Canes get to within 10m… Chiefs pilfer the ball… but they fail to exit from inside their 22.
Brad Weber on for Tawera Kerr-Barlow for the Chiefs…
Try Victor Vito, Canes!!
Brad Weber immediately found wanting on defence…
Hurricanes 22 / 6 Chiefs
Chiefs would have to score quickly if they are to stand ANY chance in this game…
Chiefs penalty… now they go for goal, when the score has already ballooned out against them…
Hurricanes 22 / 9 Chiefs
The deficit now 13 points… 28 Minutes left in the game
60 @ BrumbiesBoy:
So, how old are you today, 87???
Hahaha
Canes penalty… easy shot for them… almost in front just outside the 22.
Hurricanes 25 / 9 Chiefs
Looks like the Final will be in Wellington, hey!!
Chiefs penalty, right in front… another Canes team warning.
Chiefs will scrum in stead of taking the sure 3 points…
Chiefs new scrum, this time much closer to touch… for a Cory Jane knock in the tackle.
Julian Savea on for Cory Jane, it seems.
TMO looking if the Cory Jane knock was deliberate… yip… Yellow for Cory Jane… so Julian Savea is not coming on for 10 minutes.
Chiefs kick the penalty into the corner for the lineout…
Chiefs lucky to get a scrum from the lineout…
16 Minutes to go… the deficit is also 16 points.
Cruden passes into touch, 14m out…
The Canes are just professionally managing this game…
They know they have a healthy lead, and they are taking exactly the right options in the circumstances.
They are going to be extremely difficult to stop in a Final….
Come on Chiefs… now or never!
Chiefs penalty on about the middle spot.
But the Canes are putting in big hits, driving the Chiefs back on the other side of the advantage lines, almost every time.
Chiefs come to just short of the goal line, maul deemed held up, 5m defensive Canes scrum.
7 Minutes to go…
The Fat lady is dressed in Canes colours…
Finally Julian Savea takes to the field for the Canes…
Chiefs almost in for a try… Brad Weber cannot catch the last very difficult inside pass…
Canes penalty… 3 minutes to go in the game…
The game is not over but in the bag… the Final will be in Wellington, New Zealand…
Chiefs penalty, tap and go…
Now IF the Lions win their semifinal against the Highlanders, they will surely rue the fact that they ended 2nd on the Logs in stead of 1st…
The player selections against the Jaguares sure came back to bite them, did’nt it!!
Game Over!
Canes easily through to the Final.
