Force v Hurricanes
-
The Force going with a 6/2 bench. Two loose forwards.

I have doubts about Moorby but no one is clearly better so fair enough. He's a safe option that won't set the world on fire.
That's super interesting, I feel like he's been one of our more consistent backs of the last couple seasons. Having him on the wing instead of fullback is a great move aswell, I think he's more suited there. Shields highlighted him as the player to watch for the Canes in 2024, apparently he's been gassing people at training and is in great nick. Alongside Roigard he's apparently the fittest player in the team so hopefully he can have a breakout year and make that 14 jersey his own. I'm expecting big campaigns from our back three (Love, Naholo and Moorby), they are well balanced and they have the capability of taking our attacking game to a new level.

Tosi's a big lad

@Winger Tosi could be secret weapon for the Canes. He's a massive lad and can move around the park fairly well. If they can keep improving his scrummaging he could be a real weapon off the bench.
Our propping stocks are looking fairly solid, we've got three fringe AB props in Mafileo, Numia and Rakete-Stones and then obviously Lomax as an incumbent AB. If Tosi comes on we could be set in those positions for a while as they are all around a similar age.
Hopefully Tosi can be that Loni Uhila type player that was solid without being spectacular. He was influential in our first title win in 2016.

@Canes4life Funny thing with Tosi, he is actually from Levin originally, went to school with my granddaughter, and she always talked about this friend who used to eat her egg sandwiches (she hated them), and I always refer to him as the égg sandwich guy' when talking to my wife etc!

@Duluth as in within the last 24 hours? That's good news for the Canes if true but a blow for the Force. I can't really see them beating us tbh. With their captain out, their young gun first five not available, and a host of tight forwards injured it's going to be a big ask. Looks like they don't have too much impact off the bench. Lacking a bit of firepower tbh.

@Canes4life Yeah a training injury just after the team was named apparently

Anyone else stayed up for this?

Why are we wearing black? Think it would be a clash with Blck and Blue of the Force.
