Where did the Hurricanes get this hooker from? He’s made three crucial errors so far. Hope he isn’t anywhere near the side when the actual season kicks off.
Former U20 player who looked good at that level, but never quite kicked on. He's wandered around a few different low-level leagues, and found his way back here, it seems. I doubt he'll ever get a(nother) start at this level
Hopefully not, he’s a not up to I’m afraid.

Looks like Blues are going to win it. A fairly average game overall tbh, so much dropped pill by both sides. Plenty of work-ons.

@Higgins Lam and the defender jumped for the kick and the ball went back in the air towards the Canes 22. Lam followed it and dived like a gully catch to claim it then passed it off his knees in to Sullivan who ran it in to the corner. The ball went forward off Lams finger tips so he did brilliantly to get to it before it landed.

@Canes4life Blame Blackwell for calling himself at the front of the lineout and getting out-jumped by Robinson.

Solomone Naiduku’s agents phone will huming after his cameo in todays game ,has X Factor written all over him
Ratumaivuki Kneepkans made a break down the flank ,Naiduku just switched into another gear and picked him up effortlessly
Had a word with a few the Canes players ,they all said the same thing ,what a talent ..! -

I’m sure the Wellington Lions will be keen to sign him up.

Basically McDonald and Roger admitting he was no where near good enough to be in the ABs last year, but maybe this year he will be!
-
@Machpants Yeah, more of a coaches comments article than a proper match report.
-
Jason Momoa at the game today - He might need his Aquaman skills from tomorrow!

Most important sentence of the article:
Neither team suffered any significant injuries in the hitout

@Stargazer Devon Flanders was top draw , got a superb skillset and genuine pace from the back of the scrum

If he doesn't grab his opportunity with both hands this year, there is plenty of talent coming through (including the likes of Lakai) that will overtake him if he doesn't perform, especially if he wants that no 8 jersey.
He looks fit and stronger than ever so hopefully he has a dominant year off the back of the scrum.
