@Stargazer Will be pretty keen to get a look at Solomone Naiduki , i know of 2 unions that have got him on their radar 😉 for this years NPC
-
@Steven-Harris I wouldn't be surprised if Hawke's Bay is one of those unions, considering 8 to 10 players of last year's backline probably won't be available, this year.
-
Kicking off soon:
-
Four minutes of play, Hurricanes score and about 12 water runners run on for the Blues whilst they await the conversion!
-
Devan Flanders scores the first try!
0 - 7 Canes
-
Tuipulotu and Craig starting locks instead of listed Beerhe and Darry.
Mckenzie also for Plummer. Lisati-Harris starting for Funaki. -
@Daffy-Jaffy Canes also different. Lauaki starting instead of Howden.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy The Blues 5 looks to be a monster
-
RTS scores the first try for the Blues.
7 all
-
Anyone watching from outside NZ? Was wondering whether they've geo-restricted thi stream as well.
-
@Stargazer It still works with my VPN set on UK.

Howden is starting but he’s in the 19 jersey. And it wouldn’t be Lauaki replacing him anyway because he’s a prop.
-
@Canes4life Yeah, was looking too much at the numbers.
-
Flanders scores his second.
7 - 14 Canes
-
The commentator said Riccitelli scored, but the players were congratulating someone else (James Lay?)?
I gues this shows the limitations of the one camera and low resolution. Can't see properly who is who.
14 all
-
Just dawned on me that only 2 of this Blues starting backline are full squad members. RTS and JRK.

You’d think in this day and age we would be able to see clearly what was going on. Surely someone can provide a better setup than what’s been used for this stream.

Waltzed past Segner who was oblivious.
-
Who scored the third Canes' try? Missed it.
-
@antipodean Segner is not on. likely Plumtree.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy Pretty much the same could be said about the visiting team as well.
-
Where does that guy Schwenke stand in the pecking order of hookers in Auckland?
-
@Higgins Right, I think both teams will look stronger in second half.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy said in Preseason: Blues v Hurricanes:

Yeap, Plumtree, who is not having a great 40mins so far.
-
@Higgins I think he plays in the Manawatu now?
-
@Daffy-Jaffy Yep, he was the third choice hooker for Manawatū behind Maile and Tuputupu (who was injured).
-
@Stargazer said in Preseason: Blues v Hurricanes:

Not sure either, I missed it aswell.
-
Hope Harry Godfrey is still in one piece after the Bus hit him.
-
@Stargazer Hell they are dipping well down the order to find players who are fit and available. The overseas exodus and injuries must be having a huge impact.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy said in Preseason: Blues v Hurricanes:
Mckenzie also for Plummer. Lisati-Harris starting for Funaki.
You would think someone would have told Dewar as he continued to say it was Nock and Plummer playing.
Tuipulotu certainly looks trimmer and more explosive.
-
@Stargazer Morgan in the left corner after some forward drives at the line.
-

I think it was Naiduki that hit him, Savea was waiting for the ball outside Godfrey.

Is that him in the blue 5 jersey?
-
@Higgins Yeah, Schwenke wouldn't have been there if Devery wasn't injured, and Kereru-Symes, Maile and Tuputupu had been available. Heck, he'd probably be behind Syminton, too.
-
@Stargazer Oh, then in that case he is going reasonably ok though for someone of that ranking.
-
@Higgins Yes.
-
@Bovidae Thanks, he certainly galloped up the field a couple of times. Must be the price of food up in Japan causing him to cut back a bit on fatty things!
-
Quite a few changes in the Hurricanes team now. Braydon Iose has replaced Flanders at the back of the scrum. Is that Lakai at openside? Roigard and R. Higgins on as well.
