    What's the point in a pre-season game when the majority of those players won't even be squad players when the season kicks off properly? Odd.

    7 of the starting 15. Seems odd but I guess they just want to see what they look like at this level. Likely to only get half a game and then the eligible players get a run in the 2nd half

    Hurricanes team to play the Blues:
    2 Leif Schwenke 28 yr old Manawatu hooker
    3 Pasilio Tosi Ops Full time contract
    5 Josh Taula Young Manawatu lock at 2.03m and 114kg, from Canterbury.
    11 Solomone Naiduki ???
    12 Matt Whaanga The 24-year-old is looking forward to being back in the Southland colours again
    13 Kyle Brown 7/7/2020 Kyle Brown – Feilding High School.
    15 Harry Godfrey Young HB back

    So 6 not in the squad. I can understand bringing in a hooker but the other positions,

    Some regular players could be injured or carrying niggles so aren't available. Note that Sullivan, PUJ and Proctor aren't listed so they are short on midfielders.

    Legend.

    Indeed. I'm sure he'll be playing club rugby on the wing for a few years yet.

    I'm not sure he'll be apart of the WC squad but it will be cool to have him play for the Wellington Lions for one more campaign to help defend the Shield.

    His body seems to be close to finished for top level rugby now. But hope he is Ok for one last super rugby (and maybe the ABs). But Aumua is the future so need to select him as the number 1 this year, Coles as his backup. Hnadle Coles carefully so he is available for the finals

    PUJ is out for some time I think. So makes sense to try a few midfielders in these games

    I area they haven't is the back row. Plenty of players here

    11 Solomone Naiduki ??? League player 22y/o.

    Three clubs who could sign NRL winger looking for new side including Super League team

    Three clubs who could sign NRL winger looking for new side including Super League team

    2023 may have already started by there are 20 players down under still looking for a new club. This leaves the door open for Super League and Championship sides to make a move on those stars still looking for security at the start of the year. One of those players is former Parramatta Eels winger...

    If he is he's his older brother that plays for Hawkes Bay. Hes had one start in 2021 (3 games as a replacement). Only 1 replacement game in 2022

    Aha cheers. I was hoping it was indeed a local player.

    Yeah Kienan is Riley's older bro but definitely isn't the better rugby player.

    @Canes4life Depth, for when injury strikes?

    I guess, hopefully we get to see the more realistic starting Hurricanes side next week against the Crusaders.

    Adding in Billy Proctor aswell as he'll be pushing for a starting berth.

    Completely forgot about him. If he's fit he will likely start. Maybe with Higgins if Sullivan is out too.

    It adds a bit of interest for me this year with 2 young Wellington guns available. And to see if these new training facilities make a difference. Did Wellington move as well before last years NPC?

    Nah they were still in Newtown I believe; the Phoenix men's side were the first to make the shift followed by the Canes at the back-end of last year.

    @Winger Josh Taula is an interesting selection , hes is one seriously big human being , saw him playing for the Turbos against the Taniwha last year , is a very physical player could be a great long term addition to the Hurricanes.

    Leif Schwenke is an Auckland club rugby veteran. Good to see him getting a run.
