So I'll take that.

Well, it was amazing, wasn't it?

You know, everyone knows I'm a big blues man, but, you know, the Hurricanes has always been sort of a team you admire.

Played against them back in the days in the 2000s, but over the last three years, really, you know what I mean?

They should have had a real go at it maybe three years ago, two years ago when they lost to the Chiefs at home.

But, you know, the Saturday was, and I talked to people, it was a game to remember, an exciting game, which when there was only one way traffic, you know what I mean?

It was a no contest game.

Chiefs went in it sadly but it was still exciting to watch and I watched it from the start of the game to the end of the game because it was just that gripping sort of try offloading and a kind of game you want to see on telly.

It was.

You know, I do love a tight game too.

That sort of brings you to the edge of your seat and you're watching every moment.

But I think that kind of game in the weekend for that final, it was the kind of game you sat back in your chair and just enjoyed it.

You know he was going to win, but you could just enjoy all the tries that was happening and all the skill on show.

Yeah.

Oh, you know, I like the squad.

You know what I mean?

It's hard to say.

You know, I don't know if there's been many squads that people sort of turn their nose up at the ABs.

It's full of good players.

They've picked some guys who had some outstanding seasons for the Hurricanes, which is most probably just good.
