[QUOTE="nzlizard, post: 810293, member: 70865"] Yeah the Canes were deserving winners, they played well and holding teams tryless 3 games in a row is epic. I thought Barrett / Canes were playing to a game plan more than anything, put the ball deep then force the turnover through a mistake, which they seemed to do quite often, they out thought the Lions for most of the game and there line speed was top class. Once they got the scrum going it even better. They played good **** weather rugby. The Lions showed glimpses of what they could do and at times they had the ascendancy, but the Canes were never going to win all 80 minutes, not in a final, that defense of theirs was resolute though, had the game sown up with a couple of minutes to go but never relented and held strong. Hats off to Boyd and what he has done with the team, things like benching Savea how he has, sends the signal that you don't perform you don't play, then you look at how some of the fringe players have performed and you can see why they don't let in tries, players know the consequences and will die for that try line. 1st AB team going to be interesting.
