    I would like anyone's view on the HB 1st 5 and 2nd combination

    And a bit pointless at 45-0 HT though. Surely they could have set up more evenly matched teams

          Not sure we're going to win a single game this year. Side a bit shit and no depth. Tough season ahead. But Yellow & Black till I die!

              @canes4life Would’ve been better off doing what the Chiefs and Blues do with provinces playing each other this seems pointless.

                @mikey07 I think that game was a trial game for the U20s; they still have to trim the squad. Also good to give those young lads a run ahead of the tournament in Taupo, although the difference in strength may have been too big.

                  @stargazer I understand the U20s having a run but think the other members of the Canes squad should be playing county cups like the Chiefs.

                    @mikey07 Yep, but the Chiefs have 4 NPC provinces; the Canes only 3. So you'd only have one game per weekend.

                    I don't think it's feasible to form a Heartland team from Wai-Bush, Poverty Bay, East Coast, Whanganui and Horo-Kap to make it four, and I don't think one of those provinces on their own would be good enough, even if you'd add non-playing Hurricanes from outside the catchment.

                    One game could still be useful though.

                      @stargazer I think it might be able to work as it’s only about getting the players match fitness aswell as bringing the younger players through.

                        Could do a game of three halves. You could even do a mini tournament between HB, Manawatu, and Wellington and the Hurricane U20s. It'd be a more even competition then the Hunters game

                          The teams that played in the Chiefs Centurion Country Cup at Hautapu today were a mixture of everything. Some current Chiefs squadies, NPC players, U20 players and even some in their first year out of school.

                              That means he'll also miss the Mitre 10 Cup. Good opportunity for Love to take the reins for Wellington (and Morgan on the bench or at fullback).

                                @stargazer This is Wellington so he has to get past A Morgan first! On second thoughts they will probably sign S Hickey to start for the Lions.

                                      Don’t say that! Hopefully he still has a couple years on his Auckland contract
