    A strong team with some players returning from long-term injuries.

    Good to see Higgins back, as well as Sinkinson and Cashmore. Tidy backline that one.

    I'll be interested to see the Chiefs team, but with the injuries the backline will be WTG and U20 players probably.

    I'm more interested in seeing how Israel Time, Nui Muriwai and Ietitaia Campbell go as I have never really heard of them although in the back of my mind can recall seeing a guy called Muriwai playing for Thames Valley a few years back. In light of the Hurricanes reported financial struggles would it be possible that they are former Wellington club players now based in Hamilton that have been drafted in to make up the numbers on the bench for this game as a cost saving measure?

    Muriwai is from the Waikato (played for University) but went down to Wellington last year as an injury replacement for the NPC. He was a regular in the 23, usually backing up Preston.

    Nailed it, yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he became a permanent fixture in that Wellington 23 next year. The weather might be fairly average for this game so it might come down to the battle of the forwards.

    Canes instagram looks like Proctor running around in full flight. Also saw that stuff article saying Brett Cameron trying to make it back before the end of season which is pretty crazy.

    I saw that video at the airport, which clearly shows Proctor. IIRC you can take 27 players for overseas games.

    @Bovidae Yeah, shows Sullivan, PUJ, Proctor, Higgins and Fineanganofo. Might see some rotation in the wingers this round

    2027? He'll be running out of time to sign for the Blues and complete the SR set. 🙂

    @Bovidae reminds me of Ross Geldenhuys who played Chiefs, Hurricanes, Highlanders, Kings, Lions, Stormers, Cheetahs, Sharks and Bulls. He's got to hold the record for most super rugby franchises played for.

    @handa457 did he actually play for the canes/chiefs? Pretty impressive, looks like he's still going?

    He is ok, nothing special but can do a decent job at wing.
    But why are we not playing Fehi Fineanganofo who is a game breaker?

    He is one of the HIA absentees.

    @Bones yup as an injury replacement got a couple of games for each Franchise from memory. He was an injury replacement / transfer to the Bulls in 2009 when they won the title and won a second title with the highlanders in 2015. The ultimate journeyman.
