@antipodean can’t see the Rebels upsetting at all. If we don’t hit 50 in this game I’d be disappointed tbh, especially considering they are missing a few key players. Need to bump that points differential up because it could be crucial at seasons end.
So those players that have been rested are Numia, Walker-Leawere, Lakai, Roigard, Cameron and Proctor. Seems to be plenty of depth in the Canes this year.
Players on the injury list are Devery, Love, Umaga-Jensen, Naholo and Sullivan. Not too sure how long these players are out for but hopefully only a couple weeks.
That's why they're called upsets, you don't see them coming haha. I'm nowhere near as confident for 50 points, rebels are 2 and 2. It should be comfortable, but if they play like the first half versus the saders they could get beaten.
Aged like milk, I'm glad to say

Fark me. If Weepu ate all the pies then Tupou ate all the Weepus.
-
Turned a bit shite this half. Hopefully we can ice it with one last try.
-
Lol you can always guarantee 80+ points in a game that the Rebels are involved in, and usually they end up losing to similar scorelines .

Fucking Morgan throwing it forward.
Ah well we hit the 50 and that’s what I wanted pre game so happy with that.

Perenara is on fire tonight
Top two halfbacks in NZ are from the Canes.

@Machpants said in Hurricanes vs Rebels:
That just shows how mauls suck. Bal carrier basically unbinding to let players in from of him, then stretching out sideways where no defence can legally join to defend
And it clearly stopped after going forward. So in any decent game, that wouldn't be permitted to start again.

Godfrey speaks well, future star of our game. Reminds me so much of a young Beauden.
-
What with Godfrey & Sinkonson resembling Beauds & Barracuda, as well as Shields and Perenara out there tearing it up, that felt like a bit of a rewind.
Speaking of Shields, great to see him passing on his learnings to youngsters - Sangster is a bit of a toaster hands eh?
Top games from Perenara and Kirifi.
Great to see Jordie back in good form too.
Where was this Punivai for the landers? By the way @Canes4life his grandad lives in EB and used to be pres of the rugby club.
Rayasi disappointing eh, how does someone so big, break so little tackles? That trying to be the tough guy with late hits and shoulder charges after he'd turned it over for the umpteenth time was uuuuugly.
Lastly - why would parents name their sons to sound like a brand of soap? Carter & Mason. FFS

@Bones haha you nailed it with Sinkinson, he really does look like a Buckman, hard working and he even has the same haircut.
I knew Punivai was born in the Hutt but didn't realise his Grandad used to be the Pres of Eastbourne RFC, that's bloody cool. He carried strong tonight, hopefully he gets a few more opportunities.
What's with Rayasi aye? He just never learns, always runs far too high into contact and never protects the ball. Definitely don't think he should be in the Canes top 23, I couldn't trust the guy to help close out a knock out game, far too unpredictable.
Hopefully Godfrey gets more mins, he looks class but just needs more mins off the bench. Maybe he takes Rayasi's spot?
