lisfranc foot injury.

That could be up to 3 months out.Depending on wether it is a break or a tear.

Akira could be out of action for a while.

He's indicated he has a lisfranc foot injury.

Unlike. I see @Chris got in quickly with a like for this news.

HaHa more on the info than the news,

Gee the Canes at $3.30 are a good shout.

We've picked a crap team but most of that Blues team didn't play NPC. I think it'll be a lot closer than $3.30

[Tim]

Tu'inukuafe, Tuipulotu, Cowley-Tuioti, Papalii, Ioane, and Barrett. Best chance Canes have had in a while.

[Canes4life]

@tim to be fair we are also missing Coles, Perenara, Franks, Bird, Walker-Leawere, Roigard and Scrafton so it all evens out I guess.

[Crucial]

How many minutes is Jordie allowed to play?

[Canes4life]

@crucial hopefully all of the minutes.

[Bovidae]

@canes4life Fidow too. Playing the 100-year old May can't have been in the plan.

Sucks for Akira

Huge opportunity for Tom Robinson if he can stay fit (big if).

I assume he'll get the c quite often as the team captains also struggle to stay uninjured.

@machpants Tackles with his head down too that’s why fainga'anuku bumped him off on the way to scoring

[Bovidae]

James Doleman is the ref.

[mikey07]

@tim Not with RTS making breaks every time he gets the ball is set play Savea will be like a cruise ship trying to turn.

[Tim]

Didn't see mentioned who the Blues captain is for this game?

Robinson

[taniwharugby]

@kiwimurph man I hope the guy can stay uninjured (him and Goodhue in fact) he has such huge potential at this and possibly higher.

Concussion being the main worry with Robinson.

I like Segner too, but I think he might be a year away from really contributing.

I'm a Segner sceptic

Hopefully I'm wrong but I've been underwhelmed by what I've seen of him even at NPC level.

He has an interesting back story and I think that's has generated more positive coverage than his play has warranted

I not sure his back story is interesting, big deal he came from Germany, I actually surprised anyone would judge him as a player because of that. I liked the look of him when I saw him as NZ schoolboys captain against Aus a few years back at Ballymore , and thought then I like his play. Very much a flanker in the mould of Sam Cane type, got a terrific workrate, not overly flashy.

[taniwharugby]

@chris yeah he suffered a nasty one last year in NPC pre-season, but cos he throws himself around so much (in the same mold as Norm Maxwell) its the other injuries he picks up too
