Hurricanes v Chiefs
-
Two things i just noticed:
No Cruden, so i guess last week was his last game for the Chiefs.No Julian Savea. The race is still on to see which out of him and NMS was the more pointless signing. Could add Carter to that too but it sounds like he is adding lots off the field.

NMS was signed for next year too, with the expectation that he would play this and next season. Bus has been signed basically as a trial and was never expected to play this game. Bus is trying to train his way into the squad for next year.
Canes coaches, as numpty as they are about locks, have gone in with eyes open to Julien. Not so sure about N Milner-Hammer

Is history being made? Is this the first time the Canes have fielded an all white back 3?

@Dice we won the title with Woodward, Jane & Marshall.

@KiwiMurph he’s actually my second cousin. His Grandad was my Grandmas brother. That’s on the Curry side of the family so he is mostly white.

His Dad's from Wairoa, you can't get any more Māori than that.
Also, you forgot Bro-den Barrett.

Raetihi. Best town in NZ. Nothing there, but the best people.

The only person I know from Raetihi is a white farmer girl who went to Iona College (girls boarding school in Havelock North).

Canes looking for four wins on the bounce against the Chiefs. 18000 tickets sold already to this match.

@Canes4life said in Hurricanes v Chiefs:
@Bones lol what has Wainui done all season apart from look mediocre? McKenzie is trying to make up for what Wainui lacks in attacking ability and it's hurting his All Black chances.
Maybe it's just poor coaching that's holding Wainui and Stevenson back, but it's a worry. The Chiefs have totally lost their deadly attacking flair that they were renowned for during their title run and the few years afterwards.
Gotta agree with @Bones here, chief - the the Canes' wingers are nothing more than the South African versions of George Bridge

deluded Hurricanes fans mentioning their average players as "possible All Blacks" doesn't count for very much

I think they believe it's now a roster after Webber got a gig, some bench players and anyone signed for Crusaders.

I'm a possible all black. I'm also a possible romantic partner of Scarlett Johansson.
It's just very very very very unlikely.

@junior funnily enough Goosen was mentioned as a possible AB a season or so ago don’t see Sean Wainui anywhere near being an AB. I don’t see Any of the Chiefs have anywhere near the work rate of Goosen.
@mikey07 and they can't score tries which is quite vital towards winning games.

@mariner4life Not as bad as Chiefs fans sickeningly dribbling over average players.

They're not. They're just not laughably looking at the opposition wings and saying they gain confidence from seeing it when their wings aren't exactly Jonah and Tana.
You could almost literally look anywhere else for an advantage on paper/form and the only area where there isn't one, was the one chosen. That takes some analysis.

@Bones lol the whole Chiefs side is a weak link at the moment. Not too much analysis needs to go into beating them when they are all playing average rugby and have a coach who is the laughing stock of NZ right now. But if you feel that Wainui out of all people is one of their stronger players then good on yah. Let’s see how he goes on Saturday night.
