@Canes4life team namings can be misleading - a player can be named and then a late change
Will be the case for both teams. Breaking some big news here…
Ruben Love tweaked his calf at training yesterday. Will be undergoing tests/scans to find out the severity. Nervous wait
Oh ffs. You have to be kidding me. Can’t we just get through the week without any bloody niggles.
Ruben just loves a leg injury. 
@zedsdeadbaby correct.
@zedsdeadbaby still expect him to be in 23 . Thursday

I didnt realise Lauaki played Loosehead as well? Thought he had been used pretty much exclusively at TH
He’s played loose head almost all season mate.
Joshua Fusitu’a (hamstring)
This is dragging out. He was named in the last regular season game and they pulled him out as a precaution
No Flanders, might not see him again in a Canes jersey. Hopefully back for the final if we make it through. Shields might be cooked by then.

Meanwhile Laidlaw had him out there for 80 minutes on Friday......

Our props sure love a spell on the sidelines, Ofa last year, now Fusitua to go with Ben Ake and Jordan Lay. Mason Tupaea has become a seasoned veteran as a reuslt of all these injuries.

Interesting to note that Harry Godfrey is off the injured list. Maybe he'll be called upon if Ruben is ruled out.
Crazy to also think that Lakai is playing his 50th game at the raw age of 23.

Which could possibly have been avoided if he had been dragged early to rest his legs...

Sorry? Am I missing something?
Approx 20K tickets sold so far for this game, hopefully as we get closer to kick-off there will be another big surge in ticket sales.
34500 capacity stadium. You would like to think they will hit at least 25-30k range for a semi final against the Blues. Surely

Yeah, I'm pretty confident come Saturday we will be in that range. I'd say we will be pushing to get over 30K though.
Meant to be a good day as well which will help.
The Canes have the best marketing and social media team, it's up to the Wellington public to get behind them now. This is marketing genius for those that haven't seen it.

You would , but do you think some will be waiting for final next week if they make it? Not saying they are, just I was talking to fella who is planning on going down next week.

Ben OKeefe referee
Well so 2 of top 3 ranked refs are doing the semis so good! Actually BOK couldn't of done it couple of years back as he wasn't allowed to do Canes games.

Not real fans if they can't turn up this week.

Mate, it's a 3.5 hour drive each way, I think they can pick one.

Naa mate, and like you I would expect him there this week, if he lived there, I would certainly have been at all
You can see in this video Harkin is kicking off so obviously didn’t train.
Sullivan also in 23 squad kit so looks like he’ll come onto the bench.
Love looks like he’ll be out for this week.

It's only the Blues...lost 4 on the trot.
Not exactly close losses either.....

No update on this today. Taking it as no news is good news for Canes fans. If I find out tomorrow I’ll post in here
