          And get smashed, like almost every other time in Canberra, sadly

            @Machpants I'm generally an optimist, but have to be realistic about the Canes' chances and I'm afraid you're right. I just really hope they put up a good fight. Start with getting the right XV and bench.

              Yup. My expectations are modest to say the least

                Brumbies are a different beast in the Canberra, especially in the cold and it’s going to take something big to knock them over. The Canes do play well as underdogs so who knows.

                I see this as being the most likely 23 based on recent selections:

                1. Mafileo
                2. Coles
                3. Lomax
                4. Blackwell
                5. Walker-Leawere
                6. Howden
                7. Kirifi
                8. Savea (c)
                9. Perenara
                10. Morgan
                11. Rayasi
                12. Barrett
                13. Sullivan
                14. Savea
                15. Moorby
                16. Aumua
                17. Rakete-Stones
                18. Franks
                19. Sangster
                20. Iose/Gibson
                21. Roigard
                22. Love
                23. Proctor

                  Just missing Caleb Delany, who was possibly the Hurricanes best forward against the Force!

                    Yep to even imagine winning it would be like someone like Moana Pasifika thinking they could beat them!!! Why did I even start this thread .😁
                    We might be underdogs, but I never say we won't do it!!!

                      Canes should feel quietly confident I think.

                      They created plenty in their regular season game but just failed to convert.

                      Brumbies have hardly been in brilliant form.

                      Will prob come down to if Canes tight 5 can hold their own.

                          Does anyone know who's on the plane to Canberra from Wellington. I suspect those players will start or be involved on match day.

                            Don't discount the hometown factor. The crowd is notoriously vocal and one-eyed so only the very best referees aren't impacted accordingly. Unfortunately there aren't many competent refs.

                              The Canes will have to be perfect on the night. Even then that might not be enough. I can't ever remember us winning in Canberra in the regular season let alone the playoffs

                                This is on rinse and repeat every single season…

                                Even when they had Tialata, Hore and Jason Eaton in their tight 5, their tight 5 were under the microscope!

                                  I think we bet them in a quarter final over there in 2017, before going down to the Lions in Jo-burg.

                                  They knocked us out last year and obviously beat us there this year so hopefully we can turn the tide.

                                  If we play to our full potential I reckon the lads can do it. Just need to win the battle upfront which is going to be a big ask.

                                    Parsons is tipping the Hurricanes.

                                      I think Canes will get home depending on who the Ref is.

                                              There’s this mystical thing that happens as referees fly over the Tasman, its as if it doesn’t matter where they come from and neutrality distills upon them. Just another wonder of this amazing competition.

                                                      Good to see that all those players are available... yeah, makes more sense to have 6 teams in play-offs next time.

                                                        Ok c'mon Canes' men how we going to go this week, it was a bloody good touch up Brumbies gave us a few weeks back!

                                                        Need to be very solid in the set pieces, also be very aggressive at the breakdown... do those things with the dangerous backs we have & it should be a good win for the Canes.

                                                        It will also be a game of two halves.

                                                        As long as a game of two halves favours us on the scoreboard at the end of the match 😀

                                                              I prefer it. Some benefit to having won during the round robin stage. Top teams can still do a "Souths 1989" and not make the final.

                                                                                Sangster also misses out after a strong season which is a shame for him.

                                                                                Hopefully that team can do the business, plenty of firepower with Aumua, Iose, Love and Goosen to come on late.
