Hurricanes vs Crusaders
-
That's a handy looking selection to play at home. Front row battle should be interesting - I'd give the Canes the advantage here. How deep Hohepa stands from good delivery by Roigard and whether he looks to take on the line should go a long way to determining the outcome.
And of course the bench looks stronger for the home team. Injury toll for the Crusaders may be telling.

I think Ennor has been injured and unavailable for more games than Blackadder.
@Chris-B it’s been a concerning trend this season the goal kicking of Kemara. We want the kid to settle in and be confident but we are leaving a lot points out on the park from his boot.

@ACT-Crusader Yeah - not sure his goal-kicking will be doing much for his overall confidence.
Rob Penney needs to be very careful he doesn't end up shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted (changing his kicker after we sustain a loss).
Unless he's kicking the house down in training, I'd make a change. I've seen nothing that makes me think he's doing more than kicking the ball in the direction of the posts and hoping.

Isaia Walker-Leawere out with injury. Gallagher comes into the 23.

Classic the Sky crew are talking to Peter Umaga-Jensen while he is warming up and he proceeds to pull the fingers at one of the boys giving him shit. Don’t think he realised he was on TV.

This Hurricanes culture is back to its unprofessional ways. I bet they are wearing hoodies to official team events.
Hammer vindicated…..
