Blues v Hurricanes
-
@Canes4life Agree on Cameron. In form he's a level or 2 above Morgan. Hope he can get back to his best quickly and start before the finals
And thank God that Aumua is back. Hope he can last the full match as we will lose half our lineouts when he's replaced.
The team selections are about right for once (I just accept Blackwell starting now. I'd prefer Bird) and some good surprises with Proctor starting and Cameron back. Also good to see Delany starting at 6 and the same wings
-
Good news about Cameron. For some reason I thought he was gone for the season.
-
Solid canes 23 so happy to see Bret Cameron back 🙌🏼 that Blues pack tho, heavy hitters! Should make for a great spectacle

9 Finlay Christie
10 Harry Plummer
11 Caleb Clarke
12 Bryce Heem
13 Rieko Ioane
14 Mark Telea
15 Zarn SullivanBasedon form I'd swap the bench 9, move Plummer to 12. Heem is playing well, but the benefit is gained in the movement of Perofeta (even without a lot of game time) into 10.
-
Nock played well last week, but Christie has better form over a larger number of games. Especially on defence and running. Also, Nock's main weakness was nullified by asking him not to kick. With Plummer at 10, Christie will need to kick more.
And rushing Perofeta back after injury is not smart, that said I expect to see him early in the second half.

The two best 10s are on the bench.
I'd like to see Zarn Sullivan at 10. He has a higher ceiling than Perofeta IMO.

Zarn has yet to start a first class game at 10. Would rather not throw him into 10 for such a big game when Perofeta is in the 23.

Boy I salivating for this game!! Canes will miss Flanders but it is what it is. Really happy also to see both Cameron back and Proctor is ok and starting.
And fot my tipping, as I well down anyway, and I decided if I did a picking comp I will alswys make sure I do it. I just going full heart from now on so will be Canes by over 9!!! -
@Dan54 Caleb Delany will slot in nicely at 6, I actually think he's probably more suited to 6 than Flanders but because Ardie's at 8 that's where Flanders has ended up. I'm hoping next year we get to see Delany at 6, and Flanders at 8 more often.

Super Rugby posted this yesterday, what a game it was.

@Canes4life RTS' rugby career peaked at half-time in that game.

Yep he was unfortunate with timing and everything wasn't he? Not knocking him, as I never saw him play league, but he certainly never quite transferred to rugby as maybe he hoped. I give him credit for having a crack anyway.
