A good first half performance by the Hurricanes, but I am still wary of a Blues comeback.

Just a random observation but Ruben Love has quite a punchable face
Huh?!
Got that young James O'Connor up himself look nothing at all to do with this playing ability though
Doesn't act like an arsehole. Can't help it if he looks good to the ladies
@canefan said in Blues v Hurricanes:
Blues forwards playing well. Too bad their 10 is kicking all their ball away
Yeah BB is having a shocker.

Canes need to shut the door. They need to learn to be ruthless.
@canefan said in Blues v Hurricanes:
What a waste. Now we give up extra metres
And it makes no difference cos this Blues team is way outclassed

Had two chances to get more points and spilled it

Unless the 2024 Blues come out after halftime they are no chance
@Canes4life said in Blues v Hurricanes:
Fuck that’s brutal rugby. That’s how to be ruthless.
Really similar to blues a couple of years ago

In the forwards definitely. Just bashing teams.

Tuipulotu is doing nothing out there. Is he injured?
He went down twice in the first 10 mins. Looked like he took a ding early
@KiwiMurph said in Blues v Hurricanes:
Have those worried about a Blues comeback actually watched the Blues this year?
Does Cotterball have the ability to catch up 21 points from behind?
It seems be very based around getting in an arm wrestle and suffocating the opposition. Which is hard to do when you're that far behind.

Not when his forwards are losing the contest.

The positive view
Beauden is playing so shit I am increasingly hopeful his AB 10 days are over
Everyone outside the Fern seems to love BB. He's untouchable until proven otherwise
From what I’ve been told there’s a different view on him from what the last regime had

I fucking hope so
He's so far past it that it isnt funny

Laura Mcgoldrick is surely there for her looks as opposed to her rugby brain no idea
My ears hurt after listening to these bafoons.

I'd rather listen to her than you or Justin Marshall.
@antipodean said in Blues v Hurricanes:
Fucks sakes O'Keefe- he's literally on his knees and grabs the ball in front of you.
Yeah, what's the deal with that? Refs seem to be letting players already on the ground play the ball this season.
A high quality half of rugby from the Canes to be fair, although they've not put this one to bed yet.

Any time the ball goes to Beauden it turns to sh#t.
I realise wing isnt really the problem in this game but how has Saunoa not got a chance this season with Blues (predictably) dire need at wing?

Got bumped off towards the end of the half by Delaney and was holding his shoulder. Looked like a stinger but assuming it’s more with what happened earlier in the half
@KiwiMurph said in Blues v Hurricanes:
They didnt flake in 06. They made a final with Gopperth at 10 and lost in a fog final to Carter and McCaw.
Yeah it's like the 1960s. If you saw the game you weren't there.
