    @mikey07 Mayabe not, Fa'atonu Fili has been spotted doing a bit of sly training and must be in with a chance once he loses about another twenty five kgs. Incidentally where is TJ Va'a when you need him?

    Surely it's Sam Rasch's time to shine!

    @stargazer Far out talk about Bad luck for the Canes with 10 not that he’s that great but still...oh well guess Leger has a mortgage on that 10 jersey.

    It's not bad luck, it's bad decision making.

    If the Canes don't want to win another game this year. Why the coaches felt Leger was an option is a mystery. Like a lot of things these coaches so.

    It’s difficult to say for sure where Love will slot in on Friday, with Hurricanes coach Jason Holland indicating that they currently see the young playmaker as an outside back, first and foremost.

    “He’s a talented young kid who can play anywhere in the backline,” Holland said. “We see him at the moment as an outside back who can cover 10 so who knows where that will end up but at the moment that’s where we see him.

    Regular No 10 Jackson Garden-Bachop is set to have surgery on his Achilles, ruling him out for up to nine months, which means the Hurricanes have lost both of their No 10 options from their initial squad after Simon Hickey went down during the pre-season.

    Orbyn Leger will start at first five on Friday while Jordie Barrett is an option in the pivotal position, as is Taranaki’s Dan Waite, who’s been called into the squad as injury cover. Love also has experience in the role and Holland indicated that wherever the young utility slots in against the Highlanders, he’ll likely have the chance to show off his playmaking wares.

    Love himself has indicated that while he’s more comfortable wearing No 15 at this stage in his career, he’s also happy to play at flyhalf if needed.

    “I see myself more in a fullback, outside back kind of role. Going through club, I was playing first five but at the moment I’m not too hung up on where I’m at. I’m just trying to continue to develop my skills all the time and in the future, if I have to try and solidify one, then I’ll deal with that at the time. At the moment, I’m just trying to be an all-round player and be versatile, be able to go anywhere. But I like fullback personally, just because you have more time, more space.”

    The return of Dane Coles to the Hurricanes for Round 5 of Super Rugby Aotearoa has perhaps overshadowed another selection decision that could have a greater impact on the team in the long run.

    He won’t go far in the Canes having the dreaded “x-factor” not with these coaches anyway.

    @mikey07 He will need to be something stupendously good if he is to surplant the current teachers pet they have cemented in at first five.

    @mikey07 these coaches are thick so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he made a late appearance on the wing which doesn't suit his skill set.

    Great to see Beauden still celebrates a Hurricanes win.

    @sparky I don't think he's celebrating a Hurricanes win. I think he's celebrating his big little brother dominating!

    @stargazer Yes, but I've never seen him tweet like that after Scooter wins another game or title for the Crusaders.

    @canefan of course he would, he was a Canes supporter growing up aswell. That doesn’t change after playing a few games for the Blues.

    But I've just found it this year. It use to be part of the team section but not now. (part of about us which makes sense but still)

    Its not something I look at much. But tried to find it some months back (quickly) and it wasn't there and just moved on. Maybe the coaches were always part of this section but fairly sure at one point it wasn't. But is this a big issue. I thought it was interesting to see the full team behind the Canes that's all. Maybe no-one else will though
