Hurricanes 2022

Losing our first match makes it pretty vital we win this one... so silly starting plodder Prinsep & there's 3 or 4 on the bench that should be in the 15, also a bit risky starting Julian Savea in the midfield.
Be interesting to see how Tuivasa-Sheck goes... Blues have gained a very good power lock in Romano.

That's where you put the stuff about the match, not on this general canes thread. It's a match discussion thread, this isn't

Ok, will do that from now on.

Surely it's now obvious Iose, Flanders, Love & PUJ should be starting to our coaches?
Hopefully IWL, Scrafton & Bird are back soon. I'd love a IWL & Sangster second row.
The back row must be Flanders, Savea & Iose. Gibson on the bench.
Love, PUJ & Sullivan looked amazing together. Stick with them.
Goosen, Rayasi and Barrett back three.

Bird is out for the Season.IWL out for a while so I have read.

Oh right - well to be honest Bird is probably the weakest between the 3 out, so it could be worse. Is there a time line on IWL & Scrafton?

I haven't heard how long for Scrafton so maybe not long.
IWL I read somewhere his injury will take a while to mend.this from a Hurricanes press release "Lock Isaia Walker-Leawere is also in doubt for most of the season after suffering a shoulder injury".
The Hurricanes are already dealing with a major injury blow well before next year's Super Rugby season is even underway
22 November 2021
Veteran prop Owen Franks tore his achilles while completing running training three weeks ago.Coach Jason Holland says he'll be out for most of the season, but at least they have time to look at contingencies.
Lock Isaia Walker-Leawere is also in doubt for most of the season after suffering a shoulder injury.

Scrafton is due back next week I believe.

@canes4life Dare we hope the miracle of a Sangster Scrafton locking combo?
I wouldn’t mind seeing Tosi given a game he could add some impact with tiring players. -
@mikey07 after last nights performance there is plenty of food for thought in terms of selections for next week, I’d start with:
- Rakete-Stones
- Aumua
- Lomax
- Scrafton
- Sangster
- Flanders
- Savea
- Iose
- Booth
- Love
- Rayasi
- Umaga-Jensen
- Sullivan
- Goosen
- Barrett
Pasilio Tosi showed how much of a beast he was in the NPC, if he could have a similar impact like Loni Uhila did back in 2016 then that would be a bonus.
-
@canes4life I like that line up how happy would we be if Holland listened to us and picked it.
-
@canes4life
That's wishful thinking. If fit, Blackwell and Proctor will always be in the starting XV. -
@cgrant said in Hurricanes 2022:
Concerning the midfield, I am surprised that no one has mentioned Bailyn Sullivan. he was the form centre during the NPC. I'd like a combo with 12.PUJ and 13.Sullivan.
I also hope Higgins could get some time on the paddock as he is a very good prospect. He is a strongly built second five, and he could be useful in a position where options are not great.I was wrong when I wrote this a month ago. Proctor is an automatic choice in the midfield, even if there are players who are better than him.

You were bang on with that call - Sullivan looks the goods at 13.
If Proctor is at 13, I reckon he makes that break, but 100% he doesn't make that pass Sullivan did to Ardie.
That was a Conrad Smith pass. Right on the money.
