Comms are calling Blues HB Nock but it is Lisati-Harris still.

quite a few changes in the Hurricanes team now. Braydon Iose has replaced Flanders at the back of the scrum. Is that Lakai at openside? Roigard, Higgins on as well.
Howden playing lock, Prinsep at 6, Lakai at openside, Iose at 8, Roigard at 9, Cameron at 10, Higgins at 12.
Jeez we are in trouble if Aumua and Coles get injured. The hooker on atm looks so far out of his depthZ

@Canes4life I think both Higgins brothers are on? It's confusing because some forwards subs are wearing low numbers (not as listed).

Yeah it’s all over the place aye.

@Higgins said in Preseason: Blues v Hurricanes:
@Bovidae Thanks, he certainly galloped up the field a couple of times. Must be the price of food up in Japan causing him to cut back a bit on fatty things!
It was a deliberate plan by Hansen while he was playing for Toyota Verblitz.

R Higgins is looking classy, every time he touches the ball he makes in roads.
-
Where did the Hurricanes get this hooker from? He’s made three crucial errors so far. Hope he isn’t anywhere near the side when the actual season kicks off.

@Canes4life Is it Hame Faiava former Blues player 2017 , 62 games for Benatton and had 5 tests for Italy. Signed for Worcester then lost his job when they folded.

Former U20 player who looked good at that level, but never quite kicked on. He's wandered around a few different low-level leagues, and found his way back here, it seems. I doubt he'll ever get a(nother) start at this level

Hopefully not, he’s a not up to I’m afraid.

Looks like Blues are going to win it. A fairly average game overall tbh, so much dropped pill by both sides. Plenty of work-ons.

@Higgins Lam and the defender jumped for the kick and the ball went back in the air towards the Canes 22. Lam followed it and dived like a gully catch to claim it then passed it off his knees in to Sullivan who ran it in to the corner. The ball went forward off Lams finger tips so he did brilliantly to get to it before it landed.
-
@Canes4life Blame Blackwell for calling himself at the front of the lineout and getting out-jumped by Robinson.

Solomone Naiduku’s agents phone will huming after his cameo in todays game ,has X Factor written all over him
Ratumaivuki Kneepkans made a break down the flank ,Naiduku just switched into another gear and picked him up effortlessly
Had a word with a few the Canes players ,they all said the same thing ,what a talent ..!
