I didn't have any issue with the referee's performance either. Even in the second half when the penalty count was 8-zip against the Hurricanes.

Good to see the Fijians in the Hurricanes side play in this game. Some games mean more to players than others.

That was my feel too. I'd like to see the Hurricanes drive off the lineouts a bit more like they did towards the end of the first half.kiwidutchie wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 8:56 am Not a lot of structure in this game. It's a lot like 7s

Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
The Hurricanes' lineout is functioning well, and the Hurricanes managed to string some phases together which put pressure on Fiji. The Hurricanes' defense needs some repair though. Seems like a good atmosphere at the game.

Genuine question - what's the Hurricanes back up front row like? i.e. the front row that's playing in this game. I've not seen them play too much. A step down for sure but all the same, have improved immensely this year and have generally held their own when off the bench. The Drua however are supp...
