Is it fair to say this is close to the Landers 23 going from those photos?
- De Groot
- Taylor
- Mau'u
- Holland
- Dunshea
- Howden
- Lasaga
- Withy
- Hastie
- Grant
- Nareki
- Tavatavanawai
- Telea'a
- Lowe
- Rautamatuvuki-Kneepkens
- Vikena
- Bartlett
- Wingham
- Haig
- Stodart
- Fakatava
- Millar
- Umaga-Jensen
Hard to judge. Seems to be a few combinations in the photos. Especially in the backs. Seen both Lennox and Hastie at halfback.
Same at hooker with both Vikena and Taylor in the top strip.
Could be a bit of a lottery. Really will say a lot about the opinion of our current 10s if a guy with one NPC start gets the gig
@SouthernMann Robinson will start at 10
-
Friday forecast for this match is perfect conditions with a slight breeze.
-
The Hurricanes are wearing their Captain America jerseys again this week.
I’m so looking forward to not being able to tell which team has the ball.

Tangitau not likely to play again this SR season.
Hearing he may need surgeryAh feck. Disappointing it wasn't identified earlier
@Canes4life just what we need at Sky Stadium, being miles away from the field and unable to tell the two teams apart

I’m kind of hoping at least the Landers do the same as there was some green in their Hulk strip.

They've worn their maroon away jersey regularly.
Let's hope that's the case then. Surely both sides have the brain power to ensure there isn't a clash of jerseys, it's so infuriating as a fan.
-
Hurricanes team vs Highlanders
- No Lomax (ankle)
- Du Plessis to the bench
- Still no Delany (back) and Flanders
- Cameron comes onto the bench for Hohepa.
-
Highlanders team to play Hurricanes
-
Would have been a great game to see Flanders back in the jersey but oh well, very happy to see Brett Cameron back none the less! I guess this is considered a rest for Kirifi who has probably played the most minutes for us this year.

I know the guy cops a fair bit of flack. But, I just can't understand the selecting of Lowe if we aren't renewing his deal. The season is gone. Just pick guys who are coming back again. Lowe isn't so good he has to be picked. He is just a limited mistakes option.

@SouthernMann yep, think it's worth giving Robinson a shot at fullback too, him and Miller might work well in combination.

So you're new to Super Rugby then?

You’d just think at some point they’d learn from their 1000 previous mistakes.

@SouthernMann is it confirmed he's gone end of this season? Know he's off contract but it'd be just like the Landers to sign him for another two years while letting some serious talent slip away.

Ripper of a day here in the Hutt. Great open running rugby conditions. Looking forward to seeing Jonah Lowe rip it up.

Now all we need is no jersey clash. It's one of those 'can't beat Welly on a good day' type of days. Unfortunately I can't get in for the game but will crack a cold one in anticipation of another solid Canes performance with Roigard going on an absolute tear.
-
And the Highlanders are paying $8. Cheeky $10 on a Highlanders and Tavi Time (win in the Scone Cup) multi
