Worst performance by Jordie I’ve ever seen. He’s been absolutely garbage tonight.

antipodean

Get Barrett off the field ffs. He's having a mare.

KiwiMurph

That slow mo does Jordie no favours

Bones

Jordie with a 3 on 2.....nah fuck that I'm not passing.

canefan

Enari with a lovely grubber, and the cart horse gets a double

Canes4life

Enari is coming good hopefully. His pass has improved.

Bones

Hard to fault Enari's performance so far, he's been great. Possibly behind a better forward pack though.

I'm glad we've finally had a game against the Brumbies that isn't at GIO. In the last 10 years (before tonight) the Canes have played the Brumbies 13 times and only had the home game 3 times. Won all at home and 2 at GIO.

Bones

So Jordie looks a million bucks if he's just catching kicks or kicking.

Or playing the French C team.

That's at least twice Love has coughed up the ball trying to be cute.

Someone should tell him less is more. It would be good advice if he gets picked to play at test level as a 10

He's having fun in a complete blowout. Matters it does not.

canefan

Rova caps off a very good game for the Canes. Reuben nails a tight angle conversion too

Bones

Nice training run, letting that shit show of a brumbies team off the donut is a bit of a downer

Bones

What a fucking horrible interviewer

There is a lot to love about Love's game. Hope he gets a proper shot this year for the ABs.

Unite

If the Super season finished there Love deserves the first start at 10 for the All Blacks this year.

First test at this very venue.

Bones

It was Fehi's third try that was almost a BP intercept. Needs to shelve that over the top ball.

JB says it's very humid inside the stadium. Sounds like an excuse to me 😏

Numia, Aumua and Tosi looking like a front row that could add a lot of impact off the bench at test level. Unsure if Numia could hold up as a scrummager at that level but the rest of his game is awesome.

I thought that too. The black bomb squad!

The Brumbies captain looked like he'd like an indoor stadium too. Make it happen Canberra!

If he does get a start at 10, hopefully it's not outside Christie. That would mean a ranga at 9 and 10. That would be awful.

Numia finally getting back to form of a couple of years ago. Still think he should learn to throw. Heck it's not as bad a shout as a wing covering flanker.

canefan

That jersey looks very sharp.

Dearns has a quality rats tail. Such a shame he's going back to Japan

BerniesCorner

From a business POV mental if NZR don't conjure up a deal for Fineanganofo.
Rugby WC 2027 vs North England stint.
Omg

When does Fehi's NH contract start?

Rennies job is to win games, Fehi being part of the squad, is surely going to help this, id have zero issues if he wanted him and Fehi wanted a cap.

@Crazy-Horse said in Hurricanes vs Brumbies:

I am starting to think he is the player I am waiting for Clarke to be.

hasn't he signed a 2 year overseas Newcastle contract or have I got my wingers mixed up?

sparky

Back to winning ways and a big one against the side I despise most in Superb Rugby. Happy days!

They already tried, but he wants to try it.

Hopefully the cleverest lawyers in New Zealand are looking at ways to make his contract with Newcastle Red Bull disappear.

KiwiMurph

Or just allow selection of overseas ABs....

Or his multiple MOTM performances against the best of Europe in the URC... winning the title in his first season? Okay son.
