Game ON!

Kick-Off by the Blues!

Hurricanes resting many players, fielding most of their 2nd stringers.

Of course, the Hurricanes can already not finish lower than 3rd on the Overall Log.

Blues penalty at goal… in front, deep inside the Canes 22…

Easily slotted.

Canes penalty smack bang in front, 5m out…

Dane Coles attempts a quick tap and knocks…. phweeeew!

Canes penalty just inside their own half… kicked to touch and they do not manage to kick out.

grootblousmile on 15 June 2019 at 10:00 am

Canes scrum, on the Blues 10m line.

The ball seems quite greasy…

grootblousmile on 15 June 2019 at 10:06 am

Canes just not able to take their opportunities… this time Ben Lam cannot collect a try-scoring ball.

The Blues might win this one with a Bonus Point and if they do, it will bring them up to 34 Log Points, still out of the Play-Offs.

Should the Hurricanes get no Log Points from the game, they will remain on 49 Log Points, still 3rd on the Combined Log and still asured of a Home Play-Off.
