How many Drua home games have been played under lights? It would only be games in Suva.
There's been 4 games in Suva
I had a quick look at the highlights and it seems two of them finished with the lights on
(started in daylight though)April 2022 vs Highlanders. Drua lost 24-27
June 2023 vs Reds. Drua won 41-17 -
The forecast for tonight's game in Suva is for rain so not sure who that will benefit. I'd like to think it will benefit the Canes with the way our tight five have been performing but with the changes I'm a little unsure. We also lose some of that tactical kicking advantage with Moorby at fullback instead of Love but hopefully we can atleast bank 4 points to put a bit of a buffer on the chasing pack.

The Drua's handling in the appalling conditions last time wasn't shabby. Major point of difference IMO.
If they can play like that again and get some early points, it could be trouble.

Harry Godfrey and Riley Higgins are playing for Petone in Wellington's club comp this weekend. Godfrey playing at 10 and Riley playing at 12. Punivai is on the bench for Petone aswell.
Other Hurricanes playing club rugby in Welly are Peter Umaga-Jensen (Wainuiomata) and Reon Paul (Norths)
Interesting to note that 3/4 of the Canes players playing club rugby this week in Welly are playing at 12.

I have a bit of doing about this game.
I'm stumped
If there ever was a reason to proof read there it is.

@Canes4life looking at the names in the other team I can only think they're playing OBU?
@Bones yup, the Billy Goats.

And that leads to Love looking sharp at 10.

Nice kick, fortuitous bounce. Easy try to Proctor.

Surprisingly the kick came from Rayasi. Unusual for him to put in the effort and not screw it up.
