Hurricanes vs Chiefs

[ARHS]

@chris-b and about time. Expected to see Iose, Moorby and Sullivan in starting XV though.

[Chris B.]

@arhs If the AB coaches hadn't fucked him around a bit by playing him at first five and wing, we might have seen this move sometime last year.

I'd rather see 12. Jordie; 15 Havili - than vice-versa. Though if it comes off it will doubtless be Jordie and Jordan in those jerseys.

@stargazer You must be happy got a whole two Magpies on the bench

I can only see one. Unless Sullivan has come home and I missed it?

Hey I’ve acknowledged I made a mistake

@canes4life You watch J.Savea will get an assistant coaching job with the Lions in the next couple of years.

I looked up how Holland's Canes have gone against the Chiefs

Jordie at 12 might be the most important selection move for several years.

It would be very handy if he could be outstanding there. He could be like a more skillful SBW.

PUJ may as well ask for a release

This is the only game between these two teams this season unless they meet in the playoffs.

Not necessary. His contract expires this year.

@crucial Not exactly a team with a good culture or a winning one ...

Yeah, under Holland the Canes have a winning percentage of just over 50% which is shocking for a club with the talent it has.

Under Boyd and Plumtree I think it was hovering just over 80%, a fall from grace indeed.

@canes4life I meant the Highlanders.

Yeah, I was just thinking more that he needs somewhere to showcase himself and they are the best/only option.
He's a damn sight better than Gregory and a partnership with his bro and with CGB behind them could work very well.

It worked nicely for Scots College back in the day when they won the national title.

Boyd 76%, Plum 72% according to this

Don't you think there has been a wee change in the mix of opposition......

Would partly account for it. But only part.

The only constant is the other NZ teams. Although the frequency of matches has changed

When I have time I'll update the SR results page to have more options in the opposition menu

• vs NZ sides
• vs Aussies
• vs Saffas
• vs non NZ sides

But way less travel and time away from home overall.
