Interesting quote from the French coach re Tuifua: “A lot of people talk, say he would like to play for the All Blacks but it’s not exactly that when you talk to him. He wants to play Super Rugby, he has set himself this objective of playing it with the Hurricanes franchise,” Calvet said in February.

New Zealand team beat FIVE Top 14 clubs to ‘most sought-after’ French prospect’s signature – report
New Zealand appear to have beaten France in the race for a highly rated U20 forward.
There is no doubt, however, that his decision to commit to the Hurricanes – should it be confirmed – is a boost to New Zealand and will harm France’s chances of selecting him going forward.

I wonder why the Canes?
Because he's based in the Canes region and has ambitions of being a Hurricane. Just a thought.

I have updated the squad list at the top of this thread to include Perofeta and Tuifua who are rumoured to be on there way to the Canes.
You can add Ere Enari to the list

Oh good, he's gone from Moana then.
Don't worry Canes fans, he'll only be 3rd choice.

Over Preston? WTF

I'd think if we've got Enari it was because we couldn't get Preston. I'd hope so anyway!
Surely there’s better halfbacks than Enari floating around.

@Canes4life Is Jordie Viljoen is still in the Canes mix for 2023 ?

Yeah if you look at the top of the thread it’s got everyone that has signed and how long for. He’s signed through until end of 2026.
