QF Brumbies vs Hurricanes

@Canes4life I would be amazed if either team pick anything other than the best they can put on the park.
If the Chiefs happen to lose immediately before this match it becomes must win - so you can't prepare with anything other than the mindset that it is must win.

We’ll find out tomorrow but I’d say both teams will be at full strength (aside from injuries of course).

Aumua carted out of traing today it seems , suspected knee injury.
Argh, where did you hear that? Far too many leg injuries at training this year, maybe there’s something in the pitch. Really disappointing for Aumua, after a really solid 2024, nothing has gone his way this year really.

Based on training footage it looks like Harkin was training in green which means he’s in the 23. Because Laidlaw has mentioned already he doesn’t see Harkin as a bench option, this likely means Love will start at 10, Harkin at 15 and Cameron on the bench.

Fingers crossed. Be a shame to play him up to the playoffs and then don't select him.
He has been a huge attacking threat for us. -

Asafo Aumua is ruled out of this weekends game. Potentially rest of the finals series if the Canes progress

Argh, that's a big loss. Hopefully he can get himself sorted for next week. He did train yesterday so maybe they are taking it week to week.

@Landers92 He's been named to play?

Official update on Asafo. Not yet ruled out for the season but it's looking grim.

A real shame for the game and potentially beyond.
I’ve really liked his game this season. Far more clinical in his approach without losing that dynamism. Hopefully it’s not a grade 2 as that could impact selection for French series.
Brumbies welcome AAA back at tighthead. Good battle looming up front.

Anyone know who the ref is for this game?

Of course it is. Why can’t they mix Aussies and Kiwis, it’s so stupid.
