Rd 9: Brumbies v Hurricanes, Napier - Friday 21st April 5:30pm AEST

[Pedrolicus]

Perenara pulls a pen george gregan style and hits an offside Butler who is promptly subbed for with Fakosilea.

Canes in the 22 but the Brums push them back.

Canes close again.

Dargaville forces a runner into touch and the ref calls that going striaght down at the ruck call that they normally wait until the 79th minute to police.

Brums clear to 20m out. 20min to go
28-21 canes/

 

[Pedrolicus]

Gibbins scores off a charge down
35-21 canes now

 

[Pedrolicus]

Canes score easily from Mark Abbott.
close range metres made easily.
40-21.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Conversion is in off and it's 42-21 Canes

Kuridrani has caused a few of the hurricanes tries tonight jumping out of the defensive line or overcomitting

Not even gonna try to guess what the next 40 min will bring after that half of rugby. Could be either team by 20 or more, although the Brumbies look more composed now.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Canes are deserving but they are certainly getting the calls as well.
5m lineout and the brums defend well.
pen advantage eventually results in another lineout on the 5.
72min gone 42-12.

 

[Pedrolicus]

another try for the home team.
47-21.
The Brumbies have made some mistakes but the Canes have been too good.

The standard of rugby has been quite high despite the scoreline.

49-21 with the conv.

Brumbies schooled by Barret, and the canes are to good.
out play out coached and Aus rugby truely sucks from players to coaching .
And Bernie is getting groomed for next wallabies coach.

Really wanted Brumbies to get up this game, But they didn't turn up 2nd half. what the Brumbies are so good at the Canes were even better.
Barrett's cross field kick pass was so bang on it was redicoulus.
Didn't want them go down like that but deserved that in the end.

 

[Upthenuts]

as kaf said the brumbies are one of the best defensive sides 13 tries so far this season against them, 8 tries tonight. it could have been real messy

 

[Mr Doug]

Thanks for the updates folks. Pity about the last 40 mins!

 

[Pedrolicus]

basically the brumbies didn't secure any possession in attacking territory in the second.

If the Brumbies had good decision making in the first half the opposite was true in the second. The cane's rush defense meant clearing kicks were under pressure, in the first they faked and ran in the second the ponies were predictable.

Good game, just not for me.

Actually reminded me a lot of an NRC game.

Since when is barrwt allowed to just run at people and punch them in the face? And why can ardie save a get tackled and just get up and keen trying to run even though the tackler hasn't even let go? All kiwi teams do it. It's really annoying.
Brumbies are shit though. Force would. Of done much better

Both got special dispensations by courtesy of being non-Australian.
