@akan004 Only reason he made the All Blacks is his family name. Very average player.
Disagree. Jordie's a class act. He's played big, big minutes this year and the tiredness showed at the end there. Somewhere along the line Jordie should have been given a rest.
Yep. Canes have overused the heavy artillery and paid the price as they look jaded now. Not just Jordie but Lomax Blackwell and Kirifi as well. Numia possibly overplayed as well. Mind you they missed the workrate of Prinsep who needed a break. I feel sorry for the likes of Toala Aso and Fifita.
Thought Campbell was excellent in first half at setting runners away. -
I made the grave mistake of accepting a free ticket and going to watch that travesty.
Not enough the Hurricanes were awful, or had to deal with hometown TMO input, or that the stadium is a cold shithole. Worst is being surrounded by Brumbies fans who know nothing about rugby, complain endlessly at the top of their voices. To the point you have to ask why they go if their only objective is to force an aneurysm.

That crowd was probably the worst I've ever heard.
Every single penalty call against their team - BOOOOO...! Regardless of validity.
As soon as a chance of a card arose... "Off! Off! Off! Off!" - regardless of validity. And then a massive "BOOOOO!" when a Yellow was given.I know all home-crowds are some-what one-eyed in these regards, but this was just so much more feral. Was it a crowd of people not knowing rugby, and therefore just parochial without knowledge of the laws? Or just... dicks?

Both. Brumbies supporters are generally speaking the worst I've ever seen. Massive chip on their shoulders, ignorant and more concerned with their team winning to bring some joy to their miserable middle level public servant lives than actually enjoying rugby. There's just enough of them in a small crowd to ruin it for everyone.

@mariner4life seriously? I thought it was bad enough when the music in the ground kept playing when we were throwing line outs last week but that is too much

It would make a great thread.
Worst Rugby crowd you've ever been part of.

Haha. I was given a ticket and when I saw it was zero degrees outside and the wind shield at Bruce stadium is the worst ever, I was not going anywhere near that game.
The fact the rugby was dire vindicated my decision.
Aussie rugby is BACK!

Prinsep is so much better than the chumps that the Canes fans hype up every week.

I wouldn’t accept a free ticket to Canberra let alone a Brumbies game in June.

@tim those little knock ons that sometimes get missed ,swings and roundabouts in Ardies case..I think you will know what I am talking about ..

It is annoying that our record in Canberra is so bad, we have to take all their shit and still don't come away with a win to stuff down their faces

Haha ok so Jordie isn’t up to AB level because he choked with his kicks tonight. So who is? Dmac who choked with his kicking in the SRA final?
Jordie definitely rushed those kicks though, why?Lets be honest though, this comp would be even more of a joke if this Canes team made the final.

Before the thing started, I was wondering whether they'd make the final a sort of conference final - between the top NZ team and the top Oz team.
They'll be breathing a sigh of relief they didn't go down that road.

I had the Brumbies to win by 6, so the canes did well....

@taniwharugby I also backed the brumbies on the tipping and the Tab so I’m quite happy the way they played they deserved to lose.

Classic chokes from a guy who isn't near good enough to play for the All Blacks. Jordie Barrett is absolute rubbish under pressure.
