@chris Wow I don’t think there’s enough ABs in that team as much as I bleed yellow and black I have no faith in the Hollandgoround and his selections Saders by at least 12.

It will be interesting who gets selected for the Canes, put the best team on the park and its a real fight.
But Holland leaves half your better players in the stand at times.

Hopefully even that moron Holland will select our best 15 available for this one - crucial we start winning some matches in a row too, will be embarrassing if we miss out on the top 8 in the play-offs.

I really don't think he has any clue what our best 15 is.

Canes haven't started with a midfield combo of PUJ & Sullivan at all this season.. would be very keen to see it

Why would you want a ball-boy and reserve wing as your midfield? Are you crazy?

Kirifi just gets rewarded with another start and still no PUJ. Cripes. At least Jordie is still at 12.

Well at least we dropped Prinsep.

Rayasi and PUJ must be leaving. Our two most potent backs and they can't even make the bench. Laughable.

[Higgins]

@duluth Thanks for posting that. It now makes submitting my Super Rugby picks that much easier now. Was seriously considering an Away 1 - 8 but now it makes an Away 17plus more than a serious consideration.

Scarcely believable. Could be a ploy to confuse the Crusaders, especially when he makes the starting lineup as a late change.

[Stargazer]

The only thing Holland got right is the frontrow.

Rayasi is signed through to 2023, but PU-J, Flanders and Sullivan all come off contract this year. Sullivan only in his first year at the Canes, so might sign on for another year, but I can see PU-J and Flanders look elsewhere. Not sure where Flanders would get more starts though. Ardie will likely leave after the RWC ...

Julian Savea still has another year after this one.

But didn't put Flanders straight in there.

[foobaNZ]

@stargazer

The irony is I'm sure most Canes fans have PUJ, Sullivan & Flanders in their run on 15, or on the bench at worst.

Lol with Holland I take what we can get. I'd have Flanders there too but at least Howden is a step up from Prinsep.

[mikey07]

@foobanz Totally agree with Howden the rest of the team though….I can’t believe I’m saying this I hope we get pumped big time MIGHT wake the board up to this crap.

[Bovidae]

I'm looking forward to seeing how Howden goes. I was impressed with him when I first saw him playing for the NZ Schools Barbarians. He was playing lock but 6 is his position.

I said the same thing last week, then about 30 minutes from kick off the lifelong fan in me kicked in and I wanted us to murder the Chiefs haha.

But in the long run - the sooner this coaching group is gone the better.

[foobaNZ]

@bovidae he'll play well, but make a few mistakes as he's young, so Holland will drop him for a month and bring Prinsep back.

Have you met me before? I care about the Magpies, and Magpies players first and foremost. I don't care about your Canes other than how the two quota Magpies players go.
