Hurricanes vs Sharks
-
@Canes4life he’s been around forever it seems shouldn’t be too far away from at least making his ITM debut
-
@mikey07 If it's only as injury cover, he would be a good replacement. He hasn't been injured for a while (he played 11 out of 12 M10 Cup games in 2019). He's only 25; why younger? 2m tall locks are hard to find and he's been in the Canes environment for years. The Canes could do a lot worse.

The only change to the Sharks team that beat the Highlanders is the inclusion of Boeta Chamberlain at flyhalf in place of Curwin Bosch who has unfortunately had to deal with a family bereavement and has returned home to South Africa.

Just trained alongside the Sharks! Fark they are big'uns. Always interesting seeing how they train, lots of weighted plyometric stuff. A couple of props were doing drills. Very fast feet!!
Finally, SA teams taking Jake the Mus seriously.

@Higgins Taine is 5cm taller and will no doubt fill out more being a young lad.
-
@Canes4life Goodness, looks can be deceiving. Will have to get my eyes tested again soon as five centimetres can make a big difference to a man if it is applied to the correct body part!
-
@Higgins Lol why were you so close? Go and have another look at him on Saturday. Plumtree and Ah Koui (Chiefs) who played together at school are pretty much identical in height. Both are taller than Blackwell.
-
@Stargazer Lol Cridge can't even make the Hurricanes development team. Must be really good.
-
@Canes4life I've noticed the condescension in your comment, but I'll let that go. Cridge has been training with the Crusaders during preseason, so maybe he's still there. Or he has to work on Saturday. Plenty of reasons why players don't appear in the line-up of a development team.
-
I think if he wasn’t injured and wanted to make a serious crack at a rugby career he would be available for this match. We might see him in the Crusaders side then if he’s been training down there. Not sure if that has been named yet or not.
-
@Canes4life Damn stole my thunder...well I guess it’s good Flanders is getting game time more then just a 10 min cameo

@Canes4life Comedy gold Wellington4life
... we Magpies fans have been harder on Cridge than anyone as he got promoted to the Canes based on his Canterbury heritage, and then promptly got injured and barely played for anyone including the Magpies. Then when he finally got a decent run of games the Canes dumped him and prefer to play a midget lock from Wellington instead. -

Is this James Marshall at 10
-
@jegga a midget lock that hasn’t let the jersey down, played the most minutes for the Canes last year and has two times the work rate of Cridge. The fact that not even one NZ side wanted him suggests to me that he is just a bit shit or has a attitude problem.

You would have to wonder,Cridge trained with the Crusaders preseason they then brought in Alex Ainsley over Cridge and Ainsley is still with the squad.Cridge must not of made much of an impression.
