Yellow for Potter early on
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Fairly lacklustre first 40mins to the season so far.
Maul defence has been good, lineout hit and miss.
Scrums have been poor and the canes have targeted this weak point to good effect.
Too many one out forward runners getting caught without support and ref is quick to give holding on penalties.
Backline seems disjointed. Not really clicking.
A few good backline plays but very poor execution letting them down.
Hurricanes 3 tries to nothing at half time, with two of them being fairly easy. the Force's only foray into the canes 22 at the very end of the half, coming away with nil reward. Canes start the second half with a man in the bin in what seemed a fairly soft yellow for offside

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Kirifi's cheap shot didn't look great

Marley Pierce vs Jordy Barrett head clash.
I have one question.
Why didn't Jordy go off for an HIA?

Showing some spark here. Similar storey of last year - too little too late?
Or canes feeling the heat of a 30deg Perth night? They have been dropping to one knee for water breaks at regular opportunities
Force Wasted 5m lineout has gifted possession back to the Canes, but they are showing some heart
What's the attendance?
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Good defensive pressure by the force on their own 22m line has earned a penalty, but the lineout lost on halfway after a good touchfinder by Donaldson.
Now force scrum with a new front row earns a penalty. Let's do something with it

And the canes walk a maul straight over for a try.
Force forward reserves now falling off tackles and giving a lot of ground in scrums. Lineouts also struggling big time
5mins to go, 37 - 14 to the canes.
Just looking to save face now
Anyone know why Kaitu'u didn't get in the 23? Don't think he would have missed 5 in a row
