Hurricanes v Moana Pasifika
-
Should a pretty strong midweek side for the Canes? Rayasi, PUJ etc?
-
@duluth Prinsep will probably be captain 😏would like to see Moorby get another go at 15 but with it being a three day turn around they might put love at fullback with morgan at first five
-
@duluth I wonder which hookers will be available. I was pretty pissed off that they called up Kereru-Symes without giving him a minute of game time, but that was before I realised this game was on Tuesday. On the other hand, Devery might be available too, or even Coles.
-
@fakatavafuture Flanders might finally get the start he deserves, although I'd rather see him get the start in the big games!
-
@stargazer We all would mate everyone would bar the idiot in charge.
-
Team should be named soon, I guess?

If it's like the last midweek game, they'll probably be named late this afternoon

I'll save Mr. Holland a bit of time by announcing 6. R. Prinsep 8. A. Savea 20. C. Delaney.

@machpants THREE Magpies and a should-be-a-Mapies starting, and one on the bench? That can't be right. Even against MP.

That's a crazy amount of Magpies, definite C team. I'm a bit confused, maybe I should support Welly tomorrow?
Checks MP lineup. Nope, still more playing for MP. Go MP!
-
Love should be at 10 - hell just put Morgan at 15 if you don't want to risk Jordie or Moorby (which is understandable).
Exciting team otherwise, although generally your skip should be the best player in the team, not the worst.
-
So they're still trying to convert Fidow into a LH.
-
With media release:
-
Hadn't noticed Proffit on the bench, earlier. His name did sound familiar, but I had to google him to confirm he's from Taranaki.

He was in the Chiefs WTG, so another example of the sharing of WTG players.
-
@stargazer good to see Walker-Leawere back
-
Alex Fidow as LH and Mafileo as TH. Interesting as Fidow is a poor scrummager on the tight head side.

1st-Five runs the ship, so vital to play one player there most of the time... crazy playing our best 10 at fullback, yeah, from the players in the starting backline Morgan should clearly be at 15, but nous always goes out the window when it comes to Holland, noticed he's starting plodder again & as captain too.
Canes need to redeem themselves against MP by winning by a very comfortable margin... IWL will lack some match fitness, but good to see him playing.
-
Tab offering a 20.5 point start
The Canes should beat that easily?

So subtle and yet so accomplished.
-
@Stargazer Kereru-Symes is starting. O'Reilly a late withdraw.
-
@kiwimurph Yeah, I see. Who's on the bench?
-
@stargazer The commentators said they would get that information but I haven't heard since.
-
I think PUJ made more metres in that run than Proctor has all season.
-
@kiwimurph Would be a bit much if Kereru-Symes has to go the full 80 in his debut game!
-
@stargazer think I heard them say Bruce Kauika-Petersen is on the bench (out of Norths club)?
-
That lineout throw would not have hit another lineout ..
-
Worst lineout throw in super rugby history
-
They just said Wellington 3rd or 4th choice hooker Bruce Kauika-Petersen (Norths) is the back-up.
-
MP actually got the better of that scrum.
-
Toala almost did it again haha.
-
Good work from TJ
-
Ref is quick to call these penalties.
Moana Pasifika team named for Hurricanes – Moana Pasifika
