They kick for touch, out on halfway.

Come on Canes! We need a converted try against the Blue Bulls… er that should be against the Blues without the Bulls.
Hobbs made a big difference since he came on…
Canes have to run it up from their own line…
They kick out.

@ Just For Kicks:
I had Canes by 2!
Arghhhh…. with seconds to go I was bang on the money…
… then the Blues squander possession by kicking the damn ball in stead of holding onto it…
… and the rest is History!
