Super Semis?
Any precictions? I'll back the away teams. Landers v Chiefs final. I certainly expect the winner of the first semi to take out the championship this year (Canes or Chiefs). But I don't think the home advantage will be a factor in that match at all. If anything, the Hurricanes seem to perform better on the road than they do in their home stadium(s).
If they're good enough to play at World Cups, why not in between?

Re: Super Semis?
I'm hoping the Hurricanes host, and win, the final. Doing so would give the NZRU a royal flush, with each NZ franchise having won at least one title. Plus I don't want to risk those cow cocky's drawing level with the Blues in the number of titles held.
On the other semifinal, given their recent travels and the quality of the Lions, the Highlanders would do well to still be in the game at half time. But I'm still holding out hope that the Highlanders can troll on for one week more.

I want a repeat of last year's final. Semis will be great regardless.

Re: Super Semis?
Chiefs very cagey, but probably more structured. Might tell in the long run, but they need to shut the yellow down now.

Hurricanes are their own worst enemy, giving away dumb shit penalties.

Beauden Barrett and Ardie Savea are astonishing talents.

Reckon the breeze might be a factor in the second half too.

HT 15-6 canes. Hurricanes winning the marquee match ups, but very close to conceding a yellow if the Chiefs can put more pressure on in the second half.

It was real basic discipline though, and they were lucky not to see someone in the bin when the Chiefs were banging on the try line.morepork wrote:cashead wrote:Hurricanes are their own worst enemy, giving away dumb shit penalties.

As it stands, the Chiefs have lost the momentum and Rennie's probably shouting the house down at them right now.

No idea what Cane was thinking there. Lucky not to get a 10-minute break.

Re: Super Semis?
Barrett's got a ropey old goal kicking style, but I must admit his percentage has improved lately.

That's a well milked penalty. Not my favorite move.
