So Canes play Blues, MP and Chiefs twice. With the Highlanders away and the Crusaders at home
Looks a good draw to start
Lets just hope team is what I want. Get the team I want as discussed before and Ill feel hopeful to start the year with 6 wins. Including the blues at home. Get the team wrong and it will be a tough year

@Winger I think we’ll have the squad to go far next year, it’s whether or not Holland decides to play the right players that will determine how far we actually go.

Hope so
But also injuries. The year we won there were a few injuries but not too many. But last year was a joke. Hopefully they have a new conditioning coach on Board. Makes a big difference as Wellington is showing this year

If I had to pick a 23 on form right now it would probably look something like this:

- Aumua
- Lomax
- Sangster
- Walker-Leawere
- Delany
- Savea (c)
- Lakai
- Roigard
- Morgan
- Rayasi
- Barrett
- Umaga-Jensen
- Sullivan
- Moorby
2nd 15:
- Rakete-Stones
- Coles
- Mafileo
- Blackwell
- Bird
- Howden
- Gibson
- Flanders
- Perenara
- Cameron
- Patafilo
- Higgins
- Proctor
- Savea
- Love

Id be happy with that team. Esp the forward pack. But I'm still not sold on Sangster. Hows he going in the NPC?
edit. 2nd 15 is good for a 2nd 15 side

So, ummm, any news on Jordie Barrett's contract for 2023? Asking for a friend.
I understand he wants to stay at the Canes for as long as he's wanted. Or maybe I just imagined this
He's a bit too tall for the Canes. As a back or
evenespecially as a forward. -

Both very good aswell, there’s also Tyler Laubscher and Kirifi so plenty of depth. I’m not including Prinsep. 😂

I heard both Jordie and Lakai have been signed by the Crusaders.

@Crazy-Horse Wow imagine it….

@Canes4life like both those 15s. Good back up in a lot of positions.
Now can you do the team Holland will pick? Haha.

Interesting read on the state of Manawatu rugby.
Most of their young talent look to be shifting elsewhere. Good to see Bason locked up, between him and Tuputupu they have a couple of sound hookers going forward.
