Super Rugby 2023 Rd 1 - Reds v Hurricanes

[KiwiM]

Highlanders are fast off the foot not giving time for defensive error.

It's the Hurricanes the Reds are playing.

 

[Misunderstood fan]

It's the Hurricanes the Reds are playing.

That’s what I meant. Highlanders not so much.

 

[liquor box]

What are Reds fans opinions on Isaac Henry? Is he going to be bench this year starting when inevitable injuries strike?
Is Paisami/Flook better than Henry/Paisami?

Henry / Flook for me, Paisami off the bench.

 

[Qldtragic]

Damn, that's a shit load of pressure on a young man.

he will handle it.

Has ice in those veins like his old man

 

[Qldtragic]

What are Reds fans opinions on Isaac Henry? Is he going to be bench this year starting when inevitable injuries strike?
Is Paisami/Flook better than Henry/Paisami?

Henry / Flook would be the best combo
Paisami off the bench to carve up the fatigued back end.

 

[Fireworks]

Anyone know when the Reds team will be announced?

 

[RugbyReg]

11 am tomorrow

 

[Marce]

The question is always: How good will be the Kiwis this season? If they play at a high level, there's no chance. The best for the competition would be Aussies playing at high level and Kiwis not being perfects.

There were seasons where the high level of Kiwis was impossible to match

 

[KiwiM]

Hurricanes named.

Look out for Peter Lakai, the NZ underage player of the year last year.

Canes missing their first choice halfback, first five and fullback.

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

Liam Wright out with concussion

Like this team a lot - a little unsure about Zander but let's see how he goes.

Big shame about Wright, can't seem to catch a break.

 

[Sully]

As much as I'm disappointed to not have Liam Wright in the team I fully support every precaution taken with jead trauma.

 

[RugbyReg]

No word on a Vunivalu injury. Just considered not a starter and not worth taking a bench spot I guess. Not a good look for when Jock Campbell comes back

 

[Brumby Runner]

Reported in the Canberra Times today that Vunivalu (and JOC (James O'Connor)) is suffering a lingering ankle injury.

 

[emuarse]

As much as I'm disappointed to not have Liam Wright in the team I fully support every precaution taken with jead trauma.

I didn't know jead trauma had an injury.

 

[Wilson]

That's a real pity for Wright, but thank god Ryan Smith is available, not sure who else would've come in next

 

[PhilClinton]

Reported in the Canberra Times today that Vunivalu (and JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor)) is suffering a lingering ankle injury.

Thanks BR

And this is why we need a centralised website that lists injury updates for all teams in the comp.

Somehow the Canberra Times know Vunivalu's injury status but his own team won't update anyone...
