    @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.

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

            @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.

                  Really.

                    @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.

                                  @mariner4life depends if Tameifuna can last more then 4 mins, and if Nanai always injured Williams can all last a game

                                    According to his instagram, Alex Fidow is injured. Is that still something from Mitre 10 Cup or is this a new injury?

                                      @Stargazer poor guy always seems to be injured, it must be a new one as he played in the final of the mitre 10 cup.

                                        Sucks to get injured in the off season then.
                                        Hopefully he can still work on scrummaging, if he can sort that out he will be very good, but right now he might still be a liability.
