I love the sound of a haha in the morning!

will the canes do a haka?

Hello and welcome to Game 8 in the Lions tour which sees Super Rugby champions Hurricanes take on the Lions. The Canes have released 3 All Blacks into the side with Jordie Barrett, Ngani Laumape and Julian Savea all coming into an exciting backline. Meanwhile the Lions squad includes 2 from the 23 that lost to the All Blacks on Saturday, George Kruis and Leigh Halfpenny sit on the bench. Plenty to play for the Lions players, with a good performance a chance to put them in with a chance of selection for Saturday's 2nd test. A real test for both teams, kick off is in 30 mins so join us for live updates and commentary throughout.

Agreed needs to be win and dominated upfront in the pack and starve the Canes back line of possession.

Lions should control this game up front. Much stronger in the pack.

A win here would be a huge psychological boost for Saturday's game.

has all the potential to be a great game...
