Blues depth exposed tonight. We'll need a good run with injuries in the playoffs.
Hurricanes big favourites.

Blues reserve front row not up to it.
Losing two loosehead props to injury meant that Tu'ungufasi had to switch sides, so we are short on props again.
Blues being second on the table was more of a statement on the quality of the season than anything the Blues have done. Theyve been pretty mediocre

Love’s passing from 10 is exceptional.
Moves ahead of Barrett easily
@Bones said in Hurricanes vs Blues:
In a very dominant team, JB has been pretty substandard.
He’s been our worst back IMO.

Enari is on. There’s still time

Super Rugby's lack of player depth has been pretty clear this season. Needs a big injection of cash, but I don't see where it could come from.

By some distance.
As a highlanders fan, I feel a lot better about the 50 the canes put on us a few weeks back after this result lol

Cmon Rennie show some stones and put Love at 10
Love at 10, Tupaea at 12, Tangitau at 14

You should start looking forward to Eden Park on Friday

Beauden barrett really should be nowhere near the all blacks this season
No, the rest of the blues need to step up to his level. He's doing great things but they just look shit because of everyone else.
Izzy Walker Leawere is the biggest piston wristed gibbon in rugby.
Laidlaw please drop the fluffybunny
If he's contracted to the Canes next season, SR should start them on the table at -4 points.
@Canes4life 100% why we aren’t giving the likes of Allen game time instead of him is beyond me.

Not sure about Tangitau yet. Pace to burn but he doesn’t impose himself on the game like the top wingers do.
Canes really should break 50 against this second XV rabble. They've certainly outclassed them enough.

@KiwiMurph He and Darry have been playing big minutes with McWhannell and Tuipulotu out.

Two yellow cards probably stuffed it tbh.
