Great to see Kianu Kereru-Symes in that squad list.

This tho 14 Kobus Van Wyk :face_vomiting:

[Canes4life]

I wonder if Aumua is injured?

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life probably another bad off season.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah I see they've chosen the most midget locking combo possible.

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life I thought Plumtree was gone though?

@Yeetyaah 

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah I'm pretty sure it's all a ploy to ensure his son gets in there eventually.

[Yeetyaah]

Why don't the Canes just say fuck it and chuck Jordie at lock? Be as tall as the rest of them.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah didn't they use him one year in a lineout against the Crusaders?

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life possibly I can maybe recall that happening once.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah may aswell give him a shot there.

Quite ironic that our big men (Walker-Leawere / Leaupepe) are missing.

[Canes4life]

And who the f$%k is Hamilton Burr? A quick google search says he's from Scotland.

[Stargazer]

Also strange to see the Scottish Waikato lock/loosie, Hamilton Burr, in the squad. Can't remember him from the Mitre 10 Cup; did he get much game time?

Oh awesome, more foreigners taking NZers places. Also he was hard to google due to the Hamilton v Burr duel.

[mikey07]

@Canes4life was just going to ask that

[mikey07]

Who is Logan Crowley, Caleb Delaney and Josh Southall and Brendon Lose

No idea, but I'm willing to bet none of them are from Hawkes Bay.

[Stargazer]

Quite a few players are still missing though, not only the ABs. No Aumua, May, Fidow, Walker-Leawere, Laupepe, Evans, Prinsep, Marshall and Toala.

Burr started at 6 for the first part of the M10, scoring a try on debut vs Canterbury, and was usually in the 23.

@mikey07 The surname Crowley might be a hint to his origins. He is a decent halfback who played for Southland last year and was in the Canterbury system while at uni.

14. Kobus Van Wyk

Particularly when he has been signed as a midfield back.
