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.

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

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

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

Or not?

Aso is so fun to watch.

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

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.

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

@Stargazer oh yup that’s right.

The SW are so shit.

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

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

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

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

my 40 point margin on super bru looking a tad light

IWL and Taumateine on Blackwell and TJP off.

Come on, I want to see Flanders play!

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

Aumua, Laumape and Aso all awesome....

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.

Hat trick for Van Wyk!

Deion Sanders celebration from Laumape.

“ there is a vacancy on dancing with the stars .....”

Nice work

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

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

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

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?

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.

@KiwiMurph Good games to increase the points differential.

Players of the match, the Laumape/Aso combo.

Gonna miss the Sunwolves, if only for the fact that they make it easy on who to select in fantasy rugby each week.

Picked up Aso and Laumape this week and I'm already way ahead of the guy I'm up against.

Bring on proper round robin next year.

Jarred Adams is bloody quick for a guy who is 130kg+. There were a few times in this game where he is keeping up with the Canes' backs on linebreaks.

@Dice Is he back with Auckland this year? @Nogusta ?

Not the strongest opposition today. But for a team who are without their two best, Superstar players from last season and who lost their coach just before the season, the Hurricanes ain't doing too bad.

@African-Monkey Pretty sure he's back. I remember him signing an extension last year.

@sparky Yup 3 from 4 is a good start especially as they were written off before the start of the year. They have a good culture there and will no doubt be there come playoff time.
