Oh come on, no need to have a go at his intelligence.

Could be wrong but wasn't his pay decrease due to him not making the All Blacks?
I always thought he was a wrecking ball but didn't offer a lot else, he tried the kicking game and wasn't too bad.
His 2016 and 2017 seasons for the Canes were unreal and I'll never forget the game against the Blues in 2020 in Welly. Pretty good at Super level.
Whilst I like people standing up for themselves, he had a massive chip on his shoulder and I swear his most searched on Google was his own name, he said he was humble but was the exact opposite. He probably should have just ignored everything and put his head down a little more but what the fuck do I know.
Also always remember him having a dig at everyone not playing for their smaller unions in the NPC then signing for the club based in Paris.

But you'd probably need that nut. Not sure one would be enough for ALL the mademoiselles.

Such a cool idea by Chris Laidlaw. Canes players have been billeted out to families in Wanganui for a week before they head up to New Plymouth.

B Slater goes in again to make it 12-0. Hurricanes look to be making plenty of mistakes and their discipline is costing them.
-
Leo Carter in for the Chiefs. 17-0 kick to come.
Hohepa sounds like he’s having a horrible game. Wtf did we sign this guy.
-
Hurricanes vs Chiefs pre season update.
Chiefs take the early lead through a try to Bradley Slater.
D Flanders yellow carded in the first 6 mins.

Cynically killing the ball from a line break. He was also replaced by Iose so it was always 15 v 15.
Kirifi is continuing on his NPC form at the breakdown.
-
Canes back in it with two quick tries after the half. One to Banks and one to Flanders. Apparently Higgins set up Banks for his try beautifully with a cut out pass.
17-12 to the Chiefs.
-
Harry Godfrey goes in to even things up. 17-17
-
Looks like Godfrey at 10, hes looking great out there, pretty clear why the momentum has shifted.

That’s what I like to hear. With Love out though he’ll likely start at 15 unfortunately.

Yeah, although there's some other options at fullback, Banks, Sinkinson, so perhaps not, his form is undeniable.

TJay Clarke also plays fullback so there are options
-
Proctor making a big impact for the Canes apparently. Shock.

The Canes changed most of the team for the 2nd third and the fresh legs are helping. I don't think the Chiefs made any changes.
