Hmmm, Cory Jane has only two years of coaching experience and is already promoted to a Hurricanes coaching role. I hope they have considered other candidates as well and that this is not again an internal-Wellington promotion (less than 4 months after Wellington Head Coach Chris Gibbes was appointed as Hurricanes Ass Coach).
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because he was awesome as a player, and maybe he'll remember that the Canes catchment is larger than Wellington.

@Stargazer I think there's always been quite a bit of guilt within NZR after Jane suffered the indignity of playing for the Magpies for a season. Good on them trying to make it up to him now.

Jane admits that playing for the Magpies, the team his father loves, was the making of his career ... before that he was just a bro-gan from the Hutt who was going nowhere. You're welcome Wellington, Canes and the ABs.

I'm now convinced that no supporter base in NZ can match up to the HB guys in the "full of themselves" stakes
Except maybe the Cantabs, but at least the Cantabs have some success to base it on.

Firstly, GFY!
Secondly, I went to a uni full of BoP-ians and Northlanders, us HB boys give it a decent tilt online, but can't compare with you lot IRL.
Thirdly, yes, Cantabs.

Something must have gone wrong with San Diego Legion, because they announced his signing on 30 August 2019.

@Daffy-Jaffy I reckon playing this time of the year on these low grade fields isnt the best idea, given most are likely hard AF.

That just made my blood run cold. I remember playing preseason in Nelson and the sprigs pushed up into the sole of you foot giving the meanest blisters.
