Something from the backrow right throught to 9 seems missing from the Hurricanes. The Brumbies are making ridiculously easy yards though there time and time again. They just look like a way better drilled and enthusiastic team to me.

 

[Sam Owen]

Yeah Brumbies should take this one by Canes making a good fist of it

 

[Darwin]

Hurricanes are just missing too many 1-on-1 tackles. Vaega is the biggest culprit, but he is not the only one. The Canes lineouts have been a mess, and they have been making far too many unforced errors. On the bright side they are only 2 points behind. If they can tighten up their defense there is no reason they can't win this match. It would be nice to see Ardie Savea on the field after the half-time break....

EDIT: Pat McCabe has looked very sharp. He is a pretty handy player when he isn't used solely as a battering ram.....

 

[austingtir]

Wow i didnt think the hurricanes were THIS bad... jeez its either that or the brumbies are playing out of their skin they look like they are playing touch the way they going through some of those gaps!

 

[Darwin]

Another Brumbies try. Woeful defense again by Vaega.

Vaega off now... about time....

 

[austingtir]

This is just ridiculous. They deserve 50 points on them if they are going to defend like this.

 

[Sam Owen]

Brumbies are not too bad side, I think they were in the final last year. Canes aren't doing too bad, I thought the Canes would be getting hammered by now but they're still in it

 

[Darwin]

Ardie Savea on now. About time.

Its about time Ardie does what he does in the ITM cup in the Super

I know the Brumbies are good but that is just terrible defence. The Brumbies backline was nothing special last year. Mogg looks like a superstar against this rabble (which he isnt).

Absolutely terrible brother. Moggs touch try was a disgrace and a crack up

 

[austingtir]

If the canes manage to sneak a win I'll laugh my ass off. To my amazement they are still well in the game really.

The Brumbies haven't really been that good though - if they had been more clinical they would be winning by 20.

Julian Savea needs to stop making stupid passes and just take the contact....

Totally. So much good Rugby from the Brumbies and only a 6 point lead so far.

 

[Darwin]

A couple of great plays by Jack Lam... the rest of the side just needs to follow his example!

 

[Sam Owen]

Finally

 

[Darwin]

Bouns point try for the Brumbies. That should seal it for them.

 

[Sam Owen]

The Canes are here, they need to turn up 76mins earlier

 

[Darwin]

Good try by Thomson. Marty Banks has been good off the bench.
