Interesting Josh Goodhue is captain and Ross Wright is seen by Blues as a hooker.

Does Orbyn Leger listed as Blues mean he is the replacement in this year's Blues squad for the injured Matt Johnson I wonder?

Tom Coventry: Coach

Also good to see!

Bovidae

Tim

I've posted the Hurricanes U20 line-up here: http://www.thesilverfern.com/post/210029

Who are going to this game? I'd love to hear how our Hawke's Bay boys are going.

Oh, and you guys may be happy about Perofeta's return, the Canes U20s have Asafo Aumua in the squad.

Duluth

I'm going. I will give comprehensive updates on everyone that doesn't play for Hawkes Bay

Stargazer

@duluth Haha, cheers, so kind of you!

Why are there two guys in that team from Japan?

Here’s me thinking it’s The Blues development team, not the bloody Sunwolves development team!?!?

Snap! See my response to the Chiefs Development team line-up.

Gunner

Looking from my couch, I reckon Scrafton would make a good captain.

Steven Harris

@tim Ben Nee Née has signed with Harbour for the 2018 season

Tim

@gunner He and Gibson might be decent options.

Ross Wright

Duluth

7-5 Blues late in the first half

Lots of errors in attack in the first quarter for the Blues. Canes try came from a Plummer grubber that went wrong.. 60m run for the try

Canes on the goal line for ten minutes but great Blues defence held them out.

Plummer got an outside break and feed inside to Visinia for the Blues score

Duluth

That’s the HT score

Blues finished that half ok. A lot less errors now

Duluth

Canes score early in the second. Didn’t see it well.. a pick and go from short range I think

Clarke responds with a powerful angled run from 20m out. He looks scary at full pace

12-12

Duluth

Intercept Gregory, 40m unopposed run under the posts

Blues 19-12

Duluth

Two breaks from Plummer both force Canes penalties. He takes the shot 22-12

Duluth

Good team try from the kick off, multiple phases, good linking. Finished by Storm.

29-12
