So do Canes fans reckon Jason Holland coming back is a good move or not?
I'd be interested to know if he was actually rated by the players between 2016-2023 or if was just a middling coach but nice guy who players wouldn't have a bad word to say about, which like Foster is the overriding vibe I got from him.
The biggest thing I didn't like about Holland was his selections, he was very conservative (a bit like Laidlaw), so with both of them involved I hope it doesn't prevent them from playing Love at 10 next year.

Kirifi back at the Canes a month early. Legend

@Canes4life I used to really dislike him as a player, thought he was a bit dirty and didn't have much going on, but I'm a convert now. He's got a great attitude: a great super season meant he got a taste of the top level where he didn't set the world on fire, and his response is to come back early and get training.

Yeah he’s turned into one of the best leaders in Nz rugby. I think he even admitted himself he was a bit of a ratbag when he first came onto the scene, but he’s really flourishing. Unfortunately his size means his international experience will be limited but you can’t knock his character and willingness to give everything for the teams he plays for.

I can remember Jordie saying a few years ago that Holland was one of his best /favourite coaches. If the senior players didn’t like him he wouldn’t have been contracted back in!

@Canes4life the What a Lad podcast with Dupes was exceptional … well worth a listen about chasing dreams and achieving them.

Any updates on the winning Bronco times? Big Devon looked like he could do it again he was so fresh
-
@Dancefloor Jai Tamaiti 4:20 . Think it goes without saying either of the Manawatu halfbacks will be a better fit for the 21 Jersey than Enari moving forward

I don’t go on about Proctor nearly as much as you think.
Certainly not now we know how he'd perform in a black jersey.
