FOUR fucking captains?
Over 25% of on-field players are captains.
Have they been doing that all season?
They haven't had a chance because one of them has always been injured or has come off the bench. I think this is the first time all of them have started.
I'm not a fan. Kirifi should be the straight out captain IMO.

I not a fan either, but bet Kirifi will be the on field captain as such. It's just part of this leadership group thing isn't it

Higgins broken leg ?, think I heard that right on news talk Zb
Yep, confirmed on Stuff. He played 25 minutes against the Landers with a broken leg and then they only found out the extent of the injury before hopping on a plane to Queensland. He was apparently originally named to start against the Reds.
@Canes4life devastating for Riley,just getting no luck.

He’s still young though so plenty of time to make a statement. Hopefully he’s back for the Lions in the NPC.
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.
@Darren said in Reds vs Hurricanes:
I head Sullivan was cleared to play? So might start over Sinkinson
He's on the bench.
@Canes4life Fuck that. Confirmed or suspected?
@Canes4life looks serious
Reds ruck speed ball is impressive
Massive scrum by the Canes on their own line. Good try saving tackle from Love on Fraser prior to that.
Superb from Proctor and he sets up Fineanganofo. It all started from a big break from Kirifi.

Fuck sake Asafo, learn how to throw into a lineout. It's killing us atm.
its unbelievable that he just doesn't seem to get any better at throwing lineouts

Yep, I'm getting a bit tired of it now.
Yes Cam, lovely try that. Opportunist bounce.
Canes 19-13 with a couple minutes to go in the first half.

Fakatava-like. Plus he scored.
@Canes4life haven’t seen an ABs hooker this poor since Anton Oliver

It's frustrating because everything else he does is top class. It's just his throwing.

And it's the sort of thing you'd expect to be fixed with practice/coaching.
