WELL DONE HURRICANES, 2016 CHAMPIONS!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Game Rating - 8/10
It was a tough night for attacking rugby due to the conditions, but both teams tried their hardest anyway. Lots of mistakes were made in attack, however it was the Hurricanes defence once again that was the star of the night conceding only three points to a high scoring Lions side.
The game finished with the Hurricanes forcing a turnover via penalty due to the Lions not releasing. It was the perfect way to finish the season as this championship was won on defence. The Hurricanes have not conceded a try throughout the final series.
Defence wins championships as they say & the Hurricanes defence might just be one of the best I've ever seen.
GO CANES
