35-21 Canes. Just over a minute to go.

This has been a good game of footy to watch.
Pity the Red team lost.
Apparently the Canes are now the top NZ team.

Game.
Barrett nails a long range penalty and it's 35-21 with a minute to go.
Scoreline won't reflect how close this game was.
Hurricane's are finishing with a wet sail.

Definitely. I think he will be better for his time in Scotland, but I look forward to him coming home.

Did Barrett just think he was Benji Marshall there.....
Reds need to lock him in now (for 2016??). He has made a difference with Scotland - more starch.

Really fun bit of play from both teams as they kept the ball alive a couple of minutes after the 80. Canes opting to tap and go on a couple of penalties, good to see.

The Reds look both to be a lot less fit than previous years and also much more poorly coached. Many more displays like that and Graham must be gone. Diabolical on defence and that is Graham's area. Poor on attack too.
Dumb decisions by the coaches too - why start Daley?
Just head scratching all round.

I don't know why players play if it's always the coach's success/fault. Is it a possibility that the 2011/12 Reds' opposition were concentrating on something else at the time?

What - like not playing football? That was a rubbish trolling comment.
I'd respond if I even had a clue what you are on about. But I'll give it a crack, as I am in a generous mood.
Defence coach leaves, defence gets worse, reasonable observation to make.
Oh wait, I'm guessing it's saying the Reds title was marked with an asterisk because it was the RWC year.
Thanks for that if so.
You're nothing if not consistent.

Why scratch??
RG was poor in almost every dimension of coaching and selection and team motivation at the Force, why would he be a man transformed at the Reds? Why were you and others expecting him to do so much better at the Reds?
This is the question no one here seems to want to answer or address.

Yeah defintely. Although he was put in some pretty bad positions tonight. "Here you go mate, what can you do."

Well that was fucking pathetic
At the end, all I wanted to see was him pin his ears back, and put a big fend on, but he stuttered, and dropped it. Plenty of time to learn.

From my armchair, the game just didn't seem close even though the scoreline was for large parts of the game.
Reds defence was all over the shop. Some players coming in, some staying in the line, it really lacked cohesion. The back 3 got exposed and didn't seem to be on the same page.
You knew that if the Canes could make their passes stick that they would score.
