Hurricanes v Blues

Bovidae

@labcat Apparently Holland has talked of Rayasi's work rate, and getting involved a bit more.

That is fair. Rayasi is great when he has the ball but doesn't do a lot off the ball (a criticism of a lot of wingers). I watched Rayasi closely in the Maori-Moana Pasifika game and he looked disinterested if the ball wasn't going his way.

Was really looking forward to seeing Zarn Sullivan's progress this year. Disappointed that he's not even on the bench. Is he injured?

He wasn't listed as injured

I guess he was squeezed out because of the 6/2 bench

Duluth

On that 6/2 split, what happens if Perofeta gets injured? Clarke, Telea & Tele'a don't really offer fullback cover.

Would it be Plummer dropping back and Tele'a coming in to 12?

KiwiMurph

@duluth yes.

@kiwimurph thought Caird was very poor until the last couple of games in mitre10 2020.

taniwharugby

@muddyriver probably around the time his signing was announced...season started with him sharing time with Temo.

But last few games he was excellent, particularly the semi v Otago.

Yeetyaah

Odds on the Canes wearing their alt kit for no reason?

Duluth

Good power from the old Savea

Duluth

Forward pass at the start of that

Winger

Very poor from Flanders. Cost 7 points

Tim

@duluth Odd they didn't challenge it.

Yeetyaah

Lmao Fifita you pillock

Billy Tell

Surely canes should have used their ref call for that pass from black?

Nevorian

how far did Black bring that kick closer to the posts, i thought try was scored about 10m to the right

Pass to no one. Lucky bounce for Papali'i.

akan004

Terrible defence from the Blues.

antipodean

This will be a travesty if they come back for a penalty for the Akira tackle.

Toddy

I thought head highs were yellow cards now?

Stargazer

Not Flanders' fault. Blackwell or Fifita should have caught the ball. Miscommunication between those two.
