That's funny. Good speed and determination by PUJ but that ball carrier must be waking up at night thinking 'why didn't I dive?'

They picked Ngani Laumape for the Hurricanes' player episode of 'All Access'.
The full episode can be found on Sky Go and Sky sport Now: -
@stargazer All backs so far, disappointing!
-
Three great weeks past for the Hurricanes.
Two, possibly three, massive weeks ahead for the blokes in yellow and black.
Given their squads are both rammed to the brim with internationals the Blues and the Crusaders must be favourite for the final.
But I would love it if we can be party poopers. Our destiny is our own hands. Definitely dark horses for the competition.

How can letting the hapless Waratahs in for the best part of fifty pointy be classified as part of great week?
Well it's better than loosing by that

Bonus point win. Happy dayz.

@sparky if we can field all of Evans, Savea, Coles, Barrett, Lomax and Perenara mixed in with the youthful exuberance of Numia, Flanders, Love, PUJ, IWL, Rayasi and Aumua the Canes easily have the firepower to win this comp.
I feel a lack of experience in this side was their downfall in SRA but we are now getting that experience back in spades so hopefully that puts us in a good position going into the latter stages of this competition.
Being the dark horses will suit us.
-
@canes4life You have made the major miscalculation of leaving out R. Prinsep so it will never happen. J. Blackwell will obviously partner IWL in the middle row and B. Proctor will shunt PUJ into the 12 jersey. This still leaves the other wing position up for grabs but then you would not be surprised to see R. Love slotted in there to free up the first five spot for the teachers pet JGB!
-
@higgins yeah well it’s obviously up to the coach and selections but there is enough talent in this squad to get the job done. Whether Holland decides to use it is another question.
Lol JGB is gone for the year isn’t he?
-
@canes4life As a HB supporter I desperately hope he will be back to hinder the Wgtn Lions!
-
@higgins don’t think he will be. It’s Morgan and Love’s time to shine. 😀
-
@canes4life Maybe not as there is an good list of other young superstar hotshots brought in from outside Wellington that have not "made it".
-
@higgins you could argue they’ve both made it, atleast at Super level as they’ve both secured contracts - something that a certain HB fly half has failed to do.
I’ve got close sources that are mates with Perenara who thinks Love will definitely be an All Black. He’s certainly shown he can command a backline, something that McClutchie needs to show more of before taking that next step.
Perfect opportunity for him to do just that for Hawkes Bay this year.
-
@canes4life Jeez you talk some absolute bullocks when you’re on the troll. When has Love shown he can command a backline in his short first class career? He’s the most babysat 10 ever to enter Super rugby. I’m no fan big of Jordie but he does all the commanding in the Canes.
-
@nepia I’m the troll? Jog on. You blokes seem to be the ones that keep harping on about it and then get offended if anyone else mentions a player outside of Hawkes Bay that might have potential.
If McClutchie was the little master that you guys keep making him out to be he would be in Super Rugby by now. From what I’ve seen of him he can’t even dominate at NPC level, what makes you think he will be any good at Super.
-
@nepia Love also hasn't commanded a backline for the Wellington Lions as he played fullback for them in his 5 games. McClutchie has done it for years at NPC level.
@Canes4life I don't doubt Love has a lot of talent, but stop talking shit just to put McClutchie down, because we all know he's not in the Canes squad because of all the favouritism that's going on. That favouritism is not just my opinion, but I also know people close to the Canes and they confirm it's an issue that's been there for years and they are Wellington supporters, who are very worried about the state of Wellington 1st XV rugby!
Oh, and Love signed with Wellington because they could throw more money at him and offered him accomodation to go with it, something Manawatu couldn't do. I am sure people in the Manawatu set-up aren't happy about that either.
