@mikey07 Yet another perplexing selection at 15 there from the selectors. A Morgan has only ever played at first five in the games he has played at Premier level for his club during his time in Wellington.
Maybe he is being picked after a scintillating display at 15 whilst playing at Premier Reserve level?
I imagine they're wanting to give Love experience at 10 (given he is 1 injury away from potentially starting there for the 'Canes), but are reluctant to start him there without a bit of support. So it's all about Love, and nothing to do with Morgan. Which isn't a bad life philosophy.
I don't imagine they're grooming Morgan to play fullback on a more regular basis (fingers crossed they're not, anyway).
-
@stargazer is there away to watch the highlights?
-
@stargazer my understanding is that’s he’s injured but I don’t have any further info around what injury etc. hopefully it’s not serious.

Yeah I agree with what everyone else has said Morgan is simply there because they want to use Love at 10had JGB not been injured id imagine it would be Morgan/Leger at 10 and love at 15.

Half time:
Hurricanes Hunters 45 - 0 Hurricanes U20sAre you watching it?
-
Anyone had a chance to see Love in action?
-
I would like anyone's view on the HB 1st 5 and 2nd combination
And a bit pointless at 45-0 HT though. Surely they could have set up more evenly matched teams
-
Full time: Hunters 64 Hurricanes Under20 Contenders 19

Has porn hub re-branded?
-
@canes4life Would’ve been better off doing what the Chiefs and Blues do with provinces playing each other this seems pointless.
-
@stargazer I understand the U20s having a run but think the other members of the Canes squad should be playing county cups like the Chiefs.
-
@mikey07 Yep, but the Chiefs have 4 NPC provinces; the Canes only 3. So you'd only have one game per weekend.
I don't think it's feasible to form a Heartland team from Wai-Bush, Poverty Bay, East Coast, Whanganui and Horo-Kap to make it four, and I don't think one of those provinces on their own would be good enough, even if you'd add non-playing Hurricanes from outside the catchment.
One game could still be useful though.

Could do a game of three halves. You could even do a mini tournament between HB, Manawatu, and Wellington and the Hurricane U20s. It'd be a more even competition then the Hunters game
