Hurricanes V Chiefs

[Shaggy]

Here's the result of the pre-season game between the Hurricanes and the Chiefs as per the NZ Herald website.

It looks like it was another close match, and that many of the fringe players in both squads got opportunities to impress.

Pity the chiefs couldn't hold on to their lead but it's not a bad result.

yeah sounds like the chiefs lost their mommentum giving all their players a run but that's more important than the result. That and no injuries.

Beauden Barrett is all black material big time, love watching that kid play. Could make me a hurricanes fan.
