... Gee, the Blues away from home, batting 0 from 4, against an in form Hurricanes team, in front of their home crowd ... I think I'll back the Canes on this one.

I'll be interested to see the team line ups, because the Canes will likely give some of their All Blacks their mandatory rest for this one
 
So it ends 30-23 in favour of the Hurricanes.

That makes it 5 losses in a row for the hapless Blues...

A bye now and then the Waratahs and Chiefs away... eina! The Brumbies and Highlanders thereafter also gonna be tough. They could very easily see themselves winless starting round 11.

I was actually cheering them on- they were doing most of the playing.. just not in the right areas of the field. Now the Hurricanes are in a better position than us; also 4/4 but with 2 bonus points we don't have and having have done their far traveling. Very much the form team ATM.

I think the Canes made pretty hard work of that TBH (at least on the scoreboard), they still have to play the Chiefs, Crusaders, and Highlanders twice, plus the Blues again at home, so it's hard to see that they won't drop some of those games. The Stormers, Tahs, and Sharks won't be easy either, even though they are home games for the Canes
