[QUOTE="Nubiwan, post: 810281, member: 43441"] I agree - much hoopla over Barrett this year. Hes bloody fast though, I know that. Kicking was simply average today. And he did it a lot. Finals rugby I suppose. Hmm - Canes defence beat the Chiefs if I remember correctly, but I thought the chiefs dominated the game. More credit to the Canes defence than anything else and Barrett having a blinder. In every other statisitic, bar tries scored, the Chiefs were dominant. Canes are not the first team to win Super Rugby with solid defence. Recall the Brumbies team winning ti simply because opposition could not break them down. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Canes 2 tries coming from the Lions looking schollboyish in exiting their own 22 was ultimately what settled the game. 14 points right there, otherwise the game could just as easily have ended up 6-3, such were the constant handling errors and overall lacklustre performance from both sides in the conditions. Call me a sour puss, but a bit of a yawner, given some of the real treats we have been served up in the past month or so. 6-3 was about as interesting as it got. [/QUOTE]
