Is the Hurricanes a vastly over-rated team since they put in a worse performance than the Sunwolves did in their game against the Chiefs?   Are they the most over-rated team of all in NZ?


There is some answers  though - fact is the Chiefs forwards are poor in scrumming, but today the Hurricanes was worse then the Chiefs in scrumming,   In the line-outs the Hurricanes were pathetic.


There are still some people who believe that a team with a poor Tight 5 forward combination and star backline players can win matches - but I have serious doubts about that.   And both the Chiefs and the Hurricanes have pathetic Tight 5 combinations. 


I wonder how these two teams will do in their matches against SA teams?   


However, it was really a pathetic game with waay to many handling errors and penalized offensive,  Not a good advertisement for Super Rugby.

Ou maaaikie the Chiefs have improved markedly and all thanks to Beenos support. The Hurricanes are a good side.

I am not so easy to convince - I do not look at results only.- I look at performance as well.

Against the teams played before, bar todays game -

*    the Chiefs lost against the Highlanders narrowly and was disgraced by the Brumbies Sunwolves and Crusaders;

*    the Highlanders won two games and then lost against the Rebels - not really that good - id it?;

*   the record of the Hurricanes were not all that impressive - they beat the Waratahs and Highlanders narrowly, but lost badly against the Cruasaders.

In the games thus far the Chiefs forwards were a joke, but a worse joke was the Hurricanes forwards,   Hence my comments
