Hurricanes 2022

@canes4life Totally agree but very out of character for the current coaching group to make smart decisions.
-
-
@machpants the lineout for Wellington has been superb with Dom Bird coming in aswell, so not too displeased if Tito comes in.
Being a fellow red head though means he will most likely keep picking JBlackwell.
-
@canes4life I thought the forwards apart from the 2nd half disintegration against Waikato seemed to have a lot more “steel” about them under him.
-
@mikey07 yeah that's what I noticed aswell. We looked really hard to contain with the likes of Aumua, Fidow, Bird etc being really direct on attack. Too bad we had no depth on the bench when injuries struck.
Lockdown has probably saved our bacon a little bit, allowing that big injury toll to re-coup somewhat.
-
@canes4life Saw Numia has been training the last couple of days off his Instagram, so the longer this goes on definitely the better for us.
-
@mikey07 interesting that Numia's partner plays for the Cantabs.
-
@canes4life Probably wants to play for a title winning team (that hurt to write that)
-
@canes4life I wonder whether that has already to do with a possible women's SR comp, next year? She made the Black Ferns playing for Wellington, so obviously something changed. No money involved in women's rugby, so that can't be it.
-
@stargazer yeah interesting. You’d think it would be a lot easier on their relationship if she stayed in Wellington. Who knows what the story is there.

Are they married? That would explain things

Nah, even gingers hate gingers. Tito won't favour Blackwell.

@crazy-horse Like when you show a Siamese fighting fish a mirror.

Yeah, ginger Siamese fighting fish are that little bit feistier.

I don’t understand the hate that Blackwell gets. He’s a solid SR player regardless of his height.
Same with Prinsep. I get the argument that he shouldn’t start that often.. he’s not the most dynamic carrier but he gets through a lot of work on defence. A good squad option.
Is it mostly provincialism?
