Hurricanes 2025
-
Such a cool idea by Chris Laidlaw. Canes players have been billeted out to families in Wanganui for a week before they head up to New Plymouth.

Hurricanes vs Chiefs pre season update.
Chiefs take the early lead through a try to Bradley Slater.
D Flanders yellow carded in the first 6 mins.
-
B Slater goes in again to make it 12-0. Hurricanes look to be making plenty of mistakes and their discipline is costing them.
-
Leo Carter in for the Chiefs. 17-0 kick to come.
Hohepa sounds like he’s having a horrible game. Wtf did we sign this guy.

Cynically killing the ball from a line break. He was also replaced by Iose so it was always 15 v 15.
Kirifi is continuing on his NPC form at the breakdown.
-
Canes back in it with two quick tries after the half. One to Banks and one to Flanders. Apparently Higgins set up Banks for his try beautifully with a cut out pass.
17-12 to the Chiefs.
-
-
Harry Godfrey goes in to even things up. 17-17
-
@WoodysRFC said in Hurricanes 2025:
Looks like Godfrey at 10, hes looking great out there, pretty clear why the momentum has shifted.
That’s what I like to hear. With Love out though he’ll likely start at 15 unfortunately.

Yeah, although there's some other options at fullback, Banks, Sinkinson, so perhaps not, his form is undeniable.

TJay Clarke also plays fullback so there are options
-
Proctor making a big impact for the Canes apparently. Shock.
-
Hohepa is still out there so Godfrey is still at 15.
-
@Canes4life Forget the numbers. Godfrey is playing 1st 5.

Haven't seen him, quiet thirty if so.
-
Xavier Numia re-commits.
-
Cashmore out for 6-10 weeks -
Assistant coach Jamie Mackintosh confirmed Cashmore had torn the medial collateral ligament in his knee and would miss between six to 10 weeks of action. “Lucas came in and was really impressive, great with the group, but unfortunately he picked up a non-contact MCL injury.
