Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
Best game from Jordie/Proctor in a long time - amazing defence and leadership along with TJ. There was a funny moment at the end where it looked like Jordie was the only one who wanted to go for the bonus point. The front row looked gassed but all credit for getting the job done. I hope Numia keeps...

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
And I've been looking at domestic/small commercial wind turbines. From what I've heard the main reason domestic turbines haven't taken off is the much lower wind speed at the height small turbines can reach. Utilities install 100m turbines for that reason as well as or enonomies of scale. Solar OTO...

Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
Yeah, didn't see what happened to Morgan, but there was quite a bit of late off the ball stuff going on. More likely a stray boot, though. Roigard and Aumua were/are arguably two of our best players and in the comp, full stop. It'd be a big loss if Aumua is now out too, but also a dent in the lads r...

Agreed. The midfield was generally good though there was some worrying defensive signs early on, I suspect that was more a systems thing manifesting in the midfield.

Wrong. :lol: Taranaki was part of the Canes region while Paul Williams was coming up - hence why Dan54 is a Canes fan. Maybe you've heard of the Barrett family?

Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
Williams has lost the plot. He warned them. They gave him no choice. I struggled to see an offence that affected the delivery of the ball in several of the last 5 penalties. He was searching for it, so sure the Canes should have been extra cautious, but the also have to be able to play 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...

Re: The Semi-official Because they haven't, we will DRUA v CANES Match Thread.
I don't think any team goes to Fiji feeling confident of a win there anymore. Especially the Canes. If they think all they have to do is rock up and take the win, they deserve to lose. Given who the head coach is, I'd wager that the Canes are more wary of Fijian Rugby than most... One would hope so...
