With 20 minutes to go, only a 4 point gap between the sides…

Canes look by far the better team now though…

TMO asked to check for a deliberate knock…

No deliberate knock… fair call.

Continious Canes pressure on the Reds, in the Reds 22.

Scrum middle spot, Canes ball.

Canes scrum penalty, quick tap by Beauden Barrett…

Reds penalty advantage for a dangerous tackle… inside the Canes 22, in front… advantage is played…

4 Minutes to go… and the deficit is 4.

grootblousmile on 18 May 2018 at 11:12 am

I think this will be the 39th consecutive win by a New Zealand Super Rugby side over an Australian counterpart…
45

grootblousmile on 18 May 2018 at 11:13 am

Reds defensive penalty… deeeep in their own territory.
46

grootblousmile on 18 May 2018 at 11:14 am

Last gasp chances for the Reds now… but the Canes steal the lineout ball.
47

grootblousmile on 18 May 2018 at 11:15 am

Canes closing the game out now…
48

grootblousmile on 18 May 2018 at 11:15 am

One-pass away from the ruck each time, just keeping possession…

Well folks, I better get working on this chilly Friday!

I am holding thumbs that my Saturday rugby is not spoilt by the arrival of another baby to this world of ours… the lady in my life’s next grandchild is imminently due and all signs point to this weekend for the offload… so I might have to bail at very short notice!!
