BB gets subbed and now the midfield run it and score a lovely try LOL.

Landers92

Full credit to the canes don’t get me wrong. Absolutely lovely team to watch and I hope they go the whole way.

@akan004 tmo prefers to find the tiny errors, leaving the big ones to the ref

canefan

Fucking hell. Dearns is so smooth to watch. Beautiful footwork, soft hands and so strong, commanding in the air. I can't believe we didn't try harder to get him home and eligible for the ABs. It was obvious with his breeding that he would be special

Victor Meldrew

Christie comes on and the Blues score....Oh the irony!

canefan

Enari to the wing, Viljoen to HB, Fehi gets a rest. Such luxury

canefan

Scary moments there, CC looked like he'd done his ACL for a moment there

Landers92

What was the point in that shove from Sullivan… lol frustration getting to him

Viljoen is a whippet

KiwiMurph

The number of times Christie is involved in a maul possession loss is wild

He has no feel for when to get the ball out of a maul

Zarn Sullivan is such a drop
Kick imagine pushing him being 40-12 down

Canes4life

Fair play to Rakete-Stones for getting back there

Enari should have been penalised then

Genuine question, what's the difference between this years blues (and last years) with the 2024 Blues? Why the terrible performance?

I feel like the championship team used the ball better. Plummer did a much better job running the team. Underrated performance IMHO

The rules changes have made a huge difference.

Also in 2024 Sotutu and Tuipulotu were having milestone years, supported by Akira and others.

@Rocket1 A lot of depth problems, and struggling to get 7 quality backs on the field.

Canes4life

Proctor again. Superb defence tonight.

Akira Ioane. Dalton Papalii. Riccitelli. Plummer and Sotutu in career best form. Mark Telea.

Canes should have shut this down. No need to lose a bonus point at the death

Yeah dumb by Sullivan hot on attack.

KiwiMurph

Rova is a moron

Yeah of course we throw in the towel now

Landers92

That could be a crucial bonus point lost for the canes

canefan

Fucking Rova. Always doing dumb shit

@KiwiMurph just remember he’s better then Higgins apparently

Canes4life

For fuck sake. This bench apart from Lauaki has been shite.

African Monkey

What a shame the game isn't going for another 30 mins. We were coming!

KiwiMurph

Caleb Clarke is a nice guy and gifted Canes one more chance
