Huge tackle by Gear saves Huricannes, ball spilled in tackle 2 meters from the line by Blues.
great breakout by the Cannes, but ball knocked by Andre Taylor great chance gone
Try Huricannes no TMO must decide
Ball knocked on , no try. That brings the game to a end, the knock on fest. Huricannes had a 3 minute assault on the Blues line at the end. Ball knocked on as the dived for glory.
“knock on fest” 😀 sounds like a porn film!! 😳
