.

Canes4life

Is anyone at the game. Looks fairly hot.

Stargazer

@Canes4life I heard someone say 29 degrees, but that was earlier in the afternoon, I think.

Canes4life

Great scrum from the young front row.

Stargazer

TJP, Laumape and Aso have been awesome. Don't agree with the signing of van Wyk, but he has scored two nice tries. Although it's only the SW, still credit where credit is due.

Stargazer

Fletcher Smith in the mean time kicking his conversions, too.

Canes4life

@Stargazer yeah he has been very good. Creates competition within the squad which can only be a good thing.

Stargazer

Geezzzz, Aso!!! So good! Those offloads!

KiwiMurph

Aso is so fun to watch.

Stargazer

Laumape's pass was forward; still, Aso's offload was awesome.

Canes4life

No surprise on Aso, him and Laumape were doing this in 2017. You have to wonder why it’s taken so long for them to get back together.

Stargazer

@Canes4life Aso has been injured for most, if not all, of the 2019 season. Also large part of 2018 IIRC.

Stargazer

The SW are so shit.

taniwharugby

bit of luck there, but decent finish....this gon' get uglee!

Stargazer

@taniwharugby Better opposition would have punished Aumua for being a ball hog. Should have passed to Lam.

KiwiMurph

Hope Mr Foster is watching. Mr Aumua putting his hand up.

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph I don't think this game will have much impact on AB selections.

taniwharugby

my 40 point margin on super bru looking a tad light

Stargazer

IWL and Taumateine on Blackwell and TJP off.

Stargazer

Come on, I want to see Flanders play!

Canes4life

I would take Laumape and Kirifi off. Both have played big minutes this year.

sparky

Aumua, Laumape and Aso all awesome....

Stargazer

Shit, I'm finally going to turn the commentators off. There's only so much Ken Laban I can handle on one day.

Spot on. Aumua is beginning to look the business. Tyrell Lomax is another Hurricane who should be part of the ABs squad later in the year.

sparky

Hat trick for Van Wyk!

KiwiMurph

Deion Sanders celebration from Laumape.

Nice work

antipodean

Sunwolves can make any team look brilliant with their poor set piece and disinterested defence.

taniwharugby

not sure too much weight will be added to performances today, some very poor play by the SW...despite that try

Canes4life

Yeah it’s more of a training run. You can only play what’s in front of you I guess.

Stargazer

Which other NZ teams play the SWs? Chiefs a few weeks ago. Crusaders in a few weeks in Brisbane. Who else? Or only these three?

Canes4life

This game has gone to the shit in the last 10 mins. No injuries please.

Highlanders do too.

Blues miss out on the free points.
