Fuck if we're gonna beat anyone it'll be the Canes but fuck knows tbh.
Two good matches the WE. In that the winner is not (almost) known in advance. The only question is by how much
Yes this match is the cripple fight. But still could be a good match. As the warm up to the main event. I look forward to the Canes naming their team. I'm sure the first names selected will be Blackwell and Prinsep. And the team won't make the sensible decision and start Barrett at 10. But who knows. I might be pleasantly surprised.

@crucial check the other game thread.....
I don’t think I want to now.

That Ruben Love comes across as a kid with a future. Really seems to have smarts and his head screwed on going by his appearance on Breakdown last night.
He mentioned that he has been training solely as a fullback but surely he is also an option at 10?@crucial said in SRA Round 4: Hurricanes v Chiefs:

I'd expect Lowe and ALB to start. I'd still be fine with McKenzie at 10 and Stevenson at 15 but idk there's a hard on for Gatland.

@yeetyaah They might do to Lowe what they did to Falcon, last year. Make him play for BOP for the Chiefs Centurion Cup. :pouting_face:

The positives of that Canes' line-up: Numia starting ahead of Armstrong, Campbell ahead of Taumateine.
The negatives: many, but particularly not starting Flanders, Leger at 10, PU-J on the bench and starting Proctor; O'Reilly on the bench instead of Thompson. Visinia should have been in the 23 instead of either the Bus or Goosen. Still no Toala. Grrrrrrrrrr
