Highlanders v Hurricanes
-
Alaimalo must be feeling good about his move to Dunedin and the opportunity to play fullback.
@gunner yeah, had an ok pre season and then started against the saders...and pretty much not seen since
its like we're telling him, you didn't single handedly beat the best rugby team in the comps history so your out
not a lot of height in that back line
-
@stargazer Parkinson won't need to jump in lineouts either.
@bovidae he'll have to stay away from Ardie then.

@gunner has he fallen that far, or makes you wonder if he has off-field issues affecting him?

@stargazer said in Highlanders v Hurricanes:
@bovidae No need for a 6:2 split against a Hurricanes' pack.
The way we’re playing hardly need to bother with a bench at all

@mofitzy_ said in Highlanders v Hurricanes:
Leger starting. Love debut on the bench.
as a non hurricane...that looks good on paper at least

Negatives: Flanders again on the bench instead of starting; PU-J on the bench and Proctor starting.
Positives: Rakete-Stones getting an opportunity, replacing Armstrong on the bench; no James Blackwell and Julian Savea!

good news is Nareki is avaliable....but they seem to have mixed Ioane and hunt up
maybe this will work better than ioane at 12good to see Vahaakolo getting a game but CGB has been good so not sure why hes not starting
where the hell is Alaimalo?
Evans starting? where is shelby-ricket?
not confident
@kiwiwomble Far too many Josh’s in that team for my liking
-
@bovidae said in Highlanders v Hurricanes:
A Canes team without Blackwell starting looks so wrong...
All the leadership missing with him out will surely spell doom to the Horrorcanes.
-
@higgins What about all the height we lose to without him.... I’m absolutely flabbergasted that the coaches had the guts to make wholesale changes, If they’d swapped Prinseep for Flanders and Billy Floptor for PUJ I’d be happy
@mikey07 No worries as we have still got Ardie and S Scrafton (at least for the twenty minutes or so before he gets injured again). I'm picking they will be throwing heaps to R Prinsep at the back as he has to be in the team for additional reasons apart from his leadership.

what is PU-J not doing well enough? Impressed me from what I saw of him. Didn't think NZ was that overrun by quality midfielders...

@nostrildamus Yeah but the coaches love there next best thing in Proctor maybe trying to justify why he had a 5 year Canes contract.
@mikey07 ah thanks, so the reason is the local Proctorologists. Poor guy, must feel a bit shafted.
