Re: SRP R6 - Highlanders v Hurricanes - Game of the round?

So, PR's Super Rugby Team of the Week had 5 Hurricanes in it this week. Two of this 5 were dropped from the starting Lineup, (and one from the matchday 23 entirely!) and people are still saying that the announced team is strong, and clear favourites. This is very unsettling for long term Canes suppo...

Re: SRP R6 - Highlanders v Hurricanes - Game of the round?

The Highlanders have made the big call to start winger Jonah Lowe in the No 13 jersey, with Tanielu Tele’a serving a three-week suspension for his red card against the Chiefs. Prop Jermaine Ainsley is also missing as he undergoes further scans on a back injury, opening the door for a potential High...

Was expecting a winger/fullback on the bench. (was hoping Godfrey)
Punivai does play on the wing. Moorby is Fullback Cover. Love covers 1st 5.

That is a big loose trio though.

the Chink in the Chiefs Armour

With McKenzie on this season, the Chiefs have scored 166 points and conceded 83, while with him off, they are 33-6 down. I noticed that Damo had more strapping on his Right Leg that I have seen on any player for some time. He must also be due for a mandatory rest week. There was a point against the...

Agreed. This is a more sensible take: The Hurricanes are the only undefeated side left after five rounds but the men from New Zealand’s capital aren’t getting ahead of themselves after going on a similar run last season. With former coach Jason Holland at the helm, the Canes started the 2023 campai...

I've always been a supporter of playing local players during home games in their province, as they tend to bring their A-game in those games.
