Blues vs Hurricanes

[Canes4life]

@foobaNZ that's the most obvious one aye. Two form 8s going at it.

[Duluth]

10/12/13 selection will be interesting without Ioane

Perofeta was due back about now. So it might be Profeta/Plummer/Heem

If he's not back, it's likely a choice between Plummer/Evans/Heem or Plummer/Heem/Lam

[Tim]

@Duluth They might want Heem to mark Barrett.

[Duluth]

@Tim

Yeah that's the way I think they'll go if there's no Perofeta. Evans seems to be the 10 cover so he should probably concentrate on one job

Not sure if Cashmore is injured? Personally I'd prefer a specialist ten as the backup

[george33]

@Duluth Zarn and Akira back also

So basically everyone is back except Christie?

Damnit I was hoping Christie would be back.

Not cool

[george33]

@Duluth looks like it , maybe bench opinions for a couple, and I'm not a selector but all available, except Reiko, Christie and not sure about Josh

[Canes4life]

Current odds at the TAB are Blues $1.72 and Canes $2.02

Long range forecast for this game is perfect conditions.

[Tim]

@george33 Who is cover for Fusitua? Reneta switching sides?

[Machpants]

I support canes first, blues second, but I think the result will be the other way.

[george33]

I'm hearing that Finlay is now a good chance to make 23, he's very close

[KiwiMurph]

Both teams will be in their retro jerseys I believe

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph makes sense, first ever Super Rugby game was between the Blues and Canes in those jerseys so will be a timely throwback.

Palmerston North! I remember it well. Canes were robbed ... or the Blues were a really really good side.

That was rugby like we hadn't seen before, just consistently awesome to watch

Yep and the good fortune to be there. Was A Canes' man from that day forward.

Blues favorites simply because it is Eden Park.

Plus the Canes are without Roigard and Aumua.
