Missed last 15 minutes. Tahs coming apart? Canes breaking them apart?
Yeah Canes have been very clinical.
As I say that Jordie throws a stupid pass.

Game has lost all flow
I’ve noticed that with Dolemans games. Just doesn’t strike me as a confident referee. I won’t knock him too hard as it’s not an easy job but shit he isn’t making it easy

Haha yeah, that was like something I would throw, with the way it curved.

He's rubbish. The Kiwi Damon Murphy

The tahs falling apart. Yikes
Canes have been very good tonight. Harkin player of the match for me.
Did someone stop the clock for 10 mins. Feels like this half has been going on forever.
IWL has come good, had a stink first 20 mins.
Waratahs tackling has been awful at 78%. Hurricanes terrible set piece has been let off the hook with that

They’ll need to be a lot better come playoff time with their throwing. Devery has been so much better since coming on.

Must be nice being able to assume your team will
Make the playoffs!

Sorry that should have been if. But my sentiment remains the same. You can’t throw like that and expect to win big games.

Only joking. Can’t win on a 64% lineout and 80% scrum. A lot of kiwi teams are struggling with consistency at the set piece which is v concerning
Very happy with that performance and no new injuries.
Should get Lomax, Naholo, Higgins and Delany back next week as well.
Harkin, Lakai and Proctor (aside from the interception) were all very good.
Roigard hasn’t even done anything yet which shows the Canes are in a good space.
Of course, he has played only one game at 1st Five but Harkin looks like he's the best in NZ in this position. Speed, good hands, safe under the high balls and very long kicking from hand. He seems to have all the attributes. I don't know much about his goalkicking though.
A few dumb actions aside (as usual), IWL was outstanding IMO. His physicality is a big asset for the Canes front five. Flanders was also very good.

Well his kick won Wellington the NPC in 2024. Not a bad kicker at all.
I kind of hope we don’t move Harkin out of 10 now but I’m sure Laidlaw will once Love comes back.
