Hurricanes 2018

Blackwell is too short for a lock. He's had a start at 6 for Wellington but never did too much. He was called up last year and started a few games when the Canes had a lot of lock injuries. But I'm unsure why they start someone at lock who is far too short rather than having a look at Isaia Walker-Leawere. Maybe Isaia is not fully fit yet.

He was named in the 20 jersey for today's game, so I assume he is fully fit.

I hope Isaia is fully fit. He was the lock that played with Lousi in the Canterbury thrashing last year. That was his last game as he was due to have a planned operation. But this pairing I thought was outstanding. I see Isaia as a perfect impact lock (or maybe even 6 or 8).
And I hope Goosen went well at centre. I would prefer him at center and Jodie back at FB. Or 1st if his brother is out. Please not IHAIA
. I would almost give up on these coaches if the start him again. -
I would like to see JGB start at first next week if Jodie
doesn't (assuming Beauden is rested) just to see how he goes (his doubters may be right). Shame this game wasn't televised. -

The Hurricanes U18s play Blues U18 in Taupo today. Apparently there are two Canes squads: the Perenara XV and the Coles XV. Will post line-ups if I can find them. There will be clips/updates here:
