Hurricanes 2021

[Bovidae]

In the NZ Club Rugby thread @Canes4life posted that Taumateine was going to play Wellington club rugby last weekend.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Oh, yes, I forgot about that. I even posted it myself in this thread.

Ngani is going to France:

Time for Jordie to move into twelve?

[Canes4life]

@labcat not sure as Jordie has already said his favourite position is 15. I’d imagine Umaga-Jensen will shift in to 12 and develop a combination with Proctor at 13 goi forward.

[Crucial]

Not at all unexpected and I really feel it's a good move for him.
Very good player and will fit into a European team campaign well and make a few bucks.
Was never going to own the AB 12 jersey given his limitations and the way they play.

You really do still dream, don't you?

Your coaches will probably move JGB out one instead.

Might as well do it now.

Laumape has been inconsistent, use him off the bench in SR TT

[Canes4life]

@crucial I’d prefer a Jordie & Umaga-Jensen pairing but the obvious combo would be Umaga-Jensen-Proctor considering they kept swapping out for one another during SRA

[mikey07]

@labcat Who would you have at 15?

[mikey07]

@crucial JGB to 15 😂

Does this mean TJ is available this week?

Anyone else think the Canes will do just about everything to get TJP in the squad? Like pulling a back* (a forward would be stretching it a bit) only at the slightest hint of a (minor) injury?

* probably not a Wellington player

[Canes4life]

@stargazer 100%, they won't be spending loads of $$$ just to have him sitting in the stands.

Turns out he hasn't "done enough to wear the jersey" just yet!

I guess he can't even be the "hydration assistant" then

NewsHub just confirmed Owen Franks has signed for the Hurricanes.

[Chris B.]

TV3 just announced the Canes have signed big Owen Franks for next year.
