What is Narawa like? Still not a Plummer fan.

A speedy winger. Good step, too. He's kind of slight. Not a big lad.

Fun highlights here:

Hope he goes well

Eklund played well off the bench last up, so it'll be interesting to see how he goes starting. Don't know much about Sotutu's replacement Aaron Carroll, except he usually plays lock. I think the Canes loosies may have the edge over their Blues counterparts tonight.

That’s right. With Sotutu, Blues have the edge in the loosies. Without him we don’t. It’s a testament to what an influential player he is at such an early stage in his career.

brother against brother on opposite ends, when was the last time we had this (backs)? my minds says the mckenzies (chiefs-highlanders both at 10)

This article takes a look at the brother versus brother dynamic, and labels the Canes favorites.

Beauden’s been a calming presence but hardly stamped his mark on attack for his new side; Jordie’s been a key man with his massive boot and timely incisions, but also displayed touches of rust.

Second spot on the ladder beckons for the winners, with the Crusaders already six points clear and enjoying the bye at the halfway point.

Despite dual losses to the Blues either side of Covid-19 lockdown, the Hurricanes get the favourites’ tag at home on a forecast chilly but dry night with less of a pesky breeze than for last Sunday’s 17-11 win over the Highlanders.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the brothers competing. Hopefully we will see a little extra interest by both, and in the tackling, putting the other on their ass.

What the situation with Sotutu. Is he injured? Rested?

Posted: **Sat Jul 18, 2020 5:14 am**

Just found it

But Sotutu was spotted hobbling due to a knee injury late in last week's loss to the Crusaders and although he completed the match, he is understood to have undergone scans afterwards.

Just watching the coverage.

Christian Cullen looks about 60.

Has he had a medical condition or ... ?

BB should get some tips from DC on how to tackle.

Posted: **Sat Jul 18, 2020 7:22 am**

Can you award a yellow for an offence after an offence?

Yes - what do you think a retaliation penalty is? Also, in this case the ball was still live in the offence was cynical.
