Parker goes aerial

Solid three phases by the Sunwolves

Booth with the carry

A very good evening from Prince Chichibu. I am Usie and I have the pleasure of bringing you live play by play action as the Sunwolves host the Hurricanes.

Ngani Laumape aside, the Hurricanes are yet to really impress in this year’s Super Rugby tournament. One would expect them to dominate the coming clash against the Sunwolves, though, and claim five much-needed log points.

Beauden and Jordie Barrett have been rested for this clash, as has Ardie Savea. Hurricanes captain Dane Coles is still battling a calf injury.

And yet the Hurricanes still have the power up front – and certainly out wide – to blow the Sunwolves off the park. According to Opta, the Japan-based side has missed the most tackles in this year’s tournament, and has the second-worst tackle-success rate (82%).
