Hurricanes vs Highlanders
-
I'm not a Highlanders supporter either. I don't really support a Super Rugby team, to be honest. I just follow young players who I think would be good in the ABs.
I guess I feel it's all very well and good saying that we need someone who can keep the defense in check - but if that guy doesn't exist, the coaches have to work with what they have. And I think this is one of those cases. I don't think there are any 10s in the country who are Super Rugby quality who aren't being selected (maybe D'Angelo Leuila aside - not sure what his situation is, but I imagine his ineligibility for NZ holds him back).

As mentioned though when you're struggling in the 1st-five area it's well worth giving a young fella a go... if the Canes hadn't given Love an opportunity we would've had to put up with Garden-Bachop, who is nowhwere as good as him, Love makes a dangerous Canes backline even more lethal.

Yea, I get your point. But like I said, there isn't anyone that is ready for that. Millar and Faleafaga definitely aren't ready, and I think putting them out there would do more harm than good. There aren't any other 10s around who look like they're quite there yet. Perhaps Cashmore could be an option next year.
You do need a player of Love's quality, otherwise you're just training up the next guy who may some day become the next Hunt.

Cashmore impressed at the Crusaders when training with them.He maybe the next decent young First Five who is ready to step up next season.

Is he still with them? Learning from Mo’unga for a season would be very useful for him.

I am not sure if he is still there,He might have gone home just before they moved to the Queenstown bubble.

Yes Nephew.

I’m hearing Logan Henry has come into the bench for tonight. Either Judd or Booth has been pulled from the 23.
-
Aumua looks to be out aswell. Raymond Tutupu (I believe) coming in on the bench as the Hurricanes 6th hooking option.

Caleb Delany. Welcome to the Canes. He’s had a fantastic start.
Set up by Love and finished by Stones. Great try.

Soft tackle error by an openside letting a prop waltz through.
