so Ruru not on the injured list, so is he not considered an impact player ahead of Pulu (assuming Nock is being rewarded for a good performance)

Very happy with that Blues starting XV
Hopefully the rain stays away and both teams can have a real crack - games between these two tend to be very open the past few years.
@Duluth said in Blues v Hurricanes:
Players not considered with injury: Sione Mafileo (ankle), Stephen Perofeta (pectoral), Jordan Trainor (thigh), Sonny Bill Williams (knee), Michael Collins (groin), Caleb Clarke (illness), Alex Hodgman (concussion), Tom Robinson (concussion)
I'm fairly certain Clarke had that illness for last week's game given the way he left the field coughing/spluttering etc. He had a fairly decent game considering.

Happy with the Blues lineup..not happy about the official..!

@KiwiMurph if I was a Blues fan I'd rather it be pissing down with rain, thus taking out that deadly looking Canes backline and leaving their non-threatening forward-pack exposed.
If it's dry the Canes are more than likely going to make it 8 in a row against the Blues.
-
I really like the look of that Blues backline, Nock in to create some extra time and space for Ioane and Nani,Plummer will take it to the line where Black doesn't.Tele'a brings some fire power to the other wing solid midfield.Forwards may win this game who ever wins the Breakdown key that's Why the Blues have picked 2 mobile flankers.backlines look pretty Even.

@Canes4life Rain or shine the Canes will make it 8 in a row.
-
I said the same thing before we played the Chiefs a couple of weeks back. We shit on the Blues in those key positions of 7, 9 and 10 so that alone should get us home.
-
@Canes4life you forgot about the number 2 jersey as well, to along with 7,9 and 10 jersey..
-
It’s Friday 7:35pm I have sent an e-mail to the Canes management that the game is now been moved to Saturday night ..might the Blues best chance..L

-
@Chris I reckon if you switched 7 ,9 and 10 to the Blues..who wins..?
-
@Chris it matters very little when the two players in control of the Blues (Nock and Plummer) face up against the best halves pair in the comp. You don't win the big games without an experienced halves pairing..
