            @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.

                Four minutes of play, Hurricanes score and about 12 water runners run on for the Blues whilst they await the conversion!

                    Tuipulotu and Craig starting locks instead of listed Beerhe and Darry.
                    Mckenzie also for Plummer. Lisati-Harris starting for Funaki.

                            Anyone watching from outside NZ? Was wondering whether they've geo-restricted thi stream as well.

                                Howden is starting but he’s in the 19 jersey. And it wouldn’t be Lauaki replacing him anyway because he’s a prop.

                                    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.

                                        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.

                                                      @Higgins Right, I think both teams will look stronger in second half.

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