@labcat Apparently Holland has talked of Rayasi's work rate, and getting involved a bit more.

That is fair. Rayasi is great when he has the ball but doesn't do a lot off the ball (a criticism of a lot of wingers). I watched Rayasi closely in the Maori-Moana Pasifika game and he looked disinterested if the ball wasn't going his way.

Was really looking forward to seeing Zarn Sullivan's progress this year. Disappointed that he's not even on the bench. Is he injured?

He wasn't listed as injured
I guess he was squeezed out because of the 6/2 bench
-
On that 6/2 split, what happens if Perofeta gets injured? Clarke, Telea & Tele'a don't really offer fullback cover.
Would it be Plummer dropping back and Tele'a coming in to 12?

@canes4life Not exactly the same level. Sam Caird had a standout Mitre 10 Cup for Northland but his Waratahs debut last weekend was one to forget.
@kiwimurph thought Caird was very poor until the last couple of games in mitre10 2020.

@muddyriver probably around the time his signing was announced...season started with him sharing time with Temo.
But last few games he was excellent, particularly the semi v Otago.

I think these are the main selection questions for the Blues for this match
- Who starts between Hodgman & Tu’inukuafe
- Which loose forward misses out on the 23, one of Sotutu/Ioane/Robinson?
- Who are the two halfbacks (although I suspect Christie is the starter)?
- Plummer v Tele'a
- Who starts and who is on the bench between Sullivan and Perofeta
-
Surely canes should have used their ref call for that pass from black?

@winger said in Hurricanes v Blues:
Very poor from Flanders. Cost 7 points
Pass to no one. Lucky bounce for Papali'i.
-
This will be a travesty if they come back for a penalty for the Akira tackle.
