Hurricanes v Highlanders

[SouthernMann]

Was wanting to go to this game. Will give it a miss now. Not keen to see us get flogged by 50. No JRK, Tavatavanawai, Haig, Fakatava on the bench, Withy rested.... Hurley at fullback and Michaels to debut

[Kiwiwomble]

what the fuck...straight in to start?

"hey, you know the hurley guy and hes got some skill but a bit small?....how about we surround him with other smaller guys....just so he gets no protections at all....sound good?"

[Canes4life]

Aumua back, still no Lomax.

[SouthernMann]

This could get very ugly

[Kiwiwomble]

Canes by a million...per half

@Duluth good to see Jordi on the bench. Would prefer him to Judd in the playoffs tbh.

No Delany, Lomax or Shields for this one.

[Landers92]

Highlanders naming an out and out B team with a few starters sprinkled in. I understand the reasoning but I was wanting us to name our strongest team to build momentum and continuity going into next week.

Looks like we are banking on the Drua to beat the Rebels so we can hold on to 6th spot.

[KiwiMurph]

Are Canes going to wear their retro kit at all this year? In a Quarter final?

[Winger]

@Canes4life

So, Judd was available. Jordi offers a lot more as a reserve option so hope he gets a good amount of game time

Yeah but mind you it's pretty much dark by 5pm these days.

[SouthernMann]

And top news out of Greater Wellington Regional Council. Bus replacements for the game

[Canes4life]

@SouthernMann why do they always plan this shit when big games are on? They did it for a big Phoenix game as well. Muppets.

[Bovidae]

@Winger Tucker played club rugby last weekend after being out injured for a while.

[Canes4life]

@Bovidae Tucker coming back gives Sangster somewhat of a rest. Man I hope we don't end up playing the Saders in a quarter with the likes of Shields, Delany and Lomax likely to go in cold.

Just a real pain in the arse to get there and back home again. Then they talk about having links from Petone north on the train. Well that's not going to help getting to the game.

@SouthernMann other option if you live in the Hutt and have a car is to drive to EB ferry and ferry across. I suppose that only works if you're not drinking and have a car. Public transport is bloody painful these days, I try and avoid it at all costs if I can.
