@Paekakboyz It has been against teams across the board. I can think of a number of runs / tries that he has scored against the likes of the Blues/Crusaders/Highlanders where he has run over the first line of defence and if not scoring himself he has also set up a number of tries aswell. A player on the rise that's for sure.

Laumape, like Nonu, has something that you can't teach. What he doesn't have, can be taught.

Big Eben has been ruled out of tomorrow with concussion. Big plus for the Canes and their undersized locking pair.

Good example of a friendly commentary team, Nisbo and Cullen both like the Canes and will be positive.

We get TJ poking needles in a voodo doll in a Blues jersey.

I’m not sure why that penalty is given when the arriving player pinned him in there - it’s not like the Canes were attacking ball, and he was making as good of an effort as he could.

Yikes. It’s all Stormers - mauling away for a penalty and the Canes look like they’re in trouble up front. Who’d have thought?

Yep, going to be a lot of mauls if that’s how they are going to defend

No ball, no territory, and pretty average exit plays so far.

BB getting the canes around the field nicely there

@Kirwan

Was nice, until they ran out of ideas and kicked it away.

gt12

I should keep bagging them, because they’ve won the line out.

They won’t score.

If you don't like the tv commentary, you can switch that off and listen to the ref only or listen to the radio commentary. They're almost always locals. I do it all the time.

Kirwan

And that’s why Ben Lam isn’t an All Black.

Fuck me. Just fall on it.

Or Sky could organise the commentary team like they do for every other team, so the fans don’t have to dick around with radios.

Judd is looking really good. Cue majot fuck up.

Lam is fucken quick eh.

In good news, that’s one of the best kicks I’ve seen Barrett use. That’ll work well with Rieko, who won’t fuck it up.
