Hurricanes v Force R10 19 April

[Bruwheresmycar]

Force are missing Godwin this week. Less creativity in the backline.

What's the go with the organ music at the ground? It sounds very septic.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Brad Shields in. Really good try there from the Canes. Brilliant run from the winger & then the set up.

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

I thought that was a try. And what's this talk of "double movement"? Isnt it just "place it immediately"?

Yes, the double movement talk is misguided. In fact the laws actually specifically state you are allowed to "move twice in order to score".

If a player is tackled near to the opponents’ goal line so that this player can immediately reach out and ground the ball on or over the goal line, a try is scored.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Bruwheresmycar, indeed. I was hoping they'd show a closer image for that grounding too.

On another note the commentators don't seem to know who Matt Hodgson is they've already confused him with Cottrell & Alcock.

 

[Moono75]

Force had a couple of chances to score. Need to push wide, a couple of times theyve cut back with a man still outside. Boys close enough if good enough.

Pisi try!

Commentators agree was easy. A Pisi o' piss' maybe?

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Wow! Great try Alby!

Off the line-out, straight through like a knife through hot butter, then making his way around a few more defenders to go under the posts.

13-22 Canes. Game on.

 

[Blue]

So Force can't bore two Kiwi teams to a loss two weeks in a row.

Norton-Kinght? You have to be fucking kidding me.

 

[badabing59]

Excellent try!

 

[Moono75]

Alby oh yeah try!

 

[Moono75]

Come on Force

Sounds like a fun game to watch. Have recently moved so no foxsports, AH! Painful.

Bugger!

70m to finish the game 30 to short good effort from the force. Its not far away a bit more punch in the back line a the force are there.

Two very mediocre teams in a very mediocre game.

Agreed. Very hard to find any highlights. A couple of good individual performances (Shields, Mathewson), otherwise uninspiring.

Bugger!

Indeed, just moved to Melbourne. Watched the highlanders lose to the brumbies last week at the College Lawn Bar (which was very nice btw) but it's on the other side of town now and can't be arsed going there tomorrow.

Any rugby would be better than no rugby at the moment.

 

[Moono75]

Ahhhhhhhhh. Frustrating......but can see the improvement. Missed Godwin and Benny Mac. Wykes borderline.

And you support no team.....if you were a colour you would be beige.
