That looks a fairly weak side for Drua. Several of their best players either not involved or on the bench. Canes will have to wait another week before their first hit out against a strong team.

Reconnaissance mission to Churchill Park completed yesterday and have already staked out the best viewing spots. In reality the word cheapest is more appropriate as I have discovered that at least half a dozen or so kids apparently had been promised by someone else that I would be taking them!!! I have grave fears that that number might raise to upward of thirteen as that's about the number of seats in the minivans that ply their trade between Nadi and Lautoka.

Having so many kids in tow sort of solves the quandary I noticed of not spotting any places you could drop into for a quiet beer or three close to the ground. There must be one or two tucked away somewhere but not really an option available now for a supposedly responsible adult entrusted with kids to look after.

Man these conditions are sub-standard.

Canes4life

Aumua back to his best with his throwing. Ffs. Get it straight. Can’t hookers throw in this competition?

KiwiMurph

2 butchered throws by Aumua - admittedly tough conditions

Canes4life

There’s some real class about Harkin.

Torian

love having Fineanganofo in my fantasy team

KiwiMurph

Very nice play Canes for a try

I swapped him out last minute because of the rain. Argggh

Canes4life

Canes just need to go up the guts in this game.

KiwiMurph

Lakai has started this season very well.

Canes4life

Fehi, Harkin and Lakai the pick of the Canes so far.

Canes4life

Nice hit back after the Drua try. Proctor in under the sticks.

Canes4life

17-13 to the Canes at halftime.

The Canes just need to keep going up the guts and they’ll wear down the Drua. If the Drua can make this game a lolly scramble then they could easily finish over the top of us.

Canes4life

The Canes better not bring Shields on, he’ll 💯 drop the ball.

canefan

Wow that field is a shocker

canefan

Pop passes are suicide in these conditions. Our ball security is poor. Fortunately the Drua aren't much better

canefan

What a massive kick! Did it easy

KiwiMurph

Moorby is so overrated. A decent Super season 5 or so years ago. Absolute journeyman that Canes need to move on from

taniwharugby

Just didn't need to pass it

KiwiMurph

@taniwharugby said in Drua vs Hurricanes:

Just didn't need to pass it

Just like he didnt need to kick it out on the full when Jordie clearly passed it back to him from outside 22 earlier

KiwiMurph

And another Moorby error

canefan

Moorby having a poor game

canefan

The conditions are harming the spectacle.

taniwharugby

Whichever team.opts for smarter plays will win.

taniwharugby

@KiwiMurph yeah is enjoyable enough, just be nice to see someone stand up and own it using thier brains

KiwiMurph

Abysmal decision by Punivai

canefan

This would be a good time for the Canes to steal a scrum.... Ugh

KiwiMurph

Shields not the player to bring on when good handling is required.....

canefan

The Drua looking ascendant

canefan

Our kicking is so aimless

canefan

IWL is a boob
