Massive play there from Lam. If the Canes score there the game becomes so much tougher for the Blues.

Fihe found out the hard way there with Lam. Vai made sure Harkin didn’t get him twice as well. Vai’s edge is the clear target for the canes
A good half of rugby. Peter Lakai and Ruben Love looking all class. AJ Lam is having a crack game for the Blues.
It's a massive shame the stadium is so empty.
Scoreline a reasonable reflection of the half. Blues looked like they were in for a hiding in the first 10mins.
Tellingly, the Blues rookie backrowers are being well outplayed. Blues structure not evident and their game directors are absent. Christie in particular - passing to players flat footed with no support. Fuck he's useless.
Zarn and Lam are very visible.
@Steven-Harris Peter Lakai.

Three turnovers lost by Jordie Barrett. Yuk!
Two of those would have been throwing the ball infield while being bundled out.
An entertaining game for a neutral.

Who has had the biggest influence in the first 40 ?
BB should’nt even be on the graphic
Devan Flanders has been huge for the Canes again.
AJ Lam is much better suited to 13 in my opinion. Does well in 12 but even better in 13. A real shame he’s leaving

I dunno....negative influence is influence....
@Tim said in Hurricanes vs Blues:
Real pity that Lam and Fineanganofo are leaving. Both would look good in black.
So pick them anyway and change the rules

All aboard the bandwagon for Flanders at 6 for the ABs. Though soemthing makes me think he’d be a better 8
@KiwiMurph problem is in the case of Fineanganofo he’s signed a contract thats probably worth 3 -4 times what he’s on atm
NZ Rugby would need to buy his contract out
He’s in a real purple patch atm but let’s not forget at International level he will get a ton of box kicks heading his way I have not seen enough of that area of his game

I wouldn’t be against that to be honest. Has all the skills in the world and seems to have come of age.

How hard is it to kick it in the field of play
Love has recognised what he needs to do for higher honours
@brodean said in Hurricanes vs Blues:
I don't think the Blues knocked that on for that scrum so that was an unlucky call.
You've been quiet
Barnes is surprisingly quick off the mark.
Him and Flanders really need to get time in camp at the very least.

Mint game from Numia
The ABs stocks at loosehead prop are stacked......
