Love is holding what is being dubbed 'Love Youth Rugby Camp' in Palmerston North tomorrow so I'm sure we'll get a gauge of how injured he is when he posts about it on his social.
Sounds like some sort of cult.
His name is a bit unfortunate at times.
I hope his foot gets better soon, there's still talk about BB in the other thread, we need alternatives !!! It must be Love, Love, Love.

Missed a Whitelock or Barrett trick - having 3 brothers in the backline.

Can only assume this has been influenced by those camps that NBA players often hold. Notice he's routinely inviting fans to come running with him too.

Fair play to him, he obviously wants to give back.

Just confirming what’s already been said, Love is in a moon boot. He will be getting more assessment done on Monday after his camp. I can say though that you can breathe a little easier canes fans, sounds like a minor high ankle sprain.
Edit: could be set to miss a few rounds to start the year. Also on crutches. Canes sweating on Mondays scans

Ruben Love is made of glass unfortunately.
Seems to be, this one sounds like it could be serious.

He just posted on his story saying back soon, nothing major. Let’s hope he’s right.

@Landers92 I done mine in a game last year and I was out for 6 weeks, it still hasn’t come right. Though I do have 15 years on him and is a fit guy not a “semi fit” weekend warrior

If this doesn’t get Canes fans excited about 2026, nothing will. No more injuries please.
This new social media guy is a winner.

@Canes4life I agree with James Marshall you do get the feeling it could be the time where it all comes together for the Canes

They’ve got all the pieces, if those pieces stay in one piece.

Isn't Love 25 years old? Seems to have hardly played any rugby in his professional career. And he's not the Lone Ranger which is worrying given the lack of rugby our most promising players are getting!

100%
A key issue we seem to have is that these guys just aren't being given opportunities when they are healthy, so that when the inevitable injuries strike, they end up being a year or two behind where they should be.

Love won’t be missing the season at all despite rumours posted above.
Scans have come back with no fractures/breaks but there is ligament damage. They are hoping for 4 weeks on the sideline at most.

Not the end of the world then aye. Maybe luck is finally turning for us. The first four games are all very winnable for the Canes so if he’s going to miss some of the season the first four games are the ones to miss.

Cameron will have to hold the line
