Hire Experts For Concrete Cutting Making The Best
Concrete Driveways Adelaide is often recommended because of their low servicing. While road needs maintenance over several decades, concrete, once set up and enclosed, needs very little care. However, the concrete costs more than the road to set up, so you do pay a price for the time you will save. 23 Jul 2018 by lease cleaning 28 views 0 Comments

Hurricanes Starting Team Super Rugby 2014 15 views 3 Comments
24 January 2014 by The Swede Eaters
 

Scotty Donaldson takes a shot at naming a likely Hurricanes Super Rugby 2014 starting team. Do you agree?

There isn’t long until Super Rugby 2014 kicks off.  It is exciting casting your eye over the different squads and exciting trying to pick the teams assuming everyone is fit (which doesn’t happen much these days). 
The Hurricanes squad has been overshadowed by the Chiefs and Crusaders in the New Zealand conference in recent seasons, but their 2014 Super Rugby squad boasts plenty of talent.

There is a sprinkling of All Blacks, although it is difficult to tell when they will start playing in Super Rugby 2014.  The Hurricanes top players are hooker Dane Coles, prop Ben Franks, lock Jeremy Thrush, Number Eight Victor Vito and backs like TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Conrad Smith, Cory Jane and Julian Savea, while Alapati Leiua is an exciting Samoan international outside back. 

There are also some exciting young players like Brad Shields, Ardie Savea, Jeffery Toomaga-Allen and Marty Banks who will look to use their Super Rugby 2014 campaigns to launch their bids for All Black jerseys heading towards the Rugby World Cup 2015. 

Here is my Hurricanes 2014 starting team and bench.  The Hurricanes have plenty of quality across the paddock with their outside backs the toughest place to earn a starting spot.  Who would you put in the midfield with Conrad Smith?  The reliable Hadleigh Parkes look set to earn the second five eighth jersey ahead of Tim Bateman and Cardiff Vaega, although it is hard to know how his combination will go with Conrad Smith.  It is hard to find spots for the exciting Marty Banks and James Marshall.

Do you agree with my starting Hurricanes 2014 squad assuming everyone is available?

I would not bet against Andre Taylor getting a start at 15. He may have had a bad season last year but in 2012 he was phenomenal. So as a result I would say Jane would move to 14 with Taylor at 15. Also, Bateman was great in the ITM cup so would be surprised to see Parkes get a start before him. They will most likely use Parkes as a utility back who can cover for 15, 12 and 10.

I'd be amazed if Parkes starts in front of Bateman - even hammerbrains must see the difference in quality between these two.

1 . Aidan Ryce 27 Jan 2014 06:32 AM
Broadhurst finished last season pretty well and I think he will start alongside Thrush. And Tim Bateman was in quality form in the ITM Cup and for the Maori's so I think he will start at second five. Other than that it sounds spot on. Marty Banks sounds like a solid bench player who could slot in at first five or fullback and possibly work his way into the starting XV. It will be bloody tough to make it to the playoffs considering how strong the Kiwi conference is. I'd say Hammett will leave at the end of the season. They should give Chris Boyd two seasons to see if he can deliver anything promising.
