Yeah I agree maybe the Rumour about Ben-Nicholls going to the Highlanders has some merit

I had a search when that rumour was first mentioned.. Josh Ioane's instagram comment suggests its true

[Yeetyaah]

@Duluth oh shit, good little leak that one.

Sweet the Canes need another decent 10!

@Machpants good point, who’s preseason training are we talking about..?

Nope. Josh Ioane is with the Highlanders

This from a recent article:

The All Blacks No 10 is now firmly ensconced in rugby – his deal with New Zealand Rugby and the Highlanders runs for another two years

With the Canes 2020 squad announcement just around the corner, these are the 35 players that have already been signed. Apparently squads are 38 so that probably leaves room for one more loose forward and maybe another first five option, with Marshall covering Fullback aswell. We will also need another option to cover Rayasi who is playing for the Sevens team next year.

@Machpants decent 10 or a good 10? Well we can dream can’t we?

[mikey07]

@Number-10 your kidding?

[sparky]

The return of Da Bus?

[Stargazer]

@sparky Uhm, it's Cory Jane tweeting this.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer yeah I don’t think Savea will be a Cane again, unless he’s planning to play in the midfield. Too slow for a winger now.

[Jonty lean]

@Canes4life is he the replacement for salesi rayasi

[mikey07]

@sparky how’s the Toulon manager going to allow that surprised he dosnt want a transfer fee

[mikey07]

@Canes4life he’s been playing 12 for Toulon the last 2 seasons

[Higgins]

@mikey07 The Hurricanes already have an All Black 2nd five on their books plus another more than competent 2nd five in Danny Toala has already played a couple of impressive games for them toward the end of last season. Can't see why they would import another when the position is already adequately covered.
