Well, interesting watching game in Aus on Stan, the only thing they were interested in was Ardie's gesture, and what was said to him. Seems noone saw it, or heard anything. Have to say I personally pleased that players still seem to adhere to what's done on field etc

Has there ever been a bigger bunch of muppets assembled in a rugby team as this Hurricanes one? Seriously Cringeworthy

Noticed that this ref wasn’t as eager to hurry them along as last week. Wasn’t really an issue in the Saders-Landers game since it was over so soon. Interested to see how it’s managed on Saturday.

None of the Aussie refs have applied the 'speeding up' that well. Virtually no differnce.

How did lakai and Higgins go
they were two of the players that triggered my comment about average games from some guys that get fluffed a lot on here.

Lol Higgins came on with a couple mins to go. Can’t really judge a player on a couple mins.
We have to remember Super is a big step up from NPC. Higgins and Lakai looked superb at NPC but I’m sure it will take a little while for them to find their feet at Super. Let’s give them a bit of time before making judgements. Lakai was good last week, quiet last night. Let’s be a little patient, they are only kids at this point.
In saying that Roigard who isn’t much older looked superb last night, but even he has taken a few years playing a few mins here and there to find his feet.

Apologies. Confused him with Godfrey for a minute there.
Iose, Morgan, Lakai all very average and Moorby seemed more cold than hot IMO.

Agree on this point. When on the front foot the Canes looked very crisp and organised in the backs

Yeah Iose is not a 6, Morgan is very up and down.

This is why Lakai missing out on the All Blacks XV at the end of last year wasn't without reason (despite your complaints at the time).

I don’t remember complaining about Lakai. It was more Delany who definitely should have been there.

Early season but the Canes have some starch in their forward pack to go with the usual flash. Walker-Leawere put in a real busy shift. Only concern would be at loosehead at set piece.
The Stan team keep playing the Ardie incident on TV and on the big screen endlessly while at the same time wailing how bad it was for kids to see it..... Wot? -

Rakete-Stones is usually the starting LH. Not sure why he hasn't played in rounds 1 and 2; maybe he has a minor injury that they hoped would heal in time for this game, but didn't?

Apart from the red last night Mafileo is our best loosehead IMO. He’s starting to develop into a quality prop and he’s young which is a bonus.

@Canes4life PR-S was the regular starter, last season.

Mafileo is still better, he’s bigger, better in the carry, holds his own at scrum time. If he isn’t suspended he should be starting next week.
If PRS was our best prop he would have featured already.
It’s clear that our best front row is Mafileo, Aumua and Lomax.

Colour me surprised, you think a Hawkes Bay player should be starting. PRS is average. Numia had his number in the NPC twice this year. Mafileo is clearly the best of the three, if you don’t think so you clearly haven’t been watching close enough.
