      The battle of the Capitals. I’m looking forward to this one, I think it could quite easily go either way. The Brumbies will obviously look to take on the Canes upfront, while the Canes will obviously look to run the Brumbies off their feet. Not sure what the injury updates are for each team but I think Tom Banks is still out with a fractured jaw.

      Long range forecast looks a little grim but hopefully that clears so we see some fast paced Sunday arvo footy.

      I’d like the Canes to select the same team that ended up starting on Saturday, including Howden who was very impressive.

        Not sure if this has been posted yet but Holland actually praises PUJ.

        The Hurricanes overcame a 17-deficit to build a 30-17 win over Brad Thorn's side, in part due to the defence of their new midfield combination who were tasked with marking Wallaby hitman Hunter Paisami at outside centre.

          I imagine that he has been hearing the same rumours circulated on here and is realizing that he has chased away an AB caliber center.

              Savea
              Barrett

              You can scratch Aumua, he's been suspended for three weeks (post that Highlanders game) and still has two weeks left. Otherwise, looks like a solid team to me.

                I'm afraid you're probably right. A little too late for Holland I think....dilbert!

                        @Duluth Bloody geezus, IWL was one of the better Canes and he gets demoted to the bench! I like Sangster, but you don't demote IWL to make room for him in the starting XV. But Blackwell ... grrrrrr

                        Edit to add that considering who the Canes presumably have available, this is probably the best possible squad apart from lock. I'm not a JGB fan and he's slow, but I think he's slightly calmer under pressure than puppy Morgan. Probably the same at hooker.

                          You’d think we would want all the size in the world against a strong Brumbies pack. Could be a bit of rotation maybe? IWL has been involved in every game since he came back hasn’t he? Atleast Prinsep isn’t there lol.

                          @Duluth where did you find the team announcement for the Canes? Odd that it isn’t up on any of their socials yet…

                            @Canes4life IWL has played 200 minutes. He shouldn't need a rest, yet. He just got going after a long injury break.

                                Because he's one of Holland's unflushables

                                  The Hurricanes don’t post too much about injuries to players but from this post you can see that Prinsep is already back in NZ, joining Love, Moorby, Coles, Flanders and Kirifi in the broken ward, including the suspended Aumua.

                                    Has Holland finally settled on a midfield? We can only hope.

                                    Funny how 90% of fans would have told him that's his midfield post the Blues game, but he needed another month to figure it out himself!

                                    Do you think when he picks the team Ardie or Blackwell is 1st choice? lol.

                                    A Scrafton/IWL/Sangster combo would be so much better.

                                    Apart from that, I like the team although like most I'd have Morgan at 10 given Love is injured.

                                      Do you really think any coach in rugby reall knows or cares what fans think. I mean I quite sue non of them are dumb enough to think before naming a team, Oh hang on I better check what the posters think on Silver Fern??👆🏽 😁

                                          Well - all fans like Jordie and PUJ, so either is good. Although I think we'd agree that having them both on the park is a better option?

                                          I don't mind Jordie, Sullivan with Moorby at full back. But not having PUJ would be dumb.

                                            PUJ could squeeze into the team as a winger (although there's other good options). He's not linking well at the moment, playing as a finisher might help his form

                                            Someone mentioned Moorby was injured. I wonder if the Canes will go back to Jordie in the midfield when he's back?

                                              Hmm, not sure I agree re: PUJ - I think his short passing is really good. And he threatens the line with an offload game.

                                              I can't see a wing spot, all of Rayasi, Goosen & J Savea are playing well.

                                                It's the decision making of when to pass, when to have a crack etc. He's a long way behind Sullivan as a 13 on current form

                                                12? I don't think he's better than Jordie, but now he's needed at fullback

                                                  I think we can all agree that:

                                                  PUJ, Sullivan, Jordie
                                                  or
                                                  Jordie, Sullivan, Moorby

                                                  Are better than the other chopping and changing midfields Holland has used earlier in the season.

                                                    The Hurricanes have finally named their squad (officially).

                                                    Here's the media release:

                                                    Hurricanes Team Named to Take on The Brumbies in Canberra

                                                    Hurricanes Team Named to Take on The Brumbies in Canberra

                                                    Unavailable for selection due to injury or suspension: Asafo Aumua, Du'Plessis Kirifi, Devan Flanders, Ruben Love, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Brayden Iose, Reed Prinsep, Pepesana Patafilo.

                                                      Hmm, not sure I agree re: PUJ - I think his short passing is really good. And he threatens the line with an offload game.

                                                      I can't see a wing spot, all of Rayasi, Goosen & J Savea are playing well.

                                                      Has he? To me he’s been very up and down.

                                                          I was pleased to see PUJ play well last week and so stay in this week, hope he keeps it up, another who I thought went well was Adam Gibson, so pleased to see him there again (even if only because of injury), he plays a bloody good game at 7. Also good to see Howden getting another run.

Something that I thought I wouldn't say before the year kicked off. Im surprised that he is our third hooker. I thought he only made the squad as an injury replacement
