...Great move here. First Gareth Weaver gains a couple and passes to Pilgrim. Pilgrim gains a couple as he hits the accelerator and offloads to Nova. Looked a little bit forward here, and Nova busts through a couple of tackles to gain 9m. Good Tackle by Sam Verigotta and a ruck forms. The next phase to be played from 40 metres on the Sharks side of the halfway line. Pilgrim scoops this one away to Adam Smith on the fringe. Adam Smith is tackled by David Dafter for the Sharks and a ruck forms. The ruck is contested but the Hurricanes show good ball security and extracate the ball from the ruck. The next phase to be played from 41 metres on the Sharks side of the halfway line. Ed Ames with the ball on the run here. He's already gained 6 metres. He's going to be tackled by James Hughes but not before he manages to offload to Alistair Son in time! Great pass to the guy who's been abusing him all night long!! The next phase to be played from 47 metres on the Sharks side of the halfway line. Alistair Son with the ball on the run here a clear overlap and he dives for the corner. Great finish to a lovely move there. TRY TO Hurricanes Conversion attempt for the Hurricanes. Kick to be taken by Ed Ames. Great kick. He's nailed that one and they earn the extra 2 points. Canes 18 - 27 Sharks
Hutchinson is down in the half-way zone after that last play. Not sure if he's injured, but the coach brings on Devonshire just in case.
72:00 Damien Taylor is tackled by Shane Masters for the Sharks and a ruck forms. The ruck is contested and the Sharks players pile in. I think he got a little isolated there and to add insult to that piece of poor play, Taylor has been pinged for not releasing the ball. A very kickable penalty for the boot of Scoble here. The next phase to be played from 36 metres on the Hurricanes side of the halfway line. Penalty to the Sharks to be taken by Matthew Scoble. From here, they're going to have a Kick At Goal. A great connection for him there and he secures the 3 points. Canes 18 - 30 Sharks Back to the Canes needing 2 tries now, really.
Restart to the Hurricanes. Ed Ames with the kick. He kicks deep. That's gone to Sam Verigotta who takes the catch cleanly. Verigotta immediately passes to Scoble. Scoble to Graham who runs up to the line and passes to Tyson. Luke Tyson with the ball on the run here. He's moving sideways at the moment in the face of a good defensive line. He lets off an awful pass in the tackle. That's been knocked on and we'll have a scrum here. The next phase to be played from 18 metres on the Sharks side of the halfway line. Scrum to Hurricanes. Great work by the Hurricanes. They've secured their own ball and win that scrum with ease. The next phase to be played from 18 metres on the Sharks side of the halfway line. Pilgrim passes a cut out ball to Rogers. Karwin Rogers is tackled by Simon Laing for the Sharks and a ruck forms. The ruck is contested but the Hurricanes show good ball security and extracate the ball from the ruck. The next phase to be played from 18 metres on the Sharks side of the halfway line. Pilgrim again. To Ames, back to Pilgrim on the wrap around. This looks like a rehearsed move...
