Hurricanes 2020

I wonder if Aumua is injured?

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life probably another bad off season.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah I see they've chosen the most midget locking combo possible.

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life I thought Plumtree was gone though? 🤔

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah I'm pretty sure it's all a ploy to ensure his son gets in there eventually.

[Yeetyaah]

Why don't the Canes just say fuck it and chuck Jordie at lock? Be as tall as the rest of them.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah didn't they use him one year in a lineout against the Crusaders?

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life possibly I can maybe recall that happening once.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah may aswell give him a shot there.

Quite ironic that our big men (Walker-Leawere / Leaupepe) are missing.

[Canes4life]

And who the f$%k is Hamilton Burr? A quick google search says he's from Scotland.

[Stargazer]

Also strange to see the Scottish Waikato lock/loosie, Hamilton Burr, in the squad. Can't remember him from the Mitre 10 Cup; did he get much game time?

Oh awesome, more foreigners taking NZers places. Also he was hard to google due to the Hamilton v Burr duel.

@Canes4life was just going to ask that

Who is Logan Crowley, Caleb Delaney and Josh Southall and Brendon Lose

No idea, but I'm willing to bet none of them are from Hawkes Bay.

[Stargazer]

Quite a few players are still missing though, not only the ABs. No Aumua, May, Fidow, Walker-Leawere, Laupepe, Evans, Prinsep, Marshall and Toala.

Burr started at 6 for the first part of the M10, scoring a try on debut vs Canterbury, and was usually in the 23.

@mikey07 The surname Crowley might be a hint to his origins. He is a decent halfback who played for Southland last year and was in the Canterbury system while at uni.

14. Kobus Van Wyk

Particularly when he has been signed as a midfield back.

Logan Crowley - a halfback, most recently playing for Southland (made his debut for Taranaki in 2017; has also been part of the Canterbury development squad, but never played Mitre 10 Cup for them)

Caleb Delaney - Waimea College product; has been in the Wellington Academy and played for Wellington U19 in 2019. Plays at lock.

Brayden Iose - Manawatu loosie; has been in the Hurricanes frame for a while (Hurricanes U20s/Dev).
