[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 491307, member: 38640"] Jeeeeeezzzz. I was in the pub watching this and I said they'll score an epic try in the last three minutes to win. But after penalty after penalty after penalty and kicking away the ball, I was starting to ride them off. Then BOOM! Match of the season so far? Hurricanes deserved it in my opinion. They scored four tries to the Blues one. Only penalties let them down (some I think were pretty harsh as well). The Canes backline looks so lethal. Andre Taylor is leading the competition in linebreaks and has scored some amazing tries so far, and I've never really rated him that much in the past. As I thought though, he's much better at fullback than on the wing where he was last season. I think I saw one error by Julian Savea all game, but he's now starting to live up to his potential (looks like a carbon copy of a young Hosea Gear). Cory Jane was once again class. That being said, if the Blues had Kaino, Ranger, Mealamu and Toeava I think it may have been different. The Blues didn't create much and survived off the Hurricanes poor discipline, but with those guys they may have looked better. Why did Anscombe not go on? Never really rated Michael Hobbs. Final note; anyone else think Alby Mathewson was brilliant for the Blues? [/QUOTE]
