Blues v Hurricanes
-
Hearing that Sam Nock will start in the number 9 jersey against the Canes ..but the real biggie and it will be a test to how accurate my source is Tom Robinson will start and skipper the Blues ..Patrick Tuipulotu will start off the bench ..
@steven-harris good sauce...Paddy T out with a neck injury. Darry in and Robinson starts at 6 and (c). Aki on the bench.

What has Canterbury got to do with this ?

Can someone enlighten me why Robinson doesn't play more often at lock given the number of 6s in the Blues-he much prefers flanker or is missing some skill at lock? Looks big enough...

@dice Hoping to see Faiane in for Plummer.

With Jordie Barrett in such good form with the boot, the Blues won't be starting any of penalty magnets on Friday. They must have been practising all week not to give penalties away. Anything with 65 metres of the posts. Boom, Jordie's big boot gets another three points for the Hurricanes.

Ffs, Blackwell returns to the starting side and Savea comes back in. It felt like we were building but selecting those two again is just taking a step backwards. Holland will never learn I'm afraid, atleast we have a strong bench.
Jordie must be 10 cover aswell.

@canes4life It's hard to believe aye? IWL was awesome, last week! Now back to the bench to make way for that midget.
Armstrong starting again, too.
@stargazer it's just so painful. IWL was one of the top players on the park last week, it surely doesn't give the kid confidence when he's replaced by one of shortest, if not the shortest lock in Super Rugby history. Seriously, what does a guy like Blackwell do at training to make him command such a permanent position in the team? He's just so ordinary and has tits for hands.
Numia and Rakete-Stones have been alot stronger over recent weeks, Armstrong is lucky to be in the 23, let alone starting.

@canes4life Makes me feel like:

The Hurricanes have possibly the strongest bench in the competition, they will look to add a lot of power from the 50th minute with the likes of Numia, Walker-Leawere, Flanders & PUJ being injected late into the game.

The Hurricanes have close to the strongest bench in SRA, they will look to add a lot of power from the 50th minute with the likes of Numia, Walker-Leawere, Flanders & PUJ being injected late into the game.
That's what happens when all your best players start the game on the bench
