Ofa looks much more like Moody and Franks at the moment... This is a huge game for him IMO.
So only one dumb penalty this fixture?
That would be a great game for him at the moment. He looks very average. I hate having him at LH and I think he has gone backwards since the move.
With Tamaiti back and EDG nailed on, I’m expecting Numia to be third LH.
Lomax and Newell are also locked in, so for me Ofa is pencilled in as third TH. -

I would not be surprised if Bower is one of the LH props.

In fact that crossed my mind, but would be harsh on Numia.

@pakman yeah Numia has been the form tight head of the comp. His scrummaging has been awesome and he's probably more effective around the field than Bower. Numia would be a great impact prop off the bench in the last twenty. Him and Aumua coming on with 20 odd to go when the game opens up would be a weapon for us.

@Canes4life Agree, except he packs on left side!

A good interview with Clark Laidlaw on SENZ previewing Saturday's game. He seems like such a level headed coach who backs his players 100%. Really glad we chose Laidlaw, I think he's a perfect match for the Canes with his sevens background and his ability to bring all his learnings from coaching the NZ sevens side over the last few years. Challenging all the players no matter the level of their experience makes the team take account for their actions on and off the field. He's really helped the likes of Aumua, Walker-Leawere, Proctor etc take their game to a new level.

Anyone else find it weird that James O’Reilly is coming off the bench for HOBM instead of off the bench for the Canes?

Maybe he has only paid 50% of his annual subscription fee so HOB-M might be digging their heels in and allowing him no more than 50% of the 80 minutes?

Proctor and Delany out for the Canes. Farrk
Sullivan comes in to centre, Higgins to the bench.

Proctor especially is a big loss
I wonder about Sullivan. I'd prefer Higgins at centre.

@Winger would have gone Higgins, Sullivan has hardly played this year.

What’s going on with Delany? He’s been pulled before kick off two weeks in a row.

This is where rugby needs improvement. Why not tell the fans what the issue is.
