This makes me think Gibson and Laubscher have Covid if they are unavailable and aren't injured.
-
@Canes4life Hard to say. We know the others in the "unavailable for selection" list are injured, but it doesn't say so.
-
@Stargazer it's odd they haven't mentioned Goosen, Scrafton and Umaga-Jensen. Maybe they should have another column that states 'leaving so we aren't selecting them anymore'.
Also, before anyone asks, I’m just making rumours about PUJ but wouldn’t be surprised if he left and joined his bro. With Riley Higgins coming through and Jordie Barrett playing a lot more at 12, it will make sense if he wants more time on the field to push for higher honours.

As Goosen and Scrafton are leaving, I can understand not selecting them to start if there are equally good options.
They should definitely be in the top 23 though.
The poor PUJ treatment continues. I think it's unfortunately a fairly safe bet he's going elsewhere and who can blame him.

It pains me to say it as I have been a big advocate for him since leaving school and I do think he's an international quality midfielder, I just feel like he hasn't had the consistent opportunity from the Canes to show his true potential. I hope that he still gets another opportunity to put on that All Black jersey, even if it means he has to prove himself at a different franchise.
-
@Canes4life yea for whatever reason he never gets given a consistent run of games. Having that elsewhere will help him.
Gonna suck watching him play against the Canes though. Good local product treated poorly by Holland.

Why isn't the media asking about this?

@Duluth said in Waratahs vs Hurricanes:
6th game in a row for Sullivan at 13
Personally I would have him in the AB squad. If the AB's a looking for midfield/wing cover on the bench he does a better job than Ennor, LF and PUJ
I've been extremely impressed wth him, sadly the squad will be small, so he may miss out. But I'd certainly take him over Ennor
