Hurricanes vs Chiefs

ACT Crusader

A lot will be happy that that loose forward trio. I had thought that MSR would be in the 23.

That is the best back row for the Chiefs. Jacobsen plays similar to Cane so I think his best position is probably at 7. Finau and Sititi bring plenty of hard shoulders

Winger

I thought the tight 5 might decide this match

But it might be Cameron. He's had a few poor games and if he has another one it might be the killer for the Canes

I hope he performs. Then I can see what the Canes forwards are like. The real deal. Or not quite there yet. But Cameron needs to nail his clearing kicks. And not gift tries to the Chiefs etc. He was ordinary against the Blues but the Blues had bad luck with injuries

I'm really looking forward to this game. And hopefully the weather forecast is wrong.

@Winger don't forget Jordie wasn't playing against the Blues, he usually takes plenty of pressure off Cameron with his big clearances. However, with Roigard no longer there and Perenara's box kicking not up to the same standard, that will mean Cameron will need to take more responsibility in that area.

@Winger forecast looks horrible for tomorrow night. Could be bucketing down. I'm thinking of going but won't if it's a shambles.

Hurricanes named for the curtain raiser, Sullivan makes his return.

Chiefs Taua? I've never read/heard that name used before.

Pretty crazy backline for the Hunters.

Good to see Jon Preston & Dane on the pine too.

@foobaNZ that backline is better than a few top teams in Super Rugby, great depth.

Tucker and Howden must be injured. Either that, or they've been called into the main side tomorrow night.

Wallace : the Manawatu 19 yo prop ?

Canes4life

@cgrant yep, it will be Logan Wallace the prop.

Bovidae

Surely you can't have 9 reserves.

@Canes4life
And who is Coles ? Dane Coles ?

Canes4life

@cgrant Sam Coles, the NZ Under 20s fullback.

cgrant

OK, thanks.

Curtain raiser would be an interesting watch.
