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.

IWL is the most shit for brains player I think Ive ever seen in my lifetime. I used to think it was Dion Waller but IWL makes him look like Einstein.

Worst game of Beehre's career

Proctor has been very good tonight. Best game of the season.

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.

I would like to see more of Rova

Looks a quality player

Great win for Canes. We need to get some players back.

Congrats Canes fans

As suspected far too good for the Blues

Not a bad crowd in the end. People were obviously late getting their hotdogs at the start of the game.

Very underwhelmed with Darry in this game.

He has literally been the only one imposing himself on the game in many highlanders games.

Strangest take in a while

Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw you fellas back here for the big dance.

Classy words from Harkin

Hopefully Tuipulotu will be back next week.

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.

hurricane have a great ability to score of every chance they get. there hit rate would be miles ahead of any other team

All Blacks really missed out on a world class locking talent in Dearns.

@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.

Canes are executing well in opposition half. Have to hand it to Roigard and Love.

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.

Willingness. He was shirking big time

Zarn was impressive in a well beaten team

Based on the last 20mins I saw, I would not mind seeing an ABs backline of:
9. Roigard
10. Love
11. Tangitau
12. Tupaea
13. Proctor
14. Jordan
15. J Barrett

It's a pity he only fires if he gets a shove from the opposition, his game really lifts, more accuracy than he's had in ages.

JB can't even nail the position he's playing, let's not do that.

I'd even prefer Jordan there.

Clarke is playing awesome rugby as well. Don’t drop him now he’s come good.

JB is leading the comp in try assists isn’t he? Or close to it. He was v v good for Leinster at the back and it’s a position that suits his skill set better. Plus he’s one of the few backs that can actually pass (aside from the dip shit stuff today)
