ola boyz, hope you guys are well
i'm glad to see here's already a Hurricane Thread!! i love my team, and coming from "Kicking -Rugby-Country-South-Africa" i've had to defend my Hurricanes and beloved ALL BLACKS for the better half of my life.....always having to hear...you are chokers...you won 1 world cup...why don't you move to NZ etc etc...
anyways....
the Canes, well they have always been inconsistent....i have learn to except that....in fact i don't mind that the Hurricanes lose...for me its not about winning or losing...its about how they play...the excitement i get when the canes attack cuz you always expect something is going to happen...the canes have always had a mentality of you can score 5 tries we will score 6, they never really had the majority of great forwards in their team...so if they DID win ball upfront...make way for the backs...cuz they run!!!!
that is why i love teh canes so much....if i wanted winning rugby i would have supported the Saders...cuz they win...not so exciting as the Canes on a good day... you guys might differ from me..because i don't have any rivalry when it comes to clubs or Super15....
i am an ALL BLACK by 1st choice....so i love all the NZ franchizes and the Individuals from those franchises making up the AB team....the i chose the canes of how they play running rugby and because of the best running full back ever!!! CHRISTIAN CULLEN my hero....
so i want the key players in those franchises to have good games and be selected for the AB team...the canes are not firing like they should and why they always been inconsitant i dont know :? but i will always been a Hurricane fan...i think i'm the only Hurricane fan in Cape Town hell prob even the whole SA People look at me funny when i wear my Canes jersey :lol:
i'd rather suck my left nut that support these crap predictable running maul and kicking sides in SA.....
ok Canes vs Cheetahs, i don't know if you guys picked this up but the 1st try that Cheetah scrumhalf scored under the posts...was NOT a try...he lost the ball the %#&%#& and then pressed his arm agaist it and looked nerviously at the rev and it was awarded....i want you guys to go have a look again...its the try just after Gears 1st and opening try....

i was !@#!#!@ mad
so the last try of the canes was just justice otherwise they would have been robbed....
Good first post, and it's great to see a South African Canes fan. I also noticed the first try was a knock on when watching the replay, good spotting. Keep up the posting, I can tell you have good taste and Cullen has been my hero growing up as well .
