[Bovidae]

I can't believe that van Wyk's hearing has taken so long.

@Stargazer how does Lowe deserve more of chance? He's a winger...

Isn't Toala injured?

By not moving Aso to the right wing, but keeping him in the midfield with PU-J.

Isn't Toala injured?

Nope, he's been playing club rugby for Hastings.

[Stargazer]

This is a SR debut for Florence, isn't it (assuming he comes off that bench)?

[Kiwiwomble]

pretty much full strength, cant argue much with the selection, think they starting XV have all put their hand up

Florence is an openside isn't he? interesting call, Hunt isn't on the list of guys i would sub

I'm surprised Toala hasn't even got one start even if just in the reserves. He was good in the one actual start he got last year but seems out of favor now

And what about the other locks. Fifita, IWL and Leaupepe. Whats happened to them along with Fidow

[Canes4life]

@Winger yeah I would like to see Toala aswell. Him and Umaga-Jensen formed a fairly good combo when they started together. Seems like a while ago now though.

A 6 at schoolboy level but seems to have been converted into an openside.

@Stargazer the levels they are going to, to not use Walden! He has been a bad, bad man...

[Stargazer]

@Bones Thomas apparently, too!

Oh geez....his form this season made it too easy to forget him...

[Stargazer]

@Bones Mentally already checked out and headed for Japan?

[Bovidae]

According to Coles some Canes players aren't 100% keen on playing this game.

[Canes4life]

@Bovidae as much as I want to see a good game under the roof I wouldn’t blame any of the players for pulling out.

[Bones]

3pm kick off?

[Yeetyaah]

Sooooo this game has to be without a crowd then?

[Kiwiwomble]

is that the deal? i havent seen anything

@Kiwiwomble back before we went to level 1 the guidelines were clear that level 2 meant no crowds.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Yeetyaah deleted the smart arse reply explaining COVID?

I was just checking as you made it sound like there may have been an announcement

@Bones have they announced a time change?
