i see Smith and Jane are fit to play the Force on Friday :D

i think its gonna be a try feast by the Canes.....having Weepu back is also a confidence booster :D just hope Nonu plays well...as i want Nonu & Smith to be the AB centers with SBW on the bench etc.....

i can't wait for this game.....its very difficult to beat the hurricanes in Wellington...i just wonder why they don't play all their home games there :huh:

where is Rodney So'ialo ???? :huh: we need a fetcher upfront....hopefully the Canes can click in these last few weeks....
 
Considering the Force's injuries last week, the Hurricanes should take this by a considerable amount.

Here are the backs who made the trip to NZ today: Chris Cottee*, Nick Cummins, Patrick Dellit, Mitch Inman, Alfie Mafi, Rory Sidey, David Smith, Cameron Shepherd, James Stannard, Mark Swanepoel

*(new signing for this tour, Manly halfback)

I suspect they will line up along the lines of: 9. Swanepoel 10. Stannard 11. Smith 12. Imnan 13. Sidey 14. Cummins 15. Shepherd

I suspect Shepherd is another option for 10, but really who cares. We are gonna get smashed in the backs! I just hope the defence (and backrow) keeps us in the game.

Related to the former SA & Bulls scrumhalf Werner Swanepoel ??

I'm not sure, having a look at his profile he was born in Jo'burg. But there are no articles that mention who his dad is. So i think it is unlikely unless his dad currently lives in QLD.

He is 20 and has a rookie contract with the Force, from what i have seen he has what it takes.
 
I dont know. They have been all over the show this season and its almost like we watching the Chiefs. You know they are a great side on paper, just have not been able to click this season. I think there may be other problems there
