    @Steven-Harris

    Am I wrong, or was he also at some point a first five? He looks pretty slight for a winger, very much Dmac style

    or have I got the wrong guy?

    Will Jordan will not be going to the Highlanders. 2020 will be the least experienced Highlanders team in well over a decade. There will be an influx of players that no other franchise would have taken on, and guys who are no better the squad players will be thrust into starting roles well before they're ready.

    He played first five for CBHS and pretty sure he played first five for NZ Secondary Schools. I don't recall him playing there since he left school - not at provincial level anyway.

    Edit: google tells me I'm right - about the first bit anyway.

    Josh McKay played fullback in the NZ School games against Samoa Schools and Australia Schools, and - indeed - first five-eighth in the NZ Schools game against Australia Barbarians Schools.

    Is Samisoni Taukei'aho contracted to the Chiefs for 2020 ,(He should be)He has impressed me every time he has had a run for the Chiefs.He would be a great impact hooker off the bench ,more impact than Polwart in my opinion.If he isn't contracted he wouldn't be the worst pickup for The Blues or Highlanders.

    @KiwiMurph That's about right, anything more would have been harsh. Nice and fresh to rip into the Crusaders. 😃

    Prinsep to the blindside and Evans to no 8.

    A three week suspension will free him up nicely in time to take part in a club match against MSP on June 29. Lack of match play will surely count him out of consideration for any Hurricanes match that weekend!

    @Canes4life HOBM not playing last week, but are we expecting the team to have a different captain this week then?

    @Bones is he captain? Apparently according to sources it's the hooker. (will leave him unnamed for now).
