Love is in the reserves. Leger is limited as all hell at first so hopefully they get Love on early at either first or FB
That is going to be really interesting. The coaches insist that Love is an outside back that can play 10 not the other way around. Basically putting him in the same boat as Jordie.
IMO they would be stupid not to take an opportunity to try him at 10 given the season circumstances in that position. -

Completely confused as to why PUJ remains on the bench. He outplayed or matched every opponent he came up against last year and the thanks he gets is a seat on the pine? These coaches really know how to knock a young players confidence.
To be fair he has been decidedly average so fat yhis year though, and perhaps that may have something to do with the 9-10 combo. Be loody hard to shine outside them!
How can you be average if you basically never play

-
Two fairly even line-ups if you ask me.
Is Ngani Punivai injured or has Brown dropped him?
-
A better hurricanes team this week.
Less influenced on experience more on form finaly
-
@kiwi_expat Seems to be a case of rotation?
-
midfield fails to get the ball wide...swap out your wings...makes sense
i am tempted to put some money on a Vahaakolo try, smith down the blind, pops on the 22 and nothing stops him
-
@stargazer really? after a 39 point drubbing to the Blues in previous round?
I highly doubt Brown would refrain from playing his best 23 in a must-win game. Highlanders beating Canes could be the difference between finishing 3rd or 4th.

@kiwi_expat especially after just having the bye.

youre not wrong but i dont think Punivai has done enough to say he's the clear option, he's been solid but hasn;t owned it like Nareki has on the other side
-
Nareki a late scratch

@kiwimurph I think even I’ve only claimed “arguably”
-
Coles already making a huge difference.
