Hurricanes v British & Irish Lions

Got on some Canes +8 earlier in the week, somewhat confident but the Canes front 5 haven't really dominated many teams in Super Rugby so far this season - so an obvious concern there. Boyd is a smart man however so I'm sure he'll have a game plan to minimise the number of set pieces.

Also on George North anytime try scorer.

Pretty handy having the All Blacks world cup winning wingers in your side. 'Canes only chance is to give it go and keep it loose.
Getting enough ball will be the problem for the home side but last hurrah for a lot of Lions players so hopefully they will want
to give it go too. Had a wee go at over 2.5 tries for Hurricanes.

gl brad,fwiw canes 13+

you 'cap backers needed that try but the pens are killing the 'Canes. Will be losing a man to the bin if this keeps up

bit of a tragic half from the canes

much better 2nd half so far tho

this could be a card, barnes talking rubbish about bringing him down safely

24-31

Canes score here & it will be a hell of a last 10 mins

31-31

Lions look rocky here

This is a big call for the nack roll. Looks like a pen

Gatland hardly used the bench? some of the Lions were out on their feet. I think he's only used 2 apart from
Russell for 5 mins. I know they were his late call ups but needed fresh legs.
Good game tho

second week in row he's refused to use the welsh boys he brought in.  should have had world class players on the bench ready to come on, decision to bring the welsh boys in and then not use them is disgraceful.  no mention at all on sky.
