Dane Coles massive dickhead but gotta love his passion.

 

[Derpus]

What's with the booing at spot kicking? Just coz its BB?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Stupid Bumbreeze rolling maul, its just organised cheating, truck and trailer Sir, oh, the Auckland Blues can do it now? Wonderful facet of the game of rugby, it's an art form really.

I was about ask Dismal, who stole the Blues and substituted these guys - hardly a jail break all season

Tana must've been banging a few heads with his handbag at halftime because the defence has finally remembered how to do its job.

'canes c/- JBar

Haha what a classic game. BB to fumble it to give the ‘Canes a win. Get like the Blues should’ve been leading by so much more in that 2nd half but didn’t convert. My lord the Hurricanes are an enjoyable team to watch. That first half was Kirifi’s best half I’ve seen. TJP & Laumpape essentially carrying that team. JGB should just bench himself already.

 

[zer0]

Barrett seems to have well and truly clocked out for the season. Absolute punisher of a tenured XV performance these last two weeks. Bench him. Get Faiane and Nock back into the starting XV. Neither should've been dropped to begin with.

MacDonald has given the Crusaders another title win, so maybe now he'll revert back to the proper selections and do some coaching to get the attack working again.

YEEHAA, enjoyed that!! Yaaay the Canes! Bloody great so far went to Reds/Force game last night, and now this, that's 2 bloody good games pressure on Brumbies/Rebels now!!

 

[KiwiM]

Congrats Dan54 and Canes fans. Deserved winners.

Best Blues were Eklund and Akira. Whatever Akira is doing it Is working - he was everywhere. Papalii was also good but not sure he has a natutal position. Tuipulotu needs a rest - he looks worn out. Blues also need Nock back. Benching Faiane was a total failure.

Was really impressed by PUJ for Canes.

Beauden - he looks like a player who has lost his athleticism and there's not much left. Dud signing.

 

[Dan54]

Kiwi, you hit it on the head, I think PT probably is needing a break, he a bloody good player, but seems to be tiring, I not surprised with his work rate. Eklund has looked bloody good, and even I think Akira looks not too bad this year.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Beaudy ffs, game starts, fast asleep, gets totally emasculated by Lumpy, alarm goes off, wakes up, runs in his own try, then goes straight back into hibernation. Just pop your raybans back on and bugger off back to Newmarket.

Papalii mustve been buried in tight, I wonder what his stats were cos Kirifi was everywhere. Poor newbie on the blindside wouldve found that tough as hell.

Plummer at 2nd 5 with his precious "kicking option" has been an arse-clutching, bum-dribbling failure.

Akira all business now. Has to be in the AB mix for 6 with Papalii/Big Red/crossword champ Frizzle/clean shorts Fffsffitaffs.

 

[Dan54]

I actually think after nights sleep that Canes might be quite happy how draw worked for that game, one of Blues probs I think can be called post Crusaders, let's face it, anyone who watched the game last week could see it was real test match intensity (mind you last night's wasn't far off) and I do believe the Blues just may of been not quite 100% mentally? Not taking anything away from my mighty Canes, who I can't believe are winning games with some bloody great defence, as well as attack. And a certain one JB at 15 who is getting that 2nd playmaker role down to a T making evem JGB look an alright 10. Won't even mention the obvious with Lumpy saying hey there a couple of fellas at 12 for ABs, Ardie is back in business, TJ is TJ, and forwards going pretty well! For Blues I have a feeling you may actually go alright next week or so, BB has played well at 15 generally but still looks like a bloody good 10 at 15 to me, so he can some game time at 10 ready for North/South game!

Yep bit like when Wedell Sailor played for Tahs at Suncorp, you have to remind him where he left!

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Highlights:

Thought the last try was held up in goal. In my defence, so did the guy running the 'canes sub bench judging by his reaction.......

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Sun's out in the 'tron & so are the fans, really good turnout for a team that's 0-from-4.

Edit: official attendance just over 10K.

 

[Dan54]

Well I picked the Chiefs to win, I thought they were miles to good to have record they have got, but I didn't see them jumping out to that start.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ yeah, Tribe looking more like their pre-Covid selves.

Says he as MHunt scoots through for a try Can't convert so Clan still well behind.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Wow! ASmith with a stunner, Clan are back in this.
