Who nominates the employee H&S person? Can the nominee be Ernie from accounting? The employer. Oh right. That'll work then.

Re: The OFFICIAL Capt Hurricane Hurricanes vs Chiefs Thread - Super Rugby Round 8

Lakai is basically the same height as Iose. South African 7 is the blindside. Lakai's used to playing 8 and it shows. Long term I agree 7 is his best option but he does need to learn quite a bit and improve his workrate at the breakdown. Why do some of us get hung up on the height of a player in de...

I'm not a fan of him being captain, but at least Laidlaw has been willing to take him off relatively early.

Re: The OFFICIAL Capt Hurricane Hurricanes vs Chiefs Thread - Super Rugby Round 8

I have been advocating for Clark Laidlaw to be a future Scotland coach when he has a more experience under his belt. How is he viewed in New Zealand? I assume that being a Scot there is a ceiling on his career path down there. Very positively by Canes fans, thus far. Obviously positively by NZR, to...

Didn't see that. At a ruck or tackle?

Siti has been given a roaming licence by the ref. Generally taking our players out well behind the ruck.

Canes were poor in the 2nd quarter. Shields needs to do what he's there for, lead.

Gulp! The Chiefs have won 20 of their 33 previous meetings with the Hurricanes, including each of their past five. They scored 25 unanswered points in the second half to claim an emphatic 33-17 win on their last visit to Wellington in 2023. A Hurricanes win would see them equal their best ever start...

I'll have to look up the ages and experience of the Chiefs forward pack. As I watched the Hurricanes v Highlanders game a couple of weeks ago, the Highlanders pack looked quite young (according to the eye test anyway), whereas the Hurricanes forward pack are maturing. Who are the dangermen on the C...
