@stargazer Toala and McClutchie on the bench. Interesting. You’d think they would be able to make the starting Moana Pasifika 15.

They have two games vs Blues next week (Tuesday and Saturday) so i'm sure there will be rotation.

@kiwimurph looking at that side it could be a very long week ahead then.

You reckon we'll lose against MP?
-
@machpants I was talking about MP having a long week, and thought you were backing them? Haha
I think the Canes will win this one comfortably.

Is Sangster injured ?
He was ruled out against the Highlanders with a niggly injury so maybe he's still getting over that.

Toala has been good. Was surprised he wasn't in the XV but then the coaches will have their reasons.

Surprising that Jordie, Lomax and Ardie not being rested in this match. Keen to see Moorby - but wanted to see him at 15. And good to see Parsons get a well deserved chance, and Cam Roigard back.
They have had time off though .

I feel like it's actually the opposite. I think the likes of Ardie, Barrett etc need gametime after having the last two weeks off. Going into the Chiefs next weekend after not playing for three weeks would have been a big ask.

No James Blackwell but Reed Prinsep to captain the side.
Those returning from injury are Scott Scrafton, TJ Perenara, Tei Walden and Cam Roigard.
Other notable selections: Brayden Iose deserves a start at 8, Peter Umaga-Jensen back where he belongs and Josh Moorby makes his debut on the wing.
Don't know much about Walden & Moorby ?
Painful to see the plodder at 6 & also captain.
Morgan is a good running back, but didn't look comfortable playing at 10 for Wgtn in the NPC, hope he performs better in that position in this match... be interesting to see if Love is properly fit coming off the bench, in our last match he certainly wasn't running freely.
Moana Pasifika Named For Round 6 With Hurricanes – Moana Pasifika
