In a repeat of the inaugural game in Super 12 rugby, the first ever Super 14 game was played tonight with the Hurricanes (hooray!) visiting Eden Park to play the Blues (boo!). Although they didn’t play well in the first half and went in at the break 16-3 down, the ‘Canes decided they would play rugby after all in the second half and won the game 37-19 to start the season with a bonus point win and second place on the table. Isabel’s favourite Tana Umaga went off in the second half with a calf strain, so we’re not sure if he’ll be playing next week, but time will tell.
