Blues vs Hurricanes 02/2022

@machpants sums it up.
''Devan Flanders, Ruben Love and Peter Umaga-Jensen – three players the Hurricanes could potentially build their future team around – have all been dropped from the starting lineup to the bench. In their places come Reed Prinsep, Jackson Garden-Bachop and Julian Savea (who has shifted into second five after starting last weekend’s match on the right wing) – three serviceable players who aren’t out of their depth at this level of the game, but likely wouldn’t make the starting line-up of any other New Zealand team. Those decisions, according to Holland, are almost exclusively tactical.''
We essentially go from looking like favourites to chumps with those changes. Pathetic selections by a pathetic coach.

Yeah, it's beyond fucking belief he's not starting those incumbents when it's so crucial for us to win our 2nd match.

If the Canes get up today .
Holland will be a genius HaHa.Certainly possible. Plummer has not convinced at this level at 10. RTS has never played a proper game. 2/3 of the Blues AB loosies not playing. Game on.

..and the Blues haven’t played a game yet. Plenty of players didn’t get much of an NPC
Despite the odds I think this is a 50/50 match

With the Blues not having played a match in the comp yet we might be able to sneak a win, hope those incumbents at least play all the second half. -
Good start from Goodhue, 2 turnovers
-
Romano doing his best for the Crusaders already.
Nice start by RTS.
-
Hate that league rule.
-
Gee thats PT in my book
-
Surely a PT?

How often can you argue that it was a legit attempt that gets a harsher punishment?
