Brumbies vs Canes
-
<p>Possible shower in the evening coming off a forecast 31 degree day. Already got my tickets, hoping the Canes flog the Brumbies and all the public servants don't turn up for the remainder of the season...</p>

<p>Lots of talent in that team but worried about the inexperienced midfield combo.</p>

<p>And will be tested against a solid Wallaby combo in Toomua and TK.</p>

<p>Last season the Brumbies were very successful using the "rolling" maul to score tries. It's largely the same pack so I'd be expecting the same.</p> -
Ive been watching the Hurricanes preseason documentary on foxtel here is Aust which has got me excited about the start of the season. Plenty of new faces. While its a big hole to fill in midfield they have some decent options to try. Hopefully one of them comes off.

<p>That's if he isn't broken himself of course :)</p> -

Hah, I like it! Saw the yellow and black jersey when I was home, that's definitely hideous. -

<p><strong>J Savea looks a little heavy </strong></p>
<p>The Canes jerseys are somewhat blinding - and is that even grass?</p>
<p>Leali'fano evens it uo at 3-3 so far</p>

<p>I was thinking the same thing. Unless they gave him a small outfit to wear. </p> -
