@Canes4life I posted a few weeks back (from the Manawatū Standard) that Jai Tamati (halfback) and Liam O’Connor (1st 5) have a NDC. They might be amongst the young players you saw. Maybe a few others from the NZ U20s too like Sam Coles.

Didn't notice Sam Coles.
Anyone know who this guy is?

@Canes4life Nic Souchon. Played for Otago, Southland and BOP and has most recently been over in the states in the MLR. Plays hooker.

Interesting they didn't bring in someone like Harry Press.

Might be the angle in the below photo but Tuifua makes Plummer look small. Apparently Tuifua is 1.91m and Plummer is 1.98m, however it definitely looks like Plummer is looking up at him.

Just thinking do the players that played for the AB XV also on extended leave like the ABs players?
Yeah none of the AB XV players are with the Canes either. Quite a few missing atm, but it will be like that for most squads.
-
@Canes4life what I find intriguing is the likes of Love and Kirifi who were in the ABs but never played does that make their rest period the same as the ABs that played. They don’t play at all for the last couple of weeks.

I understand they're entitled to four / five weeks AL and use this as an opportunity to do so.

Not just about physical rest though in fairness. Mental rest is key too... and they have been doing a ton of training.

From the Turbos SM:
The Hurricanes are getting stuck into preseason training and it has been great seeing Manawatū players outside of the main squad getting a crack.
Hurricanes wider squad - Flyn Yates, Vernon Bason
Replacement player - Joe Gavigan
National development contracted players - Liam O'Connor, Mosese Bason, Jai Tamati, Logan Wallace -

To my understanding Ruben Love was returning to NZ to have ankle surgery. Told it’s likely to just be a tidy up and shouldn’t miss the start of Super.

Hunter Morrison is training with the crusaders
This would be better on the Saders thread then wouldn’t it?

@Canes4life no that seems too logical for fern posting
