Lots of subs on for the Canes…
Blues penalty, no arms tackle by Fifita and he cops a Yellow Card… Canes down to 13 men.
Easy penalty at goal for the Blues… should they choose to take the shot… they do!
Hurricanes 15 / 17 Blues
Good touchfinder by Black for the Blues… pinning the Canes in their 22.
Canes scrum… just outside their own 22.
Can the Blues hang on to their lead?
Can the Canes come back with only 13 men?
Directly kicked out by the Canes… Blues very attacking lineout, well inside the Canes 22.
Penalty Try Blues… intentional knock by Jordie Barrett… and he also cops a Yellow Card to boot… Canes down to only 12 men!
Hurricanes 15 / 24 Blues
Should be game over for the Canes now… with only 12 men on the park.
5 Minutes to go…
Canes ground ball penalty, on their own 10m line…
Canes do not manage to kick out… phweew!
Drop attempt by Otere Black… missed.
Canes back to 13 men.
Less than a minute left…
Hooter has gone…
Canes penalty, just outside their own 22… good touchfinder!
Game over…
Hurricanes (8) 15 / 24 (7) Blues (Final Score)
Blues suddenly up to 17 Log Points!
Canes remain on 13 Log Points.
3 Teams now up to 18 Log points:
– Chiefs, Crusaders, Brumbies
2 Teams on 17 Log Points:
– Stormers, Blues
Later today, the Sharks or Jaguares have a chance to top the overall Log, with a win…
I did not think the Blues could pull this one through… so my SuperBru takes another beating… hahaha
Only New Zealand side really struggling seems to be the Highlanders… way off the pace.
The other 4 New Zealand sides right in the hunt.
Brumbies the only Aussie side in the hunt at present…
2 SA sides in the hunt… Sharks and Stormers.
Los Jaguares also strongly in the hunt.
Early days though… but one already senses that the Bulls, Sunwolves, Waratahs, Highlanders and Lions could remain the shackle-draggers on the bottom of the pile.
