@Stargazer said in 2021 Hurricanes:
then we may indeed see Flanders take the 8 jersey.
I can't see them moving the starting AB No8. I think Flanders will start (if he starts) at 6. With Kirifu at 7. But if Kirifi needs a rest etc Savea to 7 and maybe Flanders at 8

@Number-10 That's quite a simplification of the real situation, but I can't post on here what I know. The Hurricanes had a lot to do with his choice.
If I had a kid and he wanted to play for the Canes, well first I’d slap him, then I’d tell him to sign with Wellington.
Not a nice thought having family turning out in the opposition colours. Still at least in the situation outlined above you will still retain the bragging rights over your kid as Wellington hardly ever beat Hawkes Bay.
-
@Number-10 why would you want to play for Hawke's Bay. 1. They rarely produce All Black's, 2. it's Hawke's Bay and 3. we all know their players only look good when their opposition is decimated by All Black's duty. So yeah @Nepia, slap your kid and tell him to sign with Wellington, that's the only thing he will be thanking you for when he looks back on a successful rugby career.

TBH, I'd rather remain fatherless than have a kid who plays for Wellington.
You really are taking this years Lions loss to the Magpies quite hard aren't you?

I'm happy for Hawkes Bay, they finally get a chance to hang with the cool kids.

Jordie Barrett -
@Canes4life is it 38 I thought it was only 35?
-
@Canes4life Maybe it is 38 due to COVID I’d be happy we those 3 extras...I’m still I awe why we signed Simon Hickey.
-
@Canes4life Same with Savea though that could be to try sway Ardie to resign
-
@Canes4life Love is a 1st 5 so Holland might be happy to use him as the 3rd option and select another winger.
-
@Canes4life or James Tofa another midfield option.
-
@mikey07 probably don’t need him with Aso in there aswell. Would rather us develop Lincoln so when Hickey hopefully pisses off next year we have someone with experience in that position. (Even though it will be very limited experience)
