Hurricanes vs Moana Pasifika

Aumua is a loss, as is IWL. As long as we try to play as a cohesive pack, as opposed to relying on one outs, we will hopefully be too much for MP, who will be smarting after having their pants pulled down by the Chiefs

Would love to see Clarke get plenty of mins if we are well ahead. He starred at FB for the Lions in the NPC, has a little bit of Andre Taylor about him in the way he hits the line. Has a really good boot as well which will be important later in the game.

Secure the win first, then we can give guys a run

He will provide plenty of impact.
One game that springs to mind last year was the Lions dismantling of Canterbury where Clarke, Harkin, Preston and Higgins cut them to shreds. The latter three have made statements on this competition this year already, great opportunity for Clarke to do the same.

Cool to see TJ Perenara at training. Great player to have training against the starters. He's been there a couple weeks which has coincided in Roigard hitting form. Coincidence? I don't think so. Great having a guy like him helping prepare the side for a tough match this weekend, especially ensuring guys like Roigard remain sharp.

As mentioned by @Landers92 earlier, this is the Canes team vs Moana.

Moana Pasifika team to play the Hurricanes

Love this from Dupes

Close to 20,000 tickets have been sold for tonight’s clash and it’s a good day today so there might be another couple thousand walking up. This game has the makings of a classic, and the closer we get to it the more nervous I get. I think Moana are going to be right up for it and the Canes still need to win it to remain in 4th.

Ardie will be right up for his homecoming. We need to take a leaf out of the Chiefs book, and smash them in the forwards for as long as it takes, then finish them with our backs

I expect this to be entertaining - MP know they have to score to progress. Canes know the Reds could easily slip into fourth place.

@antipodean thanks for confirming reds could progress, was getting confused with everyone talking about Brumbies Canes next week.

Oh boy… not a great start for Love. Huge start for Moana
