QF: Brumbies v Hurricanes

@Canes4life said in QF: Brumbies v Hurricanes:
Looking at the starters in that game you could argue we have a stronger team than last year and they look to have a slightly weaker side. They no longer have Fainga'a and Banks, and we will likely have a healthy Flanders starting instead of Gibson, Cameron starting instead of Morgan, Lomax starting instead of Franks, and we don't have a flakey Rayasi on the wing.
We've got this.
And let’s not forget you have Ardie Savea, the only current NZ player to make the greatest team of the professional era…

As long as Booth doesn't get 20 minutes...

Sure, as an impact utility. Collins, McCaw & Read start for me.

I feel like Holland has been helped a bit. Can't pick Jules if he's injured.
Good team, obviously we'd all swap out Blackwell but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.
Any one know why Pouri is on the outer this year? I thought he'd been one of our best the last few years.

Unsure if the above team is correct
But Canes give away a lot of height in the lineout
Blackwell 1.90
Delany 1.95
Flanders 1.93
IWL 1.97Compared
Frost 2.05
Neville 2.02
Hooper 1.99 -

He's had a few games. But who would you drop. Numia has been playing very well this year. Much better than last year in SRP
The surprise selection for me is Sinkinson. I thought he was fairly average last WE and his only other start. Useless Booth and short with limited ball skills Blackwell I expected to be selected but either could lose us this game. Both we have other options
It's a shame as with a few changes it would be a very strong side. I would feel confident with luck of going all the way. Now I feel we will need luck on our side to win this one. Esp in the lineout.

Valetini’s at 6. Hooper on the bench

They did last week against the Crusaders and it wasn’t a problem then.
( once Whitelock went off and Taylor got sin binned )

Agree. I should have added again. But coaches likely thought it was fine last week as they won
It Rob Valetini at 6. So hes only 1.93 so the height adv is less now

@foobaNZ Pouri probably hasn’t done much wrong but Numia and Mafileo have been very solid so they’ve been hard to drop I guess.
I definitely would have started Sullivan over Sinkinson. I’d like more experience in a game like this and thought Sinkinson still has a bit to learn on defence at this level.
