Match thread

As much as the Canes are good, the Landers are equally shite

jimmyb

Might just turn this off and put the Ranfurly shield game on

Canes4life

Love has been really tidy at 10 tonight.

Kick and hope sums up where the landers are at

Bones

Would really love to know what's going on with FF. He's a much better player than what he's showing this year.

Tim

Highlanders didn't release tackler before that penalty.

well done Jack Taylor..... enjoying his development as a player ... possible future capt imo

Bones

It's clear as daylight how Lennox is at least trying to clear the ball quicker

Why kick adv ball away 10m from the line???

jimmyb

Convinced you have to fail an IQ test to get into the Highlanders squad

Bones

Dumb, but fuck all force, penalty only

Canes4life

That’s dumb and to do it on Dearns, even dumber.

So brainless the ruck was well and truly lost

Bones

It'll be upgraded to red, if it was a crusader he'd be promoted to prime minister

Tim

Shoulder to head. Just needless, dirty play. Should be a red.

ffs that is the sort of dumb, needless bullshit that makes the AB coaches go ... no thanks....

just so unnecessary

Tim

The late, free-hit "clean-out" from a defender at the ruck is something that needs to be eliminated.

Bones

Love for fullback please

frugby

SuperCoach ain’t the one. It is so predictable. I’m done.

jimmyb

That was slick and way too easy

Canes4life

Superb rugby by the Canes. Patience personified.

One of these teams is a Super rugby team.....the other was in 2015

jimmyb

Great impact by Cribb so far, for the Hurricanes that is

Yeetyaah

Wowee the Canes are looking smooth

jimmyb

Shit by TT and Tangitau in defence there

Canes4life

Take a bow Love. What a performance.

Tim

Impressive support play tonight from Hurricanes.

Glad to see Love back playing at 10.

SouthernMann

This always had the potential to be our hiding game.

Just didappointing it happened in front of a home crowd which will impact future gates

Canes fans shouldn't under estimate how crap our landers are..... this is probably the most insipid performance in a couple of years..

Tim

@jimmyb Coming into the match their squad looked seriously depleted, especially at lock, so this result wasn't unexpected.

frugby

@jimmyb The blame lies squarely at the feet of the head coach. Buck stops there. He’s been in the job a year and a half now and we have gone NOWHERE.

People pouring out the ground early. Borderline toxic. I don’t enjoy watching this team.

I’m afraid he is stubborn and has his favourites and that is why he isnt the All Blacks coach
