QF Brumbies vs Hurricanes

[Canes4life]

@cgrant who knows, the Wellington Lions site has him at 1.97m, 122kg. That is definitely bonkers.

I'm going to look closely on Saturday because I don't think he's shorter than Lomax. I don't think he's 1.90m because I'm 1.89m and he's definitely a good 4 cm's taller than I am when I watched him play for Petone a couple years back. Let's say 1.93m and be done with it. Still too short for a Super Rugby lock IMO.

TJ Perenara to Make 150th Appearance for the Hurricanes in Quarter-Final

TK Howden or Delany should be starting at 6, there's no size or height in the loose combo, Savea, Kirifi, Gibson are all sub 103kg & 187cm. I'd have 115kg Delany at 6, opening up a place for Sangster on the bench. Gibson or Kirifi out of the 23 altogether. The Brumbies are going to eat this lightweight Hurricanes pack alive.

If the Canes tight-five can do the job it will give our more athletic loosies & also the backs a good platform to work from.

A lot of these player height/weight stats tend to feel wrong on the net.

Maybe hard with those lightweight LFs on a cold Canberra night. I don’t think Holland has done you any favours with the forward selections.
Sangster instead of Blackwell
Lose instead of Gibson
Pareke - Stones starting would be better.
And were is Sullivan one of your best players this season

Reckon it depends how well our tight-five go - even their bigger loosies won't perform well if their tight-five doesn't do the job... yeah, Holland just doesn't have the insight to select our best 15.

Tell you what being a player in the Canes must be very frustrating you play a blinder and next 3 weeks you are not in the 23.

That's for sure... not much fun for a Canes supporter either

Has an Australian rugby game ever started on time?

[Anonymous]

Perenara injured

[antipodean]

That's a great kick from Jordie. Brumbies will be loathe to give away any penalties in their half now.

[Gunner]

That penalty went the wrong way.

Doesn't look a big crowd
