Match thread

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

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.

@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

Yeetyaah

Renton ya piston wristed gibbon

This would have happened with Holland and Lavanini at lock. You’re kidding yourself if you think the result would be different. The issue is systemic

You can’t use the excuse of having no locks if your spend the whole season refusing to use them in the first place.

Thank you thank you thank you. The are so incredibly poorly coached. Jospeh is shit as I’ve said all season

that looked pretty innocuous to me......

Yeetyaah

Wonder if Renton cops a ban for that

JJ doesn't have the best cattle .. but I expect better of the team

Higgins

Dislocated shoulder is it?

Canes4life

Respect to Angus for getting up

Well when you have what ever cattle it is for two and a bit years, you expect them to get better, not worse

Joseph isn’t shit - but going backwards doesn’t work.

Angus you fluffy bunny ..glad you are ok . but far too long mucking around

jimmyb

@frugby we’ll disagree on that but the team is incredibly poorly coached. Can we agree on that?

Bones

Oh fuck off, now this week landers get penalised for jumping across, after last week's crusaders shenanigans

If your gonna gift a team like the Canes so much ball on the back of a poor lineout ,shaky scrum and turning the ball over when you are in possession this is what happens
Also just not enough depth with all their injuries not to mention losing Holland their lineout go to guy before the season even starts its gonna be long season for Landers fans
Also their 9 and 10 options are average

jimmyb

That was really good by Barrett, set that up over several phases

Yeetyaah

After dropping Fehi from the fantasy team the fluffybunny scores a hat trick

jimmyb

Barrett is giving TT a bit of a lesson how to play centre as opposed to human wrecking ba

At least you didn’t drop him for Moorby who’s on 3 points. 😂

Scrum aside.... the landers simply haven't competed and more concerningly don't seem that interested .. I'd only give Jack Taylor, and the props a pass

Canes4life

Lakai has been very good this half.

Definitely an 8 and not a 7

Bones

Picking the canes to win this.

This isn’t the gotcha moment you think it is.

It isn’t about being proven right you dingo.
