 Good try to Lions. 

Carol Jane playing the fool with that knock on

 Woodward knocks on. Good field possession for Lions.

 big mistake Woodward,...... this are the kind of things that lead to a coming back

 Penalty to Canes, they will clear it out of their 22.

 Lions are using bench. We will see who has the better bench.

 Canes win the rolling maul from the Lions.

 someone is going to get injured with that crap field

 Canes defence was really good.

 good defense canes,..... lions cannot break it,...... not in the whole match

 Try  Lions. 60 mins gone.

 first time they break it,..... try for the lions

 still a confortable dif,.... 19 points

 Canes need to retain the ball for a while.

 Great break by Coles & another try for Canes.

 Dane Coles, the f*cking master,...... best hooker in the world

 Yes, perhaps CleverMike would agree the Canes tight five was ok today

 I doubt it   

 Savea scores.48-17 70 mins gone. Kick is good, 50 points.

 I must ask Beeno if it was the refs fault

 and that's all,...... congrats to the canes,..... great match

 Wow, Canes came back strong after the loss against the Chiefs. Defence was really good and they really won the breakdown. Some really good ball handling to of course.

 Global warming softened the turf and sapped the energy of our naturally faster more gifted athletes. But the good news is the Canes kicked more and the Lions passed and ran more.....bwaaaaaahahaha.

 Hurricanes thrash LionsNZ Herald

A magnificent first half performance by the Hurricanes set up a 50-17 rout of the Lions this morning in Johannesburg.

The New Zealanders scored five tries before half-time to turn 36-5 ahead and after a spell of second half dominance by the South Africans, the visitors finished strongly.

Hurricanes succeeded on an Ellis Park stadium pitch that cut up badly in places, forcing ground staff to intervene during the match and make temporary repairs.

It was the Hurricanes' second biggest win of the season after a 35-point drubbing of Australian side the Western Force and the Lions' heaviest defeat.

Winning with a bonus point thanks to a 7-3 try count, the Hurricanes stayed third in the New Zealand conference and on course for a quarter-finals place.

Despite being overwhelmed, the Lions stayed top of the Africa 2 standings, five points above fellow South African side, the Sharks.

Hurricanes' dominated the breakdowns and scrums during the first half and were helped by two gift tries after Lions' passes were intercepted.

Former Springboks TV analysts were unanimous in their praise of the Hurricanes, who have won six of seven matches since a two-loss start to the season.

"It was an absolutely clinical performance by the Hurricanes and the Lions faced an impossible task after turning over 31 points behind," said 1995 Rugby World Cup-winning fly-half Joel Stransky.

"Lions problems began at the first scrum and continued at the breakdowns. It was a very poor showing by them," said Naas Botha, another former South Africa playmaker.

Former Springboks coach Nick Mallett said: "The Lions were played off the park with the breakdown a key area of dominance for the Hurricanes."

Wingers Cory Jane and Julian Savea scored two tries each and centres Matt Proctor and Vince Aso and prop Reg Goodes one for the 2015 Super Rugby runners-up.

Fly-half Beauden Barrett bounced back from his poor night with the boot against the Chiefs, giving a near flawless goal kicking exhibition, slotting six conversions and a penalty from eight attempts.

Hooker Armand 'Akker' van der Merwe, centre Lionel Mapoe and flanker Jaco Kriel scored a try each for the Lions and fly-half Elton Jantjies slotted one conversion.

Jantjies, favourite to be the South Africa playmaker in a three-Test home series against Ireland during June, was below par and retired injured on 55 minutes.

After early Lions' pressure, the floodgates opened on 11 minutes when superb handling between backs and forward sent Savea over and Barrett converted.

Proctor intercepted a careless pass from Lions skipper and No. 8 Warren Whiteley to dot down unopposed and Barrett added the extra points again.

A Jane try was converted by Barrett, who also kicked a penalty for a 24-0 lead after 27 minutes.

Van der Merwe scored a try off a driving maul for the Lions only for the Wellington outfit to cross the try-line twice more before half-time via Jane and Goodes with Barrett converting the first.

Mapoe and Kriel tries narrowed the gap to 36-17 before the Hurricanes stamped their authority again and Aso and Savea scored converted tries.

Hurricanes 50 (J. Savea 2, C. Jane 2, M. Proctor, R. Goodes, V. Aso tries, B.Barrett 6 con, 1 pen)
Lions 17 (A. Van der Merwe, L.Mapoe, J.Kriel tries, E.Jantjies con)

Rampart Canes 

Rugby stuff article

Canes were on fire today, nothing much the Lions could do. The Canes dominated most aspects of the game, even the pack was good. 
Rugby 365 Man of the match: "Warren Whiteley, Jaco Kriel, Armand van der Merwe and Franco Mostert were all good value for the Lions. You can nominate just about the entire Hurricanes team, but the real difference was in the cohesive effort of the Hurricanes pack as a unit and how they blew the Lions away in the opening half. That is why they get our award."

Are the Lions the best SA team? They are top of the SA conference but it's still early days yet.
Lions should just flush that one down the dunny & move on.
