Hurricanes v Stormers
-
@Paekakboyz Stats wise in Super Rugby, Laumape is killing it compared to Nonu at the same stage of this career - however we all know Nonu proved his worth at International level rather than Super.
The below strike rate is also very impressive.
-
@Canes4life that's a mental stat aye! Esp for an inside back. Loooove it!
-
@Canes4life Even more than Cully??!! Say it ain't so!!!
-
@Canes4life while still impressive, I expect if he gets to 85 games like Cully, or over 100 like any of those others his strike rate will have dropped markedly.

@KiwiMurph wow, that is really good. Would be really interesting to see if most of those are v Oz teams, or if he's been good all-round.
At the risk of switching codes Manu Vatuvei had a gnarly record before his form faltered in later years. I think he had 10 successive years of scoring 10 or more tries? only guy to have achieved that? and for quite a few season he was in the high teens. Just did a quick calculation off his wiki info and his rate is .67 (226 games and 152 tries). That is bloody good in such a tough comp.

@Paekakboyz
It is very good, though I think he has slight hungus tendencies.
Not Masaga level though. -
@Frank there can only be one hungus!! unless we talk league and add Kata to the mix lol

He’s not added to the mix, he’s the GOAT ... apologies Leilia you’ve lost your crown.

@Paekakboyz It has been against teams across the board. I can think of a number of runs / tries that he has scored against the likes of the Blues/Crusaders/Highlanders where he has run over the first line of defence and if not scoring himself he has also set up a number of tries aswell. A player on the rise that's for sure.

Big Eben has been ruled out of tomorrow with concussion. Big plus for the Canes and their undersized locking pair.
