@Jonty-lean Only for Ardie, I think. Taramai will not miss too many games and isn't a starter anyway. Probably enough players (either on development contracts or not) training with the Canes during preseason. Would be great to know who they are!
-
@Stargazer recognize anyone from the below yo yo test? Is far right Brayden Mitchell?, third in Jono Hickey? 6th in Trent Renata? Not too sure who that is fourth in...
-
@Canes4life I've always trouble recognising players (other than Magpies and regular starters) without seeing their faces, but the fourth looks like Jamie Booth.

there's a turn around and bend over joke here, but I'm not going to make it.
Really.

Article in RugbyPass - I think herald picks them up in a few days. Raises some interesting points, like WTF have they picked up random no-name SA midfielder for. That is NOT a 2m+lock FFS!
Ardie Savea's injury may be a major hurdle, but there's one player that will be far more difficult for the Hurricanes to replace
Despite the fact that Matt Proctor has been an underrated player over the last few years and Ardie Savea’s absence is coming at short notice, it’s the loss of playmaker Beauden Barrett that will be felt hardest by the Hurricanes in 2020.
"There’s a reason why middle-of-the-road 10s have flourished at the Highlanders, and it’s partially because Aaron Smith is capable of serving up ball on a platter, courtesy of the side’s industrious forwards."
Sopoanga - burn!

Mmmm Laumape not Nonu, and Jordie in there? Does show, apart from hooker, canes tight five has sucked for ten years

I'd definitely put Nonu in there instead of Laumape; and Andre Taylor instead of Jordie Barrett.

Shit team. Chiefs side would win by 20

@mariner4life depends if Tameifuna can last more then 4 mins, and if Nanai always injured Williams can all last a game

@mikey07 Fortunately, Rakete-Stones can play LH and TH (and hooker). Although he played at LH for the Magpies this season, I think he prefers TH. With Toby Smith and Chris Eves both gone, it will be interesting to see how much game time he'll get and at which side.

), but I meant "not recognising" from one still image like the one above.
