brilliant from the canes, man barrett is good. comintary were talking about how he wasn't taking on the line and I thought - that's because he's not an idiot - he's not going to go barrelling into the defence of a South african team in the first 30-35min of the game. he picks his time and usally waits till late in a half or until the ideal opportunity arrises and sure enough it did. and what a run it was.
Much smarter game from the canes in the 2nd half, holding posession and they defended well. Lowe did have a good game, he and Lam are a menace and tireless on defence.
Great win for the canes, as long as things are not to bad on the injury front I think this will give them a great shot in the arm
I think I have to adopt the Canes, blues (mostly their lack of coaching) are driving me insane
for sure Savea is in awesome form but it's true he does have some issues on defence, but IMO so does Hosea gear. I think I'd pick savea for an All Blacks squad over gear simply because Gears only going to be injury cover anyway and Savea is an ideal candidate to devalop for 2015
Sure Jackson was poor and killed our momentum at times
Average is a million times better than what Ireland already have!Bent's average, don't think he even made a Super Rugby squad till this year -thought he was still a youngin!
Not sure what you are seeing there.
I thought Glen Jackson was very, very good tonight, in allowing the game to flow. I don't think that the Sharks can have any complaints at all about the way he officiated. They gave away a heap of ball in their own half, and thereby placed themselves under a lot of pressure.
Jackson's Law application was very good, his game management was very good and his judgement of materiality and when to apply it was excellent. I would give him at least an 8½/10 for tonight's performance.
He is one of those rare referees who has a real feel for the game and an empathy with the players, and what they are trying to do. He is only in his first year of top level refereeing (ITM CUp last year) and he has already been selected in the iRB "B" Panel for the Junior World Cup later this year (not picked by POB by the way!). If he continues to progress at this rate, he'll be doing Tier 1 test matches by 2013, and is a shoe in for the RWC in 2015.
I felt he let the Hurricanes get away with a bit. They piled in the rucks at times and left their feet, often uncalled.
Who would be our best bet to replace Plumtree. Please don't say Mallett or Kirwan, because I have heard them linked to every club that needs a coach for the past 6 months.

I just read they don't employ a defensive coach, shocking
