I have a feeling Clan have done Canes a favour starting Banks, I convinced he is 2 years past playing super rugby.
Now you watch the bugger prove me wrong!
I'm more than happy to see how he goes. The alternative is Hunt.

Highlanders results vs Hurricanes from 2016-2022
(the year after the Highlanders won the comp seemed like good place to start the range)Good advantage for the Canes overall
However it's pretty even in Dunedin over the same period: 3 Highlanders v 2 Canes
-
Not a Southland fullback any longer...Northland def look on the better end of whatever deal with getting Moorby & Apoua up here with Gregory going there.
-
@taniwharugby Moorby and Justin Sangster are probably the two finds of the season so far for the Canes.
Moorby looks like a young Ben Smith so I bet the Highlanders are kicking themselves for letting him go. I can’t see him returning to the Highlanders now that he’s starting for the Canes and has moved to Northland for the NPC.
-
Moorby has looked class for several seasons (albeit with an injury or two) and I don't blame Southlanders for having a complex about their players not getting picked by the Highlanders when he kept getting ignored. Top recruiting, Highlanders!
-
Not sure if Love is injured ? if fit should be at 10 - yet again plodder manages to get a start... be interesting to see if J.Savea can keep his work rate going from last week.
Rayasi was out of form last week, dropped some very easy passes, he's too good to play that poorly again though.Next week we start the Anzac rounds, have to select our top 15 for that one... getting sick & tired of this bloody musical chairs stuff.
-
@canes4life landers would've had room for him on a full contract if Alaimalo wasn't already signed up.. it's alright tho Gilbert goes well more often than not & CGB shows glimpses of being something
-
@nzbloke was reading canes have gone through 7 midfield combos in 8 games so far😅musical chairs it really is
-
@nzbloke he went off with a slight niggle on Tuesday. I think him not being selected in this game is more because he suited up for the last two games, therefore despite some good form he will be in the same boat as Goosen and will sit this one out.
-
@fakatavafuture yeah it’s a little mad but hopefully Holland has atleast settled on Jordie at 12.

I finally found the height of Sangster. (1.94) not on the Canes website though

Mikaele-Tu'u scratched bugger! Canes clear favorites for this match, last time Jordie took on the Landers in Dunners he scored roughly 30 points😟
MBanks to tear the canes a new one.
Tear the canes a new scoring record?

The only thing Marty will be tearing is his hammy.
