[QUOTE="Sneaki, post: 383386, member: 21570"] I think the scoreline flattered the Blues in the end, the Canes were in with a real chance of winning that match for a while. But after Munro scored that try they just seemed to lose interest somewhat, it was a bit sad seeing Hore on the sideline after that, having to watch your team lose as captain while you're in the bin would be heartbreaking. I think one of the turning points would have to be when Nonu was subbed off for Hayward. Honestly I can not comprehend the stupidity of this decision, it defies belief that they would sub their main attacking threat who was looking in decent form. Hayward's still pretty inexperienced, and he was just thrown in the deep end here against a very dangerous backline. As far as standouts for the Canes I thought Jane, Nonu, Smith, Savea, Taylor (effectively the entire backline) all looked dangerous in patches. Vito was impressive as usual and Lam/Levave both played pretty well too. As for the Blues Ranger, Payne, Kaino and Mathewson all looked good, though I may have missed some because I wasn't really paying them as much attention. The Canes are off to Melbourne next week to take on the Rebels. On paper it looks like a relatively easy away game but the Rebels have been playing fairly well at home compared to their trips to Queensland and NSW. [/QUOTE]
