Hurricanes v Blues
-
@Canes4life Proctor has played at FB for Wellington.
@Bovidae
of course he has. -
I would imagine Robinson will get some rest next week v Lions and they'll probably start Papalii at 6.
I wouldn't mind seeing Reidlinger-Kapa get an opportunity at some point as another option at 6.

I think Patrick will definitely be rested next week. I don't think Dalton needed to be rested this week because guys in the AB frame are allowed to play 6 games in a row, but I don't think they wanted both guys to be out at the same time.
If Robinson rests next week too, then we have to hope Akira plays well enough to get another start next week so we can roll out Sotutu, Papali'i and Akira in the backrow.

Interesting game this one.Hurricanes need to win this at home,Chiefs and Crusaders to come pressure on if they lose.

TAB has the Blues at $3 for this one and that's probably about right. Hurricanes pretty settled and at home against the Blues travelling back from SA.
Has Akira been playing any club or other rugby? Tough ask to go under the "He's Shit (or not)"microscope if he's not had some warm-up games. There's not many who can come in cold and not show plenty of rust.

Hoping for Akira to have a massive game. And hopefully his non-inclusion until now is more about him being tip top at the end of the season, rather than flaming out half way through, granted Hoskin Sotutu has been going well.
Still want Hurricanes to get the W though. -
Be interesting to see how the blues back up from last weeks impressive performance

Ordinary tackle attempt by black

lost his footing, good step by Laumape though, spotted a half gap, Otere slipped and he went straight through
-
Good steal by akira but was under advantage
-
bloody solid start from the 'Canes.
