Blues
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.

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
You should start looking forward to Eden Park on Friday
I wouldn’t go that far haha

Cmon Rennie show some stones and put Love at 10
Love at 10, Tupaea at 12, Tangitau at 14
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.
Not a bad crowd in the end. People were obviously late getting their hotdogs at the start of the game.

He has literally been the only one imposing himself on the game in many highlanders games.
Strangest take in a while
@KiwiMurph said in Hurricanes vs Blues:
Congrats Canes fans
As suspected far too good for the Blues
Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw you fellas back here for the big dance.
Love certainly looks good playing at 10. Form five-eighth in NZ.
Now while he's behind a humming pack and playing with Roigard, he's making good decisions and executing well.
A good match in the first half and then a bit of a statement performance by the Hurricanes in the second half.
Lots still to work and we are a long way from the playoffs, but proud of how the side went in that one.

The Landers basically dont have an attack coach (or at least it doesnt look like it). Tangitau does all he can.
@Canes4life I think we'll see two of the Blues, the Crusaders and the Hurricanes in the final this year.
The Blues will be stronger with some of their injured forwards back.

Yeah it’s hard to know how he would look in other teams - work rate is important for wingers. I think others do more that he does at the moment.

The fuck was Spencer thinking there?
No left foot but still had the chance to clear it.
Well a Canes man would have to be bloody happy with that, well I am anyway! That was pretty good I thought

All he had to do was kick the shit out of it. Anything was better than that dumb option he took.

They're certainly looking good at this stage of the competition. For Canes fans, hopefully they don't get a run of injuries going into the finals.
Next week we'll see what the Chiefs can do who should offer sterner stuff than tonight's Blues.

Wrampling not up to this level so far. Needs to learn how to defend.
Is it technique or willingness?

Willingness. He was shirking big time
