Hurricanes v Western Force
-
got a feeling Canes would rest a few players including Ardie, however Lomax and Jordie should be backskeez after their "mandatory" rest. might make a sneaky trip up north for this
-
From the Hurricanes reel on Insta and the assumption that players wearing yellow are involved on match-day, the Canes 23 will look something like this. I could also be totally wrong so will be interesting when the actual team is named.
- Rakete-Stones
- Coles
- Lomax
- Blackwell
- Bird
- Flanders
- Kirifi
- Iose
RoigardBooth- Cameron
- Rayasi
- Barrett

Well I was a little off but hey, good to see Daniel Sinkinson get a debut and interesting to see Harry Godfrey start at fullback. Understandable considering Moorby needs a rest, Proctor aswell for that matter.
It's going to be a very long day at the office for the Force me thinks.
Hopefully Godfrey gets a few minutes at 10 at the backend of the game, also good to also see Riley Higgins on the bench aswell.
Still no Ruben Love which is a big concern.
So those rested or unavailable for this game are: Ardie Savea, Asafo Aumua, TJ Perenara, Xavier Numia, Justin Sangster, Caleb Delany, Jacob Devery, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Tyler Laubscher, Ruben Love, Billy Proctor, Josh Moorby, Peter Umaga-Jensen, Julian Savea, Pasilio Tosi, Reed Prinsep

@Canes4life very close hmm very suspicious lol yup a very long day for the Force. its a great line up! excited to see Sinkinson and Godfrey in there too

Godfrey gets a start! Wow, didn't see that coming.
If Love's injury is more serious than first thought, Godfrey might end up playing a big part in this campaign. He seems to be the like for like replacement as he has the ability to cover 10/15. It's a good opportunity for him while Morgan is out aswell.

Agree. Will watch with interest how both go. Surprised that Lakai isn't starting at 8. And hope Blackwell doesn't drop too many balls this match.
Good also to see Higgins in the reserves. Hope to see him getting reasonable game time at 2nd 5. Maybe if they manage a good lead and Barrett moving to FB. With Cameron or Godfrey off depending on how both are playing
I wonder who does the goal kicking? Cameron was VG last week

Cameron seems like a sharp shooter at close range so I’m happy for him to take the close kicks and Barrett to take the longer kicks.

Where did you get this from?
Details were on the Canes website in recent weeks. But not this week. One improvement to keep the fans informed they can only keep up for a few weeks perhaps

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes v Western Force:
@Winger All contracted Hurricanes players minus the matchday 23?
Pretty much.
I saw someone commented on the Hurricanes post asking where Ruben Love was, the Hurricanes replied but only said he was unavailable because of injury. I wish they provided more detail like other franchises.
-
Devan Flanders injured in Hurricanes training on Friday and has been replaced by TK Howden. Wellington’s Hugo Plummer comes onto the bench.
-
@Canes4life Bugger. What kind of injury/how bad?

Cramp.

Typically the Canes haven’t said what injury occurred but I’m surprised they’ve called up Plummer, who despite being an up and coming lock only managed limited mins for the Lions this year.
Players on rest must not be able to be called upon.

Who would they call up. IWL could be if he's not injured I guess. Ardie I think must be rested this week
