Hurricanes 2020

[Canes4life]

@Winger I'm really liking the makeup of this young team going forward, especially if we can keep the likes of IWL/Barrett/PUJ. They've all been in the Canes for a few years now aswell which makes them an experienced group.

When you take into account that academy players like Taine Plumtree have not even featured yet really shows we are starting to create some strong depth in key areas.

We really need to create some depth at First Five as I see this as our biggest worry area. We have plenty of young talent lying in wait for an opportunity so I guess we will have to wait until the NPC to see who grabs their opportunity best.

@Winger not sure Aumua is going anywhere so assume you mean exciting?

Ops. Corrected now

Rising Hurricanes star Du'Plessis Kirifi eyes All Blacks as he puts pen to paper in new long-term deal

The Hurricanes have announced the contract extension of emerging talent, Du’Plessis Kirifi, on a three-year deal.

[Yeetyaah]

Future All Black for sure, shows maturity in a young player and has good impact on the game.

@Higgins Amen brother me too, had the Prem Reserves chasing me to play for them told them to bugger off I’ve been with the same group 5 years now.

[mikey07]

I’m quite interested to see how Visignia goes for HB before he left he was being touted as a possible AB would be a good addition if his forms the same it was before he left.

[Bones]

@mikey07 just call him mitsi and be done with it.

[mikey07]

@Bones sorry what?

Hurricanes playing club rugby on 1 August, 2020, include:

Wellington
Billy Proctor (MSP)
Alex Fidow (Oriental-Rongotai)

Murphy Taramai (Upper Hutt Rams)

Hawke's Bay

I assume Danny Toala will again play for Hastings. No idea about Devan Flanders (Havelock North) and Pouri Rakete-Stones (Napier Pirates), but I assume they won't be playing.

Simon Hickey (Grammar Tech)

Manawatu
Liam Mitchell (Te Kawau)

Kane Le’aupepe (Te Puke)

I really wonder why Julian Savea isn't playing club rugby. Unless he's the TBA on Ories' bench.

We are losing 2 wingers so there is a spot for him.
He has been outstanding for us in years gone by but absolutely no idea what he is like now, but I say give him a shot.

[canefan]

He has not good when he left. We should not pay him much if we do sign him

He was shit when he left, crap in France "I'm going to ask for a DNA test. They must have swapped him on the plane" and has done nothing since. Wingers are a young man's game, we need up and comers, not those who were once great.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah no way, he's past it now. I'd rather see them throw more time and money into keeping guys like PUJ/Rayasi/Barrett etc.

[Machpants]

Seems from the article that he's pretty much just in for a trial anyway, that's fair enough

I'm not happy with you calling a franchise a club.

@Nepia sorry dad
