Hurricanes player ratings vs Reds | Super Rugby Trans-Tasman

The Hurricanes ended their Super Rugby Trans-Tasman season with a flourish with a 43-14 victory over the Reds but they had a lot to thank referee James Doleman for in Wellington. Tyrel Lomax was lucky to escape a red and the two Reds’ yellow cards were perplexing to say the least. It got as close as 17-14 but the Reds wilted in the last quarter.

Ngani Laumape had an energetic day in his final outing before exiting to France, smashing out the first try and punching out hard-earned metres.

Here are the Hurricanes’ ratings.

1. Xavier Numia – 6/10
Hot and cold game for the loosehead. Given a shellacking at scrum time but ultra useful around the paddock. Underlined his work around the park by swooping in for a turnover and stopping Taniela Tupou in his tracks in the 7th minute. Surely he’d be a world-class league player? Off at 55.

2. Asafo Aumua – 7
Good lineout work this week and Aumua’s throwing looked spot on. The first one of the day set up the Laumape try. Muscular work with a meaty run at 12 minutes where he bumped off Brandon Paenga-Amosa and then put in an offensive tackle on Tupou at 24. Off at 55.

3. Tyrel Lomax – 5
Went down after a nasty knock early and then at 25 went high on Fotuaika for a lucky yellow that has been red so many times before. It was surprising he was impotent against Moeaki Fotuaika at scrum time. Didn’t do his All Black selection chances much good with that performance. Off at 73.

4. James Blackwell – 6.5
Enjoyed the line out work this week, seems to have a better connection with Aumua than Dane Coles and lifters were better. Off at 50.

5. Scott Scrafton – 7
Had a busy night in open play with 16 tackles, the stand out being a boneshaker on Mac Grealy in the 42nd minute and even put in an attacking punt. Won’t get a start at 10 though!

6. Reed Prinsep – 6
Got the kick-off receipt in the 5th minute completely wrong. Keeps his head down and is dependable.

7. Du’Plessis Kirifi – 7
Smashing turnover off Grealy in 9th minute and busy with the ball, 33 metres in 8 carries. Managed to keep his discipline in check and topped the tackle count.

8. Ardie Savea – 6
Ardie got involved with some playmaking and played a good foil a couple of times with some dummy runs distracting the defence. Off at 50, looking a little broken.

9. Cam Roigard – 6.5
Some good work dealing with the untidy ball off an inferior scrum. Seems to have a touch of the old school about him in the way he passes and kicks. Couldn’t clasp the final pass from Goosen at 39 minutes for a try. Would have learnt a lot from Tate McDermott’s performance. Off at 64.

10. Ruben Love – 6.5
You can see that the young tyro is more suited to a position further out than 10 after his lovely ad-libbing in broken play in the 14th minute where he set up Laumape for a potential second try which came unstuck on the grounding. A slicing run after 44 minutes gave him a try and a chance to throw his mum the match ball. Skill-plus at 74 minutes, with a laser 25-metre pass off his backhand.

11. Wes Goosen – 7.5
A very good game at left wing, some good work in the backfield dealing with the Reds’ kicking game. Great tackle in the 18th minute when he stopped Filipo Daugunu in his tracks. Low centre of gravity and jinking running style saw him earn 95 metres off 7 carries. Looks great when on his game.

12. Ngani Laumape – 8
The star was well up for his final outing before heading to France. With his first touch he celebrated a five-pointer after cannoning through like a runaway train, and was unlucky not to get a second in the 14th. Then went a bit quiet but regained his energy in the second half, finishing with 95 metres off 14 carries. Off at 73.

13. Billy Proctor – 6
Another workman-like outing. A nice turnover at 36 minutes and made his best run at 74 minutes where he scythed through down the left.

14. Julian Savea – 6.5
He’s had better games this season but there’s no doubt it’s been a wonderful comeback for the Bus. Good on him for getting in shape and showing his developed game after a sojourn in France. Could Laumape follow his path?

15. Jordie Barrett – 8
Wasn’t the best start for the Tower of Power at 15. Scuffed his first punt and denied a try after a knock-on in the 25th minute. Then around the half-hour mark, he really hit the turbo button with some brutal runs and some sterling ball play for his outsides. Over 100 metres run with ball in hand and some startling play that bounced him back from the disappointment of last weekend.

Reserves:

16. Dane Coles – 7.5
On at 55 and couldn’t stop contain his glee as he went over at the 58 minute after lurking on the wing. Then scored another off a driving maul at 76. Scrum improved the instant he came on as well.

17. Pouri Rakete-Stones – 6
On at 55. Scrum improved massively after his introduction.

18. Ben May – 6
On at 26 after Lomax’s yellow card. Continued the inability to cope with Fotuaika at scrum time. Had a good run or two and lay down in a tackle for Proctor to grab a turnover. On again at 73 for more fun.

