    Slade McDowall as a backup to Kirifi. Hugh Blake is another option (assuming they want a no.7).

          Jeez not looking that flash next season, now the positive gives Kirifi a chance to shine. I was kinda hoping they’d have a loose forward trio of Savea Kirifi and Evans.

            @mikey07 we can swap you Tony Lamborn for Murphy Taramai and that will give a player can play at 7 at a drop

              @Steven-Harris Taramai is out for several months with a broken ankle.

              Evans can play at 7, too. Maybe Flanders could get some early game time at 8.

                        @Jonty-lean Only for Ardie, I think. Taramai will not miss too many games and isn't a starter anyway. Probably enough players (either on development contracts or not) training with the Canes during preseason. Would be great to know who they are!

                            @Canes4life I've always trouble recognising players (other than Magpies and regular starters) without seeing their faces, but the fourth looks like Jamie Booth.

                              there's a turn around and bend over joke here, but I'm not going to make it.

                                @nzzp I probably wouldn't understand the "joke" anyway ( 😉 ), but I meant "not recognising" from one still image like the one above.

                                  Article in RugbyPass - I think herald picks them up in a few days. Raises some interesting points, like WTF have they picked up random no-name SA midfielder for. That is NOT a 2m+lock FFS!

                                  https://www.rugbypass.com/news/ardie-savea-injury-just-one-more-hurdle-for-hurricanes-to-overcome-but-it-certainly-wont-be-the-toughest/

                                  "There’s a reason why middle-of-the-road 10s have flourished at the Highlanders, and it’s partially because Aaron Smith is capable of serving up ball on a platter, courtesy of the side’s industrious forwards."

                                  Sopoanga - burn!

                                      I'd definitely put Nonu in there instead of Laumape; and Andre Taylor instead of Jordie Barrett.

                                          Definitely Nonu at 12.

                                          I'd have Jane at 15 and NMS at 14.
