Do you have any other Hurricanes cast offs you can use?

Daily bump for Flockwitt!

Kirifi and Flanders on the injured list, both look doubtful for Sunday. This is good news for Ogre, as it will need Delaney to drop to 6, opening up space for an actual lock. Then bring Shields in to 8, move Lakai to 7, Howden and Iose on the bench. Start Roigard, as losing Kirifi hurts our defence...

Well, not a bad first hit out for the boys. A couple of soft tries that a better defence would have shut down, but a really strong set piece, and a scrum that dominated, but wasn't really tested tonight. Great first hit out for Viljoen, and Aumua was a beast, as was the rest of the Canes front row. ...

Just quietly, it looks like the only thing Chase Tiatia has been chasing in the off season is pies!

Also, really like the look of this new halfback Viljoen, a real embarrassment of riches in that Hurricanes 9 Jersey this year!

capt hurricane

One of the best to ever pull on Rugby Boots. Not just a great fullback, but held in the highest regard as a sportsman, and as a human being.

With Ardie gone and Roigard on the rise, this coming season is begging for someone to raise their hand and be this team's next stand out player. I had Lakai pegged for great things but I see he's already had surgery to have his shoulder fixed so that might diminish his potential. In the backs I'd t...

NO!

This year will always be our year.....

Until it isn't.

Just like every other year.

But all that matters is that Barnes didn't get that picture and if that's the case I would ask then, did Savea make a clear release? World Rugby use the word clear for a reason in their game management guidelines. In my opinion if the release is clear Barnes won't be missing it. Look at the photo. ...

capt hurricane

The tackler has to allow clear daylight before diving on the ball and also allow the tackled player release or play the ball. Barnes said 'not enough of a gap' so unfortunately that's why NZ were penalised . Ive seen this style of jackling penalised many times and its very much balancing two differ...

They did what they had to and won the thing, that’s all that matters.

Good on them.

Yeah, but if they do that by destroying the game in the process, what do you win but a decaying corpse. Compare this final to 2015. Which would you rather watch again.

A 14 man side lost the RWC final by a point.

If this is a decline, how good were they before?

Why are people debating a ruck penalty from the 17th minute? Whether it was the right call or not, there were another 60 mins plus for both teams to do something about it. Because in a game with close margins like this one, these calls matter. Could you imagine how livid the South African supporter...

In the time of Marx and Kwagga supporting their body weight via the ground, you’d quibble over the back of an arm touching the ball carrier? Thankfully Savea had a clean jackal disallowed 10 phases early so we can all sleep easy. No, I think Freddie is spot on. Everyone knows if someone says 'can y...

Ok, hear me out. The try scored by Aaron Smith should not have been ruled out.

Law 8: Scoring a try. The TM...

It likely Ardie asked him "did you see the replay?" to which Barnes gave a direct response. If you are upset with that it's likely you are just biased because your team lost. Clearly you are the one that is upset with the backlash which was inevitable but easily avoided. Refs shouldn’t be saying so...

Can we all move on, now? Four more years and all that? As much as I would like to, fraid not. If TMOs can continue to make rulings outside the stated guidelines, it will ruin our game.

capt hurricane

Yes, that was incorrect officiating. But honestly, I'd prefer the right call to be made (which was a knock-on/penalty ABs) than the 'technically correct' call. And we still scored the try from that phase of play eventually and had more than enough other opportunities to win. We've no one but oursel...

NZ is in a good position for this. A very young front row on offer, with Samsoni, Lomax, Williams, De Groot, Newell, and players like Amosa waiting in the wings.

4 years of incessant review of the Wayne Barnes 'penalty' on Ardie Savea for being too fast at a breakdown, realising he was wrong to award it, not changing his call, and South Africa kicking three points from that penalty in a RWC final that they ended up winning by one point.

That is the crux of the matter mate. Because Foster was so loyal to Cane, it precluded the exploration of other options.
