I've been seeing all the Canes games live, we are playing solid rugby. Gopperth is only 21 but plays like an experienced first five (discount his shocker vs the Bulls), the backs are sorta clicking, the forwards aren't falling apart, we aren't winning games with that trademark "Hurricanes flair", but we are second on the table with a 6-1 record. Our schedule was tough this year and is very back loaded, we had a tough tour of SA with a depleted squad, and to close out the season we have to play the Crusaders, Brumbies, Highlanders and Blues and then be fresh and ready for the Semis.

I really hope the Super14 expands the playoffs to more than 4 teams, ideally 8 teams in the playoffs would be good, for me anyway.
