I was reading somewhere today that the Reds haven’t beaten the Canes since 2013. The Hurricanes have won 13 of their last 14 Super Rugby Pacific matches against the Queensland Reds, including each of their last nine by an average margin of 16.6 points per game

That’s a pretty decent record, hope we don’t break that run this week.

I'm hoping for a big game from Daniel Sinkinson. He's a bit of an unknown for many Australian teams and he could be a surprise factor. At only 24 he seems like a big, rangy lad with speed that could cause some damage down the right side if given space. I never thought much of him but he was impressive in a quarter final loss against the Brumbies a few years ago. Haven't seen too much of him since because of Moorby, Rayasi and Naholo last year but he might be a surprise package for us heading into the latter stages of Super.

In saying that, I think Sullivan starts when he gets over his head knock.

I head Sullivan was cleared to play? So might start over Sinkinson

He's on the bench.

Great start Canes, Love under the posts within 90 seconds.

That was very well constructed

Reds looking to hit right back and they do through Tate McDermott.

2 tries within the first four mins of the game.

I think Love has broken his wrist.

@Canes4life Fuck that. Confirmed or suspected?

First time Reds are taking a shot at goal.

@Canes4life looks serious
Reds ruck speed ball is impressive

@Tim not confirmed yet. Just the way he was holding it after coming down trying to catch the ball.

Love is still out there, thank fuck. Right arm/elbow is strapped up now.

Poor from Lakai

Poor from Lakai

Spending too much time around Shields.

Asiata with a side entry thought I was seeing things

Massive scrum by the Canes on their own line. Good try saving tackle from Love on Fraser prior to that.

Kirifi with yet another vital steal at the breakdown. Best in the business atm.

Fuck sake Asafo, learn how to throw into a lineout. It's killing us atm.
