[@joepeace8094]

if you don't want to tackle just stay at home

[@fredrickloki6791]

What the F*ck were Rebels doing on that Pitch!!!...

[@davidstewart1630]

Laumape will be try of the week this week.

[@dominicstemp5690]

Captain obvious

[@carosardahenriques.de-gran7533]

5 min and 13 seconds 40 seconds passed before the game started Who may I ask wants to hear that they are playing in New Zealand The highlights are already way to short as it is

[@KiwiGraggle]

Really nice to see those forwards show some skill and that Aumura I think it is spelled is really coming along nicely now.

[@Kbeats4Uknow]

Can let the NZ teams get it out to their full backs and wings. Poor defence from the rebels

[@timothysmee8598]

🌀 Just too much for the rebels they couldn't handle the weather

[@kkim5342]

Unconvincing definitely. .the canes

[@Wilton81]

It's sad to see so many empty chairs.

[@cassiuscompton2646]

Yup they dont know how lucky they are weather ya 2-3hr get those supporters on the bus and make a day of it as these pommies soccer supporters do

[@saveriofontana4562]

The first hurricane's try could be the best try of the week, for me...power and running and final try.

[@markhamer7220]

It is time Will Genia hung up his boots.Totally ineffective.

[@Seriousasaninfarc]

Is that the #22 Hurricane? Very undersized, did not seem quick enough to compensate.

[@kofiopam5828]

@@Seriousasaninfarc genia is rebels halfback

[@shiftleft]

Barrett bros. need passing practice, when passing to the right.

[@OG-nj3zz]

Is it just me or did anybody hear the commentator say the Canes won 'unconvincingly'.

[@OluBaKonZo]

Yes, very odd

[@Ese96Agoaye]

Well, they did lose the second half 3-19.

[@willyschitumba5914]

Ongama Mafenuka it was unconvincing, they definitely ran out of gas

[@ianondieki7825]

Goosen is on fire this season

[@2nightsoff278]

Ja, Goosen has really grown as an overall player being in the Canes setup.

[@zephanish]

Koribeti of the rebels made so many defensive reads, how is he even a wallaby?? If he makes the wallabies squad ahead of Maddocks or Cam Clarke then Cheika is completely clueless

[@conormahon6984]

Does any team is super rugby want to defend

[@satiriconexpulsado6538]

this match consisted more in the lack of defense, because the forwards were good on both sides! the weakest defense was that of the rebels! Anyway, being an open match, try against try, it was fun!

[@dantonsteenkamp7672]

Good job hurricanes

[@Karma-qt4ji]

Not really, they seem to have only played for 40 minutes. Only saw this highlights package so not sure what happened in the game itself but it looks like they fell apart in the second half?

[@RugbyLatestNews]

It’s official, super rugby teams can’t depend for shit

[@shiftleft]

I bet your publication can't proofread for shit

[@docgonzales]

Depend on who?

[@bakhtiarsb248]

seriously rebels? some of u are in the oz team. expected more fight actually. congrats hurricanes.

[@roberttrindade7238]

👍👍👍👍

[@cliftonboyz1959]

running back Laumape

[@joeyleung23]

Quade cooper post him kicking on Instagram but couldn't kick in the game. Genia dying his hair instead of working on his half hearted tackles

[@Villafarrell]

Ah yes, the game of two halves

[@ashleyclassen3628]

Why is it so difficult to beat a new zealand team....The crusader will take the super rugby cup again....BACK TO BACK

[@satiriconexpulsado6538]

because foreigners who play against a team in NZ, are not smart enough? the kiwis are frustrated by a closed defense and the slow ball! the question would be: do you want to beat them with a typical kiwi game, or own?

[@cassiuscompton2646]

And that’s the reason why Laumape will never get start & if lucky get picked for the All Blacks this season, his defence was shocking tonight & the difference between Fifita vs Savea his massive & I had high hopes for fifita

[@2nightsoff278]

Laumape is there for his attack not defence. Every player has strenght and weaknesses, the coaches keep that in mind than balance out the risk and reward come selection time.

[@cassiuscompton2646]

@@2nightsoff278 you r right in that sense that they get the right balance. I know he will make world cup team & he will start a few matches for sure but come quarter-semi-finals time thats were his luck will run out unless he kicks on from here

[@2nightsoff278]

@@cassiuscompton2646 Yes, true story,. He made his debut against the B&I Lions in a very tight series...I do agree that he has to better his defence.

Arrogant canes can't do that against crusaders hahaha

[@phluphph9860]

I'm sure the marketing gurus at NZ rugby know exactly what they're doing but some days I think their sole focus is to simply wind me up. Grant Nisbett's commentary has long been a bug-bear of mine (he has no analytical input, he just states the flaming obvious for 80 minutes (once you see it you can't unsee it)). But add into the mix female commentators, religious experiences by the players after every try they score (do they look upward when the opposition score, I wonder?), injury stoppages at just about every set-piece and every NZ stadium at every game bellowing the same 1980's mixed-tape recording of classic hits such as Poi-E and Slice of Heaven, and I have to come to the conclusion that I'm simply becoming a cantankerous old fart.

[@smeetsnoud1]

Lovely comment, couldn't agree more. Especially about Nisbett, stoppages, and the atmosphere at the park

[@FlatSpinMan]

Phluphph Yeah, fucken women wanting to, you know, participate in society. Wish we had the Taliban in NZ, eh mate? Fucking knob.

[@phluphph9860]

@@FlatSpinMan My apologies Sir/Madam. I meant to cause no offence with my comments and I certainly regret forcing you to respond with such vulgarity. I must say it has come as quite a shock to me to learn, by way of your well-thought out arguments, that I have been a terrorist sympathizer all this time and that I'm on the same level on the totem pole of evolution as Jake 'the Muss' Heke. But does one ever truly know oneself? Rest assured that I shall present myself for re-education as soon as possible and if I've caused you to spit your coffee over your framed photo of Jacinda, I can only apologise for the trauma that must have caused.

[@FlatSpinMan]

@@phluphph9860 Not that this really will make any difference, but surely if a woman can be a doctor, a teacher, a scientist, an astronaut, one can learn enough about the laws of rugby and speaking into a microphone to a level sufficient to be a commentator? That's why I called you a fucken knob. I concede I didn't need to go the Taliban route but if you're so stupid as to think a woman can't call a sports game in 2019 then you're an idiot.

[@phluphph9860]

@@FlatSpinMan Once again I must wholeheartedly agree with you. I am indeed an idiot. For example, you wouldn't believe how many inane conversations I get involved with on the Internet. As to women being able to do anything they want, it's a message I try to impart to my daughters at every opportunity. And if Game of Thrones has taught us anything, it's that women can [spoiler alert] even kill a Night King with enough training, a green screen, and a sufficient budget [/spoiler alert]. As to rugby commentary, I offer you this olive branch: how about we do a nationwide search for a man with the dulcet tones of Barack Obama or George Clooney. A sort of George Obama if you will, but with a Kiwi accent and the wit and insight of that legendary rugby player, Ian Smith. Then, on every game day George could self-identify as a woman. Surely we'd all be winners on the day?
