80	Goppoerth chips wide to Gear, who takes it superbly! But then he loses it in the offload! The stry of the 'Canes' day. Hooter goes. The Force's tournament is over, but the Hurricanes are in prime position for that semi-final spot here in Wellington. Cheers from the rain!
78	Giteau hoists an ineffective high ball. It comes back the Force's side, out to Haylet-Petty, but he spills it in contact.
76	Shepherd pounces on a loose ball, chips ahead, hacks ahead, he's toe to toe with Waldrom... he's scored! Check with the TMO, but... TRY FORCE! 21-8!
75	Very uch seems as though the Hurricanes have settled for the win now, the game has lost a lot of the intensity. KNock on by MItchell as he tries to inject some pace, but its a turnover. A kick ahead, and Gopperth just beaten to it at the goal-line! Elliot and Tialata try to maul it over, but it's held up short.
74	Bryce Lawrence has pinged Tialata for a dangerous tackle... after looking at the big screen for advice! Incredible!
73	Lovely hands in the conditions out right, to Gear, into the 22. To 8m out with SChwalger... then the knock on. It is excusable though, the rain is atrocious.
71	It is bucketing down here, as we see the Hurricanes have had 82% of the second half territory. GIteau kicks long, and the ball skids into touch. You can barely see the other side of the ground the rain is so hard!
70	Jane claims an excellent high ball, offloads to Guildford, and then Weepu makes a superb one-handed pick-up, Goppoerth kicks wide, isolating Shepherd. Cleared, then run back by Gear, but his offload is at Nonu's bootlaces.
68	Another messy line-out from the Force, but they at least get this one back. Stannard clears.
67	Superb kick by Jane down the touchline as Giteau once again is forced to kick and does so ineffectively.
66	Gopperth is on for Ripia... fresh running legs. GIteau clears as Gear loses the ball down the right.
65	Now Giteau's restart doesn't go ten! Unreal!
64	Weepu hits the conversion left.
63	Another Force line-out goes wrong. So'oialo takes it again, now it's on. Out wide to Jane, to Gear... TRY HURRICANES! At last! 21-3!
62	Force trying to run it out! Tatupu makes good ground, then is taken high by Thrush. Sharpe busts through on the tap, but loose ball n the recylce, and Weepu clears long back into the Force half.
60	O'Connor is smashed by Nonu in midfield, and the ball breaks loose! Waldrom hacks through, he's got the pace... but not the finesse. BUt we go to the TMO, with referee Kaplan looking for a possible penalty try... Stannard got there first, and earns his team a 22.
59	Free-kick at a scrum for the home team, So'oialo takes it on. Weepu blind side, but Masoe knocks on.
57	He curls it round perfectly! PENALTY HURRICANES, 16-3! Now... tries!
56	Safe line-out for the 'Canes, So'oialo drives on, Pocock pinches it off the side... but he's penalised, and gets a yellow card for his eforts. Tough call, but now can the 'Canes make the numbers count? Weepu lines this one up...
55	Waldrom pinches a ine-out! He gets to a metre... and holds on to the ball! Free-kick Force, that ust be nine lives already!
54	HUrricanes sneak the line-out, out to Nonu, a long pass wide, but it's forced, and the ball rolls into touch. Surely a try coming soon?
53	Weepu shows how to do it, taking the ball off the scrum and bouncig a kick perfectly into touch in the Force 22.
52	Ohhh, Giteau's restart goes out on the full, he's having a shocker today!
51	He lands it! PENALTY HURRICANES, 13-3!
50	Turnover ball at the line-out though. How long can the Force hold out... still a bit longer, as the ball is turned back over. Stannard clears, Nonu runs it back. Tialata drives. HUrricanes get a penalty for offside, and Weepu must surely kick this...
49	Nonu busting now as the 'Canes forwards once again drive it on into the danger zone. Weepu out, but again the pass goes awry, and to touch.
47	Hore drives brilliantly, Waldrom now, Ripia out wide... but again the final pass goes begging and is knocked on by Guildford in the tackle from Mitchell. Amazing to think it is still only 10-3 after al this pressure.
46	Scrum Force on their own line, reset once, huge pressure from the Hurricanes pack, but Giteau clears. Jane runs back excellently. Nonu, out to Eaton. Gear in midfield, Waldrom then, so strong!
44	Ripia, short to Guildford! One metre out from the line. But a knock on in the ruck... frustration building for the home team.
