Very true… problem is one still only has 2 hands, 2 eyes, 2 ears… and only so many hours in a day and night!
Another Canes penalty on the Blues 22… and they kick for touch… not a great touchfinder… but they drive for the line… 1m out, then it looks like a knock before TJ Perenara is over the line for a try…
TMO
I would rule a knock… but it is damn close
Try is awarded…
Blues 13 / 23 Hurricanes
Tryyyyyyyyyy Tevita Li, Blues!
TMO to check for a forward pass…. 2nd question… reason NOT to award
Could be ruled forward… and is… no try!
Advantage is played for the Blues
Blues come close… then a little knock and they go back for the penalty
West will go for goal… easy shot!
Blues 16 / 23 Hurricanes
13 Minutes left to play, the deficit is now only 7.
Ihaia West for goal from a long penalty…
Blues 19 / 23 Hurricanes
9 Minutes to go… only 4 points in it
Canes defensive penalty on their own 22, Fifita all over the ball on the ground
Blues now pushing all over the park
Blues lineout now, a defensive one on their own 5m line.
Blues kickable penalty, 5m outside the Canes 22… I recon they will kick for touch
Blues lineout, 15m out…
2 Minutes to go
Blues 2m out… knock..
They come back for a Blues penalty.. this time they can kick it out on the 5m line… and do.
Another Blues penalty… long after the hooter.
We have another 5m lineout…
Blues penalty again… Victor Vito cops the inevitable Yellow Card…
Canes turnover… they win by 4!
Final Score: Blues (8) 19 / 23 (15) Hurricanes
Well, that was a good tense game!
Next game is in Perth, Force vs Brumbies.
It is only in a few hours though, at 13:05 SA Time.
Blues obviously flattered to deceive last week.
Had them to win on Superbru.
Ah well, falling like a stone.