19. Liam Mitchell – 6
On at 50. Battled well and added some energy.

20. Devan Flanders – 6
On at 50. Scored a driving maul try at 71 and again the energy gave his team a boost.

21. Luke Campbell – 5.5
On at 64. Some nice distribution.

22. Danny Toala – N/A
On at 73.

23. Salesi Rayasi – N/A
On at 64. Some classy offloading at 74.

New generation incoming: 'Mark Tele'a has assessed the lay of the land'

That’s one of things I’m going to be disappointed not to see, how good his longevity would be. Take away even the type of winger he is compared to those others, it was the age factor, would coming into pro rugby, as in full time contact and strength work, injury relatable activities, some 3 or 4 years later than most, extend that typical life span of a winger through to the next World Cup?


I can’t believe he’s getting twice as much money. I think that is probably an error or an exaggeration comparing his last contract to this new one. He would surely have received a big bump up from NZR as well in a new contract. Or is the climate that volatile for everyone? I’d imagine he’d be able to get 500k+ from NZR, theres no way you need more than that to setup any amount of family, so that’s a copout for real reasons like the management and treatment.


Two years out is next year Liam (🤣), so between now and then, basically over the course of the year, I think you’d need to wane out both Reece (there’s no way someone would go that far to favour Sevu Reece) and Tele’a out and have potential RWC players starting. Who would they be.. worth looking at this year (because they may come next or the year after)?


Clarke and Leicester are you’re locks for the left wing.


Big Jim, even though they’d be looking at him and Jordie being the main #23 options for the side, could indeed get gametime on the right wing this year before being moved into 12.


Caleb is the obvious one of course. I could have him in through the French tour, more likely just in the RC squad, but definitely in by Nov if you’re ensuring your not rushing him in when he’s uncomfortable. He does appear to be that guy however, he’ll .. you know.. from the get go. But he’s gone better on the left this year.


Nareki is your main starter replacement. He’s experienced, and got the skills and team work that Tele’a and Reece don’t. I can’t see any reason why he can’t shift to the right and be their versatile player instead of Jordan. His skills are just going to last and be more relevant than Reece’s.


Next up are different footballers, like James Lowe, that need smart open minds to be appreciated. Leroy Carter has been immense coming into the professional environment of Super Rugby, from sevens, having had a few season at NPC level where I never really took note. He has a very good alround game and looks to be a top class professional and top bloke, I’d definitely feel safe with him on one with and threats in the other two spots. Also Kryen Taumoefolau looks more a League winger to me, which would need a much different plan than for Tele’a or Reece, and probably more time than the rest of this season and some NPC might give.


Then you’ve got guys I’m not so sure I’d want to see this year like, wait for it.. Fihaki (keep waiting), Stevenson, Love, Etene Nanai-Seturo, Zarn Sullivan as their replacements (some good fullback prospects in that group though). Might Jordan need to be used more at 14 if they jettison them both early like Liam suggests they will? I haven’t forgotten you if you’re still waiting, my next Dagg, the next Corey Jane for me is Jacob Ratamaitavuki-Kneepkens. Played superbly last season for a good 7-8 weeks the Landers, and solid in the skills department for the rest. Would love to be able to see if stats indeed show he has a low error rate, he could show he has the class to play both positions tactically (at a minimum) and really add to the teams counter attack threat.


Emoni Narawa is not really someone I’m that sure about anymore, after having a season at center and looking good mainly. It just feels to me like he’s not going to perfect his craft enough as a wing to AB class despite having the ability to. Certainly more productive than someone like Fihaki, in all three facets, running, kicking, and on defence. Even more than Reece if I’m honest (who appears to have already hit that barrier referenced in this article, not much he can do about it), not that that would be hard for two of them.


Looking further though, Springer I have wraps on and he should already be starting over the other two at SR level, but I don’t think Razor should do a Farrell and select him before he’s first taken his place in the Crusaders team. Further down the line it’s not worth naming prospects for at this point, next to zero chance they come through this season.


The loss of Mark in particular puts the AB’s in a bit of a pickle if you ask me.

Back in January, I got caught up in a cryptocurrency scam that really turned my life upside down. I invested a jaw-dropping $214,000 in BNB on what I thought was a legitimate crypto site. For a while, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I was excited about the returns I was expecting. But then, when I tried to withdraw my profits, everything fell apart. The scammers froze my account and demanded more money, claiming I had breached some sort of agreement. I was completely devastated and felt trapped in a nightmare. It got so overwhelming that I started having dark thoughts about ending it all. Thankfully, my family noticed I was struggling and stepped in when I finally opened up about what was happening. During one of our talks, my niece mentioned a group called (Trust Geeks Hack Expert). She had heard they helped people recover their stolen cryptocurrencies, and I was intrigued. I thought, “Could this be my saving grace?” So, I decided to reach out to them and explain my situation in detail. To my surprise, (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) was incredibly responsive and compassionate. They reassured me that they had dealt with cases like mine before and would do everything they could to help. I was a bit skeptical, but I was also desperate for a solution. Amazingly, within about three days if I remember correctly they managed to recover the entire $214,000 that I had lost! I was in shock. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. If you’re reading this and you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) enough. They are truly exceptional at what they do. Reach out for help, and don’t hesitate to contact them. (Trust Geeks Hack Expert)
