Hurricanes v Blues

[KiwiMurph]

The other option is Aumua.

[Duluth]

Might as well have a look at Tele'a

I wouldn't trust Aumua or Nonu defending at 13

[Dice]

It'd be nice if Sotutu got some big minutes in this game and Robinson got a bit of time at lock.

[Nogusta]

@KiwiMurph SBW & Ma'a fairytale reunion!? One for the fans! Haha

[Canes4life]

Nonu getting a start one last time on Westpac would be nice. Maybe even the Hurricanes could pay tribute and rename the stadium for the night.

[KiwiMurph]

Nonu to 12....WaterBoy Tana to 13?

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph quite funny that waterboy Tana is with the Blues and Waterboy Carlos is with the Canes.

[Canes4life]

Will most likely be a rookie midfield for the Canes, Umaga Jensen likely to start but who knows who his partner is going to be. Maybe Toala, Goosen or even Lowe?

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer Good team, however seeing Parsons there really gives me hope the Canes B side will still get up.

[taniwharugby]

not that numbers on jersies means a great deal, but they have again named Robinson as the lock reserve and Goodhue as the loosie reserve.

Pulu's final game for the Blues according to their website.

No faith in Lindenmuth this season.

[KiwiMurph]

Happy to see Tele'a at 13.

Bit of a missed opportunity otherwise - no Sotutu and why is Scrafton starting.

[Dice]

Sasagi is a strange call-up for us. He's 31 and probably not part of our future. I would've just chucked Adams in there.

I'm wondering if he's been injured. He wasn't in the Suburbs team last week.

[Duluth]

Looks like the Blues deleted their tweet that listed the team?

Here's the team again

1 Alex Hodgman, 2 James Parsons, 3 Marcel Renata, 4 Patrick Tuipulotu, 5 Scott Scrafton, 6 Dalton Papalii, 7 Blake Gibson (c), 8 Akira Ioane; 9 Augustine Pulu, 10 Otere Black, 11, Rieko Ioane, 12 Sonny Bill Williams, 13 Tanielu Tele’a, 14 Caleb Clarke, 15 Melani Nanai.

Reserves: 16 Leni Apisai, 17 Hisa Sasagi, 18 Lua Li, 19 Tom Robinson, 20 Josh Goodhue, 21 Jonathan Ruru, 22 Harry Plummer, 23 Ma’a Nonu.

@Duluth Took it down on Instagram too. Their IG stories have Lindenmuth at 17 and Sasagi at 18.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues have put up a new team with some changes now.

11 Clarke 14 Rieko

17 Lindenmuth 18 Sasagi
