@Crucial seems to be a thing with Kiwi wings look at them once they hit 27 they seem to lose their pace
It is amazing how significant 27 years of age is. The ones that experience the most drop off are those that rely predominantly on their pace

@Crucial seems to be a thing with Kiwi wings look at them once they hit 27 they seem to lose their pace countering that though I used to play prop dropped 20 kgs and end up on the wing in the second half of games.
I think the bigger boys lose pace faster than the leaner ones. Cory Jane didn't lose much pace until in his thirties. With the leaner guys, it seems to be injuries that slow them down. NMS is the prime example. Dagg and BFA only lost some pace, but not that dramatically.

These two were pretty slow to begin with (relatively)so didn't have much pace to lose.
Ben Lam seems to have bucked the trend of the power wings, his pace hasn't seemed to have dropped off since his mid 20s.

This. Corey's best attributes were his vision and link play, and he had a killer fend

No surprise.
Blockbusting wing Julian Savea is not returning to Wellington to play for the Hurricanes next season. Former Hurricanes outside back Cory Jane, who is renowned for being a joker, got the hopes of some fans up on Saturday.Hurricanes chief executive Avan Lee has confirmed to Stuff there was no truth to Jane's tweet, calling the Wellington assistant coach a "comedian". -

At a first quick glance it looks like there are just two first fives named JGB and Fletcher Smith (unless I have missed something obvious). Can any Hurricanes supporters with connections to heavenly bodies please start praying for some sort of devine miracle if this is the case?

@Jonty-lean No, he'll play in Japan. I saw a post on his instagram; he stepped on the plane on Sunday.
I'm pissed off about it. He'd never gone to Japan if he'd been offered a SR contract.

Jordie will get a run at this rate

@canefan God lord, just as well they are catholic so perhaps they can enlist the help of their boss who must have very high connections as the Pope must surely sit on the Board of Directors for Christianity and Co Ltd. Somehow I think we might need even higher intervention that that.

Story is that his run at 10 at the RWC excited the Canes. Don’t be surprised to see him there as first choice
