Will Harrison gets a start. Max Jorgensen rotated out of the side for the week.

With Holloway, Hanigan, Ross and Walton all out injured this looks like it could be an absolute bloodbath.

I'm not getting any hopes up - could be a cricket score

The injuries to Hanigan and Holloway here have obviously compounded the problem, but how many times has Coleman run the same lock combo two weeks in a row this season? Feels like he's chopped and changed at least one of them each week.

Interesting to see what Hunter Ward can do at #7 in what is going to be a tough game - they really need some more mobility and pilfering @7 IMO.

Interesting that Kianu Kereru-Symes is starting at hooker. He's gone from being an injury cover player in the pool to starting for Canes. Canes down 3 hookers, Raymond Tuputupu was brought in early season and now Shilo Klein has also been brought in.
For those that don't know NZR runs a pool of players that don't get picked up by Super teams, they still play for thei local clubs, but are sent around the country to train with different super teams so they ready in case of need.

Waratahs are on their fourth starting hooker, third or fourth props both sides (except for Johnson-Holmes) so are much worse off than Hurricanes. Season ending injuries to all of them, except maybe Holz.

BUT, there is no active player pool for replacements in Australia. You might have thought that setting this up would have been RA's first priority given their spoken desire to align teams more closely. Sadly not.

There was briefly during the height of covid, but it didn't last.

In the meantime 4 of the Australian sides have gone about building depth in their wider squad with post season matches and tours. Not sure why the tahs didn't see the value, but they're paying for it now.

The Tahs are hoping to have one at the end of the year.

I guess it has largely come down to financial issues. Hard to commit hundreds of thousands of dollars to an end of season tour if you're worried you won't be able to fund the next season.

I agree it would have benefited the team though.
