Hi guys, hope to catch parts of the game at least but will have to head to work about 1/2 after kick-off. No worries though cause Canes should be up by 20 points by then, lol

 peranara is starting when did that happen.

The only game he did not start was last week if I remember rightly.

 Canes off to a really slow start.

 yeah but on the run on sheet he was starting on the bench 

 Landers 15 - 9 Barratt penalty.

 Ht 18-9 Landers.

 landers try canes cant tackle 23-12

 Landers try!

 canes look good on attack though just lacking any proficiency, d is kak.

 get rid of hammstt i dont kno wat kind of stupid attacking format that was, but so lateral. 35 - 12. I think canes may beat sa teams, a few ausdies bit not nz teams, nt playing like this anyway 

 Try Canes B Franks 36-17

 Yellow Card Landers!

 Brilliant break from taylor, Barratt try. 35-26.

Arghh well canes really wan that second half, Landers 35-31, canes showed promising signs, work on D could be a darkhorse, showed canes of old at times.

 hats off to both Teams for playing positive rugby.

 Bugger ! shoulda made Barrett my captain !

congrats to the landers, if theres any team i dont mind the canes losing to, its the highlanders.

game was a real tight affair despite the scoreboard, a real see saw battle up front with the major difference being sopoagas boot.

i often complain that teams are not taking the smart option with some of the decisions they make, the highlanders showed today liek the lions have with thier 3 impressive wins that a scoreboard that keeps ticking over is next to unbeatable.

hurrcianes forwards were dominant in the scrums, had more territory and possesion and attacked with ball in hand a lot more, but landers defence and sopoagas boot kept chipping away at them until they finally submitted due to hefty lead.

landers were more desperate in defence, they had to be cos of the sheer number of attacking phases the canes had, but were also the stronger of the two in the breakdown, full credit to their losiess.

backline negated each other, both teams had a ton of attacking class.
was good to see glimpses of the 2012 andre taylor though, hope thats a sign of things to come.
