Re: The Official Capt Hurricane Hurricanes vs Blues Match Thread.

That was the first time that I've watched a Super Rugby game in....I don't know, maybe a few years. The Hurricanes looked ok in patches, but their passes let themselves down at times. As for the Blues, I can't quite put my finger on it, but they appear to be lacking something in their play. A centre?

Re: Richie Mounga's Legacy

The reason Carter was so much better at goal kicking, simple, repetition.

When Jordie and Beaudy are out playing 18 holes of golf Carter would use that time to kick goals for 4 hours. Miss that the most about Carter, the confidence you felt everytime he lined up a kick.
