Right some Christmas cheer for all us Canes fans have it from a good source that Dominic Bird has torn some ligaments and is out for the 2022 season sorry I can’t tell you we’re abouts the ligaments are just that he’s gone….Merry Christmas Canes fans.
That's a shocker - Bird would've really added that much needed grunt to our pack at scrum time... Canes have always had plenty of good loosies, but the tight-five is where you control the game from, that area has always been our Achilles heel.
Reed Prinsep?
A giant amongst alternatively tall people.

Anyway fellas, we slowly getting towards start of season, the best time for us Cane's men/women, we get to dear to hope. Our last few weeks before reality sets in . Anyway interesting to see where otheres think our strengths and weaknesses are this year.
For me I worry obviously about 10-12-13 in backline as at this stage can't think of too many in squad that will dominate in those positions (I live in hope that Umaga-Jensen amy fullfill promise), and will our tighties be real competitive? -

At least give it a shot....

@darren those two would be hard to contain. My only worry is that we don't really have a decent fullback if Jordie moves into the midfield.
I think I'd like us to start the year with Walden in the 12 jersey, PUJ at 13 and Jordie at 15, with Rayasi and Goosen on the wings and Perenara/Love starting in the halves.

This is unlikely to happen as Billy Proctor has acquired the J. Blackwell and R. Prinsep almost undropable status.

I've been a big fan of Caleb Delany, massive work-rate and seems highly intelligent which is always a bonus when it comes to on field leadership. The Canes have secured two pretty decent young 6s in Howden and Delany so Prinsep (to the delight of @Higgins) might not keep his position for much longer.
The Canes have posted a good write-up on Delany here - https://www.hurricanes.co.nz/news/article/caleb-delany-juggling-architecture-study-and-full-time-super-rugby/

I a real fan of Devan Flanders, and with Ardie at 8 would see him at 6, also think Iose from Manawatu is pretty handy, so we got some alright players there.
