Match in my home city. Pondering whether to go.
Black caps getting some of their own medicine. Bangladesh opening with two spinners. NZ two wickets down after 5 overs. McCallum and Williamson out after trying to hit the spinners. Score 33 for 2 after 5 offers. Chasing 288. Highest ever chase on this ground.
Hellloooooooooo
Players out on the pitch
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the BLUES!
Immediate scrum hassles… we’ve had 2 resets already, of the same scrum
Blues stab the ball through, Julian Savea has to dot down for a 22 drop-in
Damn, I missed a try for the Canes due to a bloody phone call!
Hurricanes 8 / 0 Blues
I think the Canes are going to bliksem the Blues hard today… and I think I was way too conservative with my Bru pick of Hurricanes by 17.
Julian Savea over the line… looks lost forward.
TMO
Yeah, it is ruled lost forward, scrum Blues on their own 5.
No, they come back for a pop-over Canes penalty.
Barrett promptly obliges…
Hurricanes 11 / 0 Blues
Canes on the way to the tryline…. Blues Lolagi Visinia intercepts and it’s a try on the other side, under the sticks.
Hurricanes 11 / 7 Blues
Canes all over the Blues… eishh, opportunity spilled by a knock in midfield!
I’ve been working like a galley slave the last few days, on Remote Installations for a client in the Cape, PC’s which had to get built & loaded here in my office, serious Web Design and research on certain web elements for the design.
… and all resulting in very little sleep.. ai toggie!
Tryyyyyy Blues, Frank Halai… and they take a surprize lead!
Blues 14 / 11 Hurricanes
Blues man played in the air from the kick-off, penalty it is
Jeez, the contest in the air thing is such a toss-pot at the moment!
One almost cannot even try to go contest for a ball your player kicked, any more…
Another Blues penalty, this one very kickable, 2m outside the 22, on the 15m line… West for goal
Blues 17 / 11 Hurricanes
It would be a good thing if the Blues could win here.. looking at the Combined Log, with the Hurricanes still undefeated… will peg them back a bit.
Should the Canes lose today, the Stormers will be left as the only unbeaten side in 2015, pending tomorrow’s game between the Stormers vs Chiefs.
Blues suddenly a different beast, doing all the play and attacking
Barrett manages to clear from close to the Canes lines, to just outside his 22.
Blues also hash their lineout… so opportunity for the Canes to get out of their territory after this Canes scrum.
They manage to get to halfway, and get a scrum there…
Hooter has gone, Blues still with ball in hand on the Canes 22
Canes get a penalty, Savea with a quick tap…
Tryyyyyyyy Canes, Matt Proctor!
