Good win. Nice one Hurricanes.

So that's all five NZ franchises with a SR title. Took the four southern stragglers a while to collectively get there in the wake of the trailblazing Blues hipsters, but better late than never.

Great win. Great sequence of defensive performances as well.

As much as I like the speed of the Hurricanes defense, at times there were players sprinting up solo and creating dog legs. Luckily the ones I saw actually got their man but if they'd missed it could end badly. Cipriani was a shocker for this when he was playing in Melbourne.

Still, they did very well defensively at the ass end of the season.

Beauden Barrett is a freak too.

I'll have to stop calling them chokers...

So just how crucial was the Jaguars' upset win over the Lions in the final round of the regular season? Bienvenido, Argentina!
