I know Canes fans complain about some of Laidlaws selection choices but boy are they by far the best coached side in the comp
Holland and Jane say Hi

How's Barret gone at 15 for the Blues?
For me, not terrible. Just tried to do the basics, doesn't pose any threat with ball in hand
@Fale009 said in SF: Hurricanes v Blues:
I would honestly go with Devery over Tuputupu. Too hard to win tight contests when you can't win your own lineout ball.
Just throw short godammit
Oudenryn always looks to me like he has had to put down his beer and put out his cigarette before getting on the field. He is going to be a fan favourite I reckon.
@Crazy-Horse get him and Preston off the bench at the same time.

Looks like a FAB
Crazy to think Crusaders had the choice of Oudenryn and Letiu. They were spoiled for choice. Letiu looks extremely promising too. Excited to see Oudenryn get a full season next year

Pencil in Odi as an AB bolter.
Would have to be at least one injury. No way there isn't 3-5 players in front of him.
Canes have a subpar first half, less than accurate game in general, and still put 57 on the Blues. Crazy

NZ born, Aussie Wahs dad, if he doesn't see a way to the top it won't be a surprise
The 2 best teams in the comp going at it next week. All you can want as a neutral. Going to be a belter. Hopefully the tin is actually full next weekend
@Rocket1 said in SF: Hurricanes v Blues:
@canefan Which is why the canes will it next week. Everything has clicked for them this season. Which is good for the competition, rather than seeing the same team win it every year.
I feel nervous, the Chiefs have our number and are in form too
I am thinking about throwing a sickie next week so I can watch the final live. I haven't been this excited about a final in a long time.

@canefan I'm pretty sure the canes are due for a win. They've learned from the past two seasons to not choke. That match during the regular season against the crusaders doesn't mean much when it was the canes b team.
Gonna be huge. Can't wait

I feel Canes are too loose for finals rugby. If I was a betting man and went with gut feeling, I think I would put money on the Chiefs. Round robin play, Canes every time, but .....

The Chiefs are effective at slowing us down. We will have to be far better than tonight

Oudenyran puts his hand up for the apprenticeship.
Yep a great call.
Congratulations to the Canes
Watching the Blues in the last month or so is like death by a thousand cuts
The only upside is players not involved the Blues wider squad will be finally released to play club footy
This aspect of the Blues organisation of not rēleasing players for club has been a disgrace much of it driven by a head coach void of ideas but wanting every player at his dispisal
