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

                @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.

                                @Canes4life Joe Wheeler always talks down the North Island sides.

                                Too many southerners in the commentary box these days.

                                        Dog tucker defence from Lowe. Trying to scrag Naholo. Just what we want from our centre.
