@Canes4life I was just asking why you don’t like them mate? Was just a simple question didn’t know you were gona get so worked up about it
@jimmyboy12 you’ve literally appeared out of nowhere and are accusing me of hating HB players and knowing everything. Got to say it’s a tad odd.
I’m not getting defensive I’m just a bit freaked out tbh. Might lock the doors tonight.

I'm just gutted they didn't wheel out a B team against the second worst team NZ team.

@Canes4life oh mate I think you need to ask around what the welly boys done to it last year and how it had to get fixed
thought you would have known since you know everything mate and your comment proves how you got something against hb playersWhat a load of tripe.
@African-Monkey so true. This is either @Higgins or @Stargazer’s second account. Or Jonah Lowe’s joined the Fern?

@Winger not sure, it’s definitely not him though. Hope SG is all good.

@cgrant rested I think, he’s taken part in every game this year.

@Bones good to see Punivai getting another shot under the roof.

@Dan54 he wouldn't be a bad option on the wing if we get injuries there.

Jonah Lowe either has a stormer or a shocker. I don't really see any in-between with that as a selection... hopefully it is the former!
@frugby can’t really see him having a stormer, especially up against arguably the best defensive centre in NZ. He rarely has good games in his preferred position. He’s the glaring weakness in that Landers backline and I’m sure the Canes will look to exploit that.
-
I only expect Lowe to play 40 - 50 minutes. With Timu to play the majority of the second half. A stormer for Lowe to me isn't making breaks. It will be making all his tackles, not being caught out of position and putting his wingers into space when the options arise. I wouldn't be aurprised if they try and put the ball behind the Canes line and have Lowe try to squeeze through. I also reckon we might see Tavatavanawai pop up at centre on attack and Lowe drift out to the wing.

I disagree. That wouldn't be a stormer, that would be Lowe doing an adequate job of a Super Rugby centre, something I'm almost certain he isn't capable of.
What there is every chance of though, is the Canes worrying about the threat out wide, and Lowe having enough pace to hit a line, and then make a good decision.

We are saying the same thing. He doesn't appear to have the skillset to deliver to what you'd expect of a centre at this level. So meeting the traditional expectations will have him exceed the expectations we have for him as fans, for this game, playing out of position.

Lol Wheeler saying the Canes were clunky against the Force last week. Ffs he obviously didn’t watch the game because 1. we played the Rebels and 2. we weren’t clunky. Do your prep man.

@Canes4life Joe Wheeler always talks down the North Island sides.
Too many southerners in the commentary box these days.
