Hurricanes (22) 28 / Reds (5) 26 (Final Score)
The Hurricanes hosted the Reds at Westpac Stadium, Wellington at 09:35 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Hurricanes had a great first half, racking up their 4 tries and then it was time for the Reds to claw their way back and with 4 minutes to go the Reds held a slender 1-point lead. The Hurricanes got a penalty opportunity on full time and Aaron Cruden calmly slotted it, for a 2-point win by the Hurricanes.

super @ 57
in die i.t industry, meer spesifiek die lasercartridge refill/refurbish industry
Reds still do not have their bonus point for tries…. 2 min left
Quite a nervous end to this game, both making silly mistakes
Canes need a last min penalty
😯 what happened to the hurricanes in the 2nd half?
Penalty Canes, very very kickable….
@ The_Young_Turk:
your wish is granted
YEBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Over!
Game Over!!
Heeeeeeeee haaaaaaaa
Canes win by 2
WELL DONE CANES……. 🙂
Final Score: Hurricanes 28 / 26 Reds
While I am chuffed at the result for the Saffa sides, I think the Reds are the real deal this year.
yebo yes!!
ok my superbru takes another knock, but who gives a heck?
I am ZERO for 3 for this weekend on Bru…. hahaha
@ The_Young_Turk:
Why are all happy for the SA sides, this puts another NZ side back in contention, the Reds will most probable stay right on top in AUS.
Bulls now passed by the Huricannes too, we are down to 9th.
ok, so the blues still top the log, but they still need to travel
crusaders currently on the road
stormers yet to travel .. the log may just change more in the coming weeks than most of us anticipated!

😆
ekt een!!
If the Bulls do a Houdini act and beat the Sharks x2 and the Stormers , we might have 4 NZ teams in the top 6, a real possibility. True or false?
111@ superBul:
Bulls need a 5-pointer desperately today!
I’m going especially BLUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE today, even my undies are BLUE!
gbs @ 115
met ñ rooi serpie? 😀
@ superBul:
To end top of the log is vital so now it’s easier for the top saffa sides. The canes are still behind the Bulls, if the Bulls win. Bulls have to focus on the teams ahead of them not on those behind, bru
116@ Ashley:
Vodacom’s girls frequent the Press Box at Loftus, so we’ll probably each get a hamper, with a flag, maybe a special rugby jersey and red T-shirts as well…

Ek hettie rooi kleertjies nie….
