@nepia I think I understand now. A ginga Canterbrian did something traumatic to you!

I am more confident on the Nock call at 9 than I am as Robinson , as skipper ..I either being duped , or it’s spot on , put it this way I have’nt been let down by this source before , just hope it’s not a red herring.
-
@steven-harris it doesn't seem that crazy a prediction. Robinson has earned a start. He's in the leadership group (Which is only 3 players I think).

He was excellent last year at lock, I think we should try to keep all four of Sotutu, Robinson, Akira, and Dalton on the fields as much as possible

@kirwan I would prefer a bit more rotation. I would start Robinson at 6 and allow Akira to come off the bench - Akira has been out of sorts the last couple of weeks - plus the Blues have good depth at lock. A bench with Patty and Akira would be great.

Out of the backrow, I'd say Sotutu has had form dip more than any of the others.
And Akira has been coming off at the 60min mark, so he's not been overplayed.

@steven-harris good sauce...Paddy T out with a neck injury. Darry in and Robinson starts at 6 and (c). Aki on the bench.

What has Canterbury got to do with this ?
-
Can someone enlighten me why Robinson doesn't play more often at lock given the number of 6s in the Blues-he much prefers flanker or is missing some skill at lock? Looks big enough...

With Jordie Barrett in such good form with the boot, the Blues won't be starting any of penalty magnets on Friday. They must have been practising all week not to give penalties away. Anything with 65 metres of the posts. Boom, Jordie's big boot gets another three points for the Hurricanes.
