Hurricanes vs Sharks
-
@Canes4life I think I already answered that question in my two previous posts.
They probably didn't pick Toala because he's injured (we don't know) OR because he's a rookie.By the way, Toala is taller than Laumape and nobody will say Laumape shouldn't be selected because he's a midget.
@Stargazer yet I would gaurantee that if PUJ was from Hawkes Bay you would be tooting his trumpet. PUJ proved himself in the playoffs last year and no he isn’t uncoordinated - just look at his highlight reel.
Doesn’t really matter though, Laumape and Aso will hopefully cement themselves as the first choice combo this weekend.

@Canes4life You're wrong yet again. I wouldn't want PU-J anywhere near the Magpies, even if he was from HB.
@Stargazer lol PUJ would walk into the Magpies.
I bet you’ve hardly seen the kid play.

Why why why Prinseep the guys about as effective as a paper boat should be Evans at 8 kirifi at 7 and Fifita at 6 with Flanders on the bench also glad Aso and Laumape are the midfield combo they offer so much more. Anybody know who the Canes have called in to replace Le’aupepe

@mikey07 Not sure they have replaced Le'aupepe. I've seen photos of Tuesday's training and didn't see new faces on any of them.
-
@Stargazer Let’s go poach some young Cantab since they seem to have a production line of them
-
@mikey07 I'm sure Taine Plumtree will be running around somewhere, I know the Canes have been closely developing him over the last few years.

@Stargazer with his mountain of injuries no thanks someone younger thanks
@mikey07 If it's only as injury cover, he would be a good replacement. He hasn't been injured for a while (he played 11 out of 12 M10 Cup games in 2019). He's only 25; why younger? 2m tall locks are hard to find and he's been in the Canes environment for years. The Canes could do a lot worse.

The only change to the Sharks team that beat the Highlanders is the inclusion of Boeta Chamberlain at flyhalf in place of Curwin Bosch who has unfortunately had to deal with a family bereavement and has returned home to South Africa.

Just trained alongside the Sharks! Fark they are big'uns. Always interesting seeing how they train, lots of weighted plyometric stuff. A couple of props were doing drills. Very fast feet!!

@Stargazer actually fair point
-
@Canes4life he’s been around forever it seems shouldn’t be too far away from at least making his ITM debut
@mikey07 yeah I'd say he will be in the Wellington squad this year, same with the likes of Josh Southall, Tyrone Thompson, Ruben Love etc.
-
Taine Plumtree took part in the light training the Hurricanes had at Kilbirnie Park on Tuesday. He looks decidedly smaller than James Blackwell so would be an ideal replacement given the Canes current lock size criteria preferences.
-
@Higgins Taine is 5cm taller and will no doubt fill out more being a young lad.
-
@Canes4life Goodness, looks can be deceiving. Will have to get my eyes tested again soon as five centimetres can make a big difference to a man if it is applied to the correct body part!
@Higgins Lol why were you so close? Go and have another look at him on Saturday. Plumtree and Ah Koui (Chiefs) who played together at school are pretty much identical in height. Both are taller than Blackwell.

@Stargazer Lol Cridge can't even make the Hurricanes development team. Must be really good.
