    @Canes4life said in Blues v Hurricanes:

    What’s the predicted pack?

    Depends on the injuries

    Loosies I think it's reasonable to guess - Papali'i/Sotutu/Christie. Segner get the bench spot otherwise there's no openside cover

    Lock McWhannell/Beehre but maybe Patrick is back?

    The usual rotation at prop. We don't know if Ofa is fit though

    Hooker? No idea. Still in panic mode.

    @Duluth both Riccitelli and Eklund took part in training so hopefully they get the all clear. Or at least 1.

    Yeah, he played 1 game for us and then pulled a hammy in training so will be out for a month or so.

    Crap. Ofa's SR season is over

    My backline guess just had the fullbacks around the wrong way

    Cam Christie rested? Suddenly we have 3 opensides in the 23 after struggling in that position

    Great to see the hookers return

    Blues , probably best 23 , just thought Funaki may have snuck in there, he's close , and Pat is back , he did tell me 2 weeks, champion ., Plummer that's big call, and Ofa , let's get you back soon.

    Bugger, this looks tasty. Do I go with heart and Canes, or pick the Blues as this seems to get Canes playing real well. I genuinely not real sure who will take this game. Blues got very close to their best team available and may just cause some problems.

    Interesting that Riley Higgins is off the injured list but is not selected by the Canes. Maybe coming back via the development team or club rugby. I’d prefer him over Fehi and Harkin on the bench. Also would prefer Vijoen over Enari, he added some zip coming on against the Tahs, Enari doesn’t do that so an odd selection there.

    Flanders, Gallagher and Godfrey all expected back in round 12.

    Proctor unlikely to feature this season.

    Bit off topic but really enjoy seeing team namings with the amount of caps beside their name. Cool for the nerds who enjoy that stuff

    Is this another Super Hero round? Might be hard to differentiate between the two sides with both teams wearing blue and red, the Canes ironically with more blue and the Blues with more red.

    The game itself should be a cracker based on the teams selected. It will be interesting to see if the Blues players coming back from injury can hit form straight away and alternatively it will be interesting to see if the Canes can continue the rampant form they showed against the Tahs.

    If it's anything like the game last year then we're in for a treat. Just hope the Canes are on the right side of the ledger this time.

    There will be some money coming in on the Canes at those odds.

    @Canes4life well I'll just stick with the Blues, but all good, Riley Higgins didn't he have second hand operation?, but if he's not on the injury list, perhaps he is close to returning., guys damn good, I'd have him in my AB squad.

    Yeah he did have surgery which he's now recovered from. His expected return date was this week and he's been taken off the injured list for the Canes. I expect they'll be pretty conservative with him considering it's unlikely Proctor will be back this season based on what I'm hearing so it's likely he'll get match fitness for Petone this week instead. We might see him against the Crusaders. He will come in soon I'm sure considering both Umaga-Jensen and Sullivan have featured in every game this year so there will need to be some sort of rotation soon.
