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.
-
@Canes4life I thought the same thing watching Sinkinson, he seemed a bit lost at times. Fingers crossed he has a good one.

Debreczeni over Noah is interesting.
From a Ponies perspective, a very good move. Deb can play both deep and flat whereas Noah doesn’t vary it. Deb has a good boot too

Defensively he's better too.

I'm not sure how accurate this site is but it seems to have a pretty updated list of players and their height / weight - https://all.rugby/club/hurricanes/squad
James Blackwell is listed as 1.90m, but he weighs in at 114kg
Caleb Delany is listed at 1.95m and weighs 115kg
Justin Sangster is listed at 1.98m and weighs 115kg
Isaia Walker-Leawere is listed at 1.97m and weighs 122kg
