Not so sure they can pull off a win against the Brumbies.

Hurricanes are either going to cut Brumbies to pieces or carry out self-harm and bleed to death.

you are sounding like skopshyte with his predictions

Sure hope this Stefan Breytenbach palooka is kept far away from any more of our games this season. He’s the brightspark who “missed” Morne Steyn’s blatant knock-on at Loftus and then the following week wrongly disallowed a possible match-winning try for the Highlanders in Bloemfontein.
He’s real class!!!

@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-6: Wasn’t registered on this site then & unfortunately have to work on Saturdaus so didn’t see that game but heard all the whingeing afterwards.
Rather unfortunate that Marius Jonker reffed both games I’m talking about and has to take the flak for that wnaker don’t you think?

@BrumbiesBoy(BrumbiesBoy)-7:
honestly, yes i do think so because the saffa refs have far and away been the best overall in the comp so far. yes, they do make mistakes but it pales in comparison to the stuff the anzac refs have been doing overall.

I work for a large Fruit & Veg company and trust me, you get a couple of rotten apples in every box…

@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-9: no ways man! marius jonker is just an embarrasment! how did he “FORGET” to issue a white card after sbw got tip-tackled and the asst ref said he didn’t which player it was when the rules CLEARLY say?

Where a player makes a complaint to a referee who did not see an incident
Can be in addition to a yellow card or penalty
Referred to the Citing Commissioner for review

@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-9: “yes, they do make mistakes but it pales in comparison to the stuff the anzac refs have been doing overall.”
marius this year alone:
1. missed a blatant knock on in the bullls game.
2. when james haskell punched justin downey, the asst ref who saw the incident said “definitely RED, TWICE” but marius gave a yellow, WHY?
3. luke morahan tip tackles sbw, the asst ref says he didn’t see the number, marius tells horwill & clarke “a tip tackle was spotted but we don’t know the number, so you’re lucky”
come on!

@BrumbiesBoy(BrumbiesBoy)-10:

@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-14: Well, it could be worse, it could be stinky rotten eggs…wait…no sorry…that’s CSA I’m thinking of…
Sorry Gerald…

@Transformation(Transformation)-12: Hehe, he is not alone. Just remember Kaplan’s famous line “I can’t remember” to his beloved Waratahs last year.

@Transformation(Transformation)-13: And one must wonder why Bullies have never lost when old boy Marius is in charge.

Really cant see the Brumbies beating this team in Wellington – do the bookies know something different.

If Canes can dismantle big bus of a no8 Brumbies employ……will take them a long way to victory.
Have your say
