To kick off the first official Super Rugby match thread of the season there is a locking injury crisis within the Reds at the moment and they are going to have to play a loose forward at lock to start the season.
This, and the fact it’s going to be raining on Saturday makes me think that it might be better for the Canes to start a sizeable pack to really dominate in up front.
Here’s the article:

That will even things up in that department then

We’ve already got a loose-forward playing lock in JB.

So no Love & Cameron right? Plus I think Prinsep is out (oh no!)
Any stabs at the 15?
I'd assume Morgan gets the 10 jersey and Moorby at fullback.
By my calculations those players that aren't available for the opening round / the Aus trip are: TJ Perenara, Brett Cameron, Ruben Love, Peter Umaga-Jensen, Tyler Laubscher, Reed Prinsep, Bailyn Sullivan, Jacob Devery, Daniel Sinkinson and Justin Sangster.
Morgan will start at 10, Moorby will start at 15, and Godfrey will be first five/ fullback reserve.

Getting the excuses in early?

Haha just stating facts. I expect us to beat the Queenslanders even with those players out.

Tyler is have no luck with injuries. 10 out with injuries and some possible starters is not a good way to begin (typical though in recent years). Hopefully most are short term
@Canes4life I hoping so!!

it will make it harder though. But luckily the team shouldn't be too much weaker. Maybe at 1st 5 (and HB and maybe FB. Even centre) but need to see how Morgan and Cameron goes

Morgan played better for the Canes at the back end of last year than he did for the Lions in NPC. Hope he can find that form from last year because it will be needed in the early rounds.

The word is that the Reds are starting 19 year old Lynagh (son of) at 10.
We may aswell start Harry Godfrey and let two 19 year olds go toe to toe.
@foobaNZ said in Reds vs Hurricanes:
Hopefully team drops soon. Don't know who I'm going to bitch about given Reed is confirmed out ;(
If they start Jamie Booth over Cam Roigard you can bitch about that.
Josh Moorby, Julian Savea, Billy Proctor, Jordie Barrett, Salesi Rayasi, Aidan Morgan, Cam Roigard, Ardie Savea 
, Peter Lakai, Devan Flanders, Isaia Walker-Leawere, James Blackwell, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Xavier Numia
Reserves: Asafo Aumua, Tevita Mafileo, Tyrel Lomax, Caleb Delany, Du’Plessis Kirifi, Brayden Iose, Jamie Booth, Harry Godfrey

Lakai starting at 7, hell yeah. That is a decent side to kick the season off. A 6-2 split on the bench is interesting but not surprising given how hot it's going to be.

Great news. And some other interesting forward selections in the tight 5.

Apparently Aumua and Lomax on the bench as they are on limited minutes this week due to coming back later than others to pre season.