43	Penalty to the 'Canes as Pocock is caugt offside. Weepu dabs it to the corner... Hore territory again!
42	Weepu chips...and regathers! So'oialo now, taking it on at pace. Guildford takes it on, Ripia grubbers through... but Pocock wins the race, and the 'Canes have a 5m scrum!
41	SECOND HALF: Sharpe claims the restart. But a good counter drive by the 'Canes pack. Cleared, So'oialo catches then kicks straigt up n the air! Works out ok though, as Mitchell is bundled into touch.
40	GIteau clears to touch from the free-kick for holding on. One more line-out for the 'Canes. Guildford takes it into midfield as the hooter goes. Hore in midfield. Nonu out to Jane who knocks on, and it's half-time. The Hurricanes well incharge, but they need to capitalise in the second half. Can they? Join us in ten!
39	Free-kck 'Canes on teh Force 22. Out to So'oialo who busts through. Out to Nonu who is wrapped up. Nonu and So'oialo drive together now. Nonu again! Right up to the tryline...Masoe, Weepu, bth have a stab at the line... but excellent Force defence on the fringes, and a fight breaks out!
38	Hore finds Eaton at a line-out, spread wide to Smith who makes a gain. Ripia dabs it through, Pocock takes it into touch. Game has lost its intensity here as we appraoch half-time.
36	Free-kick to the 'Canes for holding on. Hore lays it back, Guildford dancing through, Eaton gallops on. Hore again taking it on - he's having a stormer! Weepu down the blind side, to Thrush, another one playng well... he's just knocked into touch in the Force 22.
35	Thrush takes a line-out, Hore drives on, plenty of close quarter stuff from the Hurricanes as the rain comes down harder. But fould play? Bryce Lawence calls Weepu for a stamp, and the Force get a penalty. Hurricnes in control... but they almost look bored with it!
33	Here we go, out to Jane, so close to the line! But the ball comes back, and Mitchell does ever so well to wrap it up and force a penalty!
32	Out to Nonu, who juggles, then accelerates, but is caught short. Tialata drives on. Nonu tries to step again. Out to Tialata again, inside to Gear, still 5m out...
30	Weepu mows down Giteau on the blind side! HUrricanes to 2m out, Hore territory... Tialata takes it on, but over the line? TMO called...it's a 5m scrum.
29	Odd line-out throw, but So'oialo takes it well at the back. Weepu darts. HOre drives. Free-kick 'Canes, scrum taken.
28	A lucky bounce has Masoe, the Thrush taking it forward. Out to Guildford, but excellent work by Shepherd turns it over. Giteau clears.
26	At last! PENALTY FORCE, 10-3!
25	Ball wide toTatupu as the Hurricanes lose their line-out, but Waldrom tackles brilliantly. GIteau kicks, but Jane's return is stright up in the air, and then a penalty for offside... third time lucky for Giteau?
24	Game has gone a bit flat now, the Hurricanes are sucking up some pressure. Turnover, out to Nonu, but Pocock turns it back over. Out to Mitchell, who boots it to touch direct again!
22	This one drops under the bar!!
21	Tatupu makes a half-break, but the tackling is good... and now Hore is caught offside... and he kicks the ball away for good measure, that was silly. Giteau lines it up...
20	Penalty Force as Pusey is dragged down in the line-out, and Giteau clears to half-way.
19	A brief break for an injury to Sharpe, but he's ok. Scrum goes down. Reset and Weepu nudges it down into the Force 22 once more.
18	Still the Force getting some better continuity though. Up front anyway, but the ball is slow as the backs take time to organise. Giteau kicks... and the ball goes dead!
16	But he pushes it wide! He is not on his game tonight at all.
15	Young O'Connor caught in possession in midfield, but he gets away with it. At last some Force continuity, and they get a free-kick. Giteau chips, and Jane spills it, then Weepu picks it up from an offside position, so Giteau has a chance to put the Force on the board...
14	Force win a turnover at the restart, and Stannard opens it up. Out to Haylett-Petty, but a knock on, and Weepu kicks clear from the scrum.
12	Weepu's conversion is good! 10-0 HUrricanes!
11	Guildford puts in a lovely kick to touch in the Force 22. Giteau tries a quick one to himself, but the ball doesn't travel 5m! Quick line-out, a couple of drives, Hore takes it... TRY? We go upstairs... yes it is! TRY HURRICANES! 8-0!
10	A bit of Force possession now, but Giteau drops it onto the boot once more and Jane clears. Shepherd returns, and then Weepu puts in a lovely kick bouncing into touch near the Force 22.
9	This one screws wide in the wind though.
