Hurricanes v Drua

Fuck sake Garden-Bachop.

JGB making an impact

@Steven-Harris It will be interesting whether Flanders will actually stay at the Canes. His combo with Mikaele-Tu'u would be very beneficial to the Highlanders, but that will probably only happen if Frizell moves on.
At the same time, Mikaele-Tu'u is also off-contract (I think, not sure). So many questions ....

Hopefully he leaves. I'd rather he even go to the Crusaders than stay with Wellington.

Yes please.

If Flanders keeps on cramping up then he can go. Laubsher looks decent enough that we probably wouldn’t miss him.

3 plays by Garden-Bachop has shown exactly why he’s not our number 1 10.

Until love returns Jordie should back up 1st. JGB has lost what little he had

The big question I still think for these coaches , who is your best back 3 , for me personally in a perfect world , my loose forwards would be 7.Savea,6 Flanders 8.Laubscher…given Flanders is out
I suppose you would have to stick to Blake Gibson , has actually played well this season ..Laubscher based on 60 minutes against an under strength Drua?
@Crazy-Horse this kid is good ,the accuracy that he brings belies his age ..before his injury he was tagged for NZ U20s and the Hurricanes in 2020 …South African jeans as well ..to me Ardie is wasted at 8 , especially at this level of rugby .
-
The Canes have too many 8s anyway so it would be good for NZ rugby if Flanders makes that move. The Canes currently have Savea, Iose, Laubsher and Flanders.

@Canes4life I'd rather see Flanders start at 8 for the Canes and Ardie move to 7 permanently, but the coaches have been making it hard for him to stay with their stupid selections.
@Stargazer so would I but Ardie’s an 8 for the All Blacks so I doubt they’ll move him, especially when we have Gibson and Kirifi as specialist 7s.

I should rephrase that - I'd rather he go to the other NZ teams (and MP) first, and then the Crusaders.

Roigard has been really good.
Can we start Roigard and Morgan going forward.
Sangster has been bloody good, can we finally bin Blackwell.
-
Canes totally dominated things today, Drua barely fired a shot unfortunately.
-
This game is just as a meaningless training run as the Blues v Rebels game. Not the Canes' (and Blues') fault, but this game just doesn't tell you much about players and where they're at. Handy for the 5 competition points and to give players lower in the pecking order a run, but that's about it. Excitement level is low.
-
Dane Coles takes the field and all of a sudden the Canes don't suck. Coincidence?
I can totally see that.
