Wasn't the colours of Canes away jersey a lot closer to Hawke's Bay colours? I thought that might have been a reason - similar when Highlanders wore their maroon away jersey in Invercargill.
@KiwiMurph If having more black in them means being closer to Hawke's Bay colours, then you're right, but I can't recall recent Canes jerseys having any white in them.
This is the away jersey they were wearing the last time in Napier. Although I didn't like the fact they were wearing away jerseys, I rated this jersey higher than the ugly home jersey.

@Stargazer Dan Kirkpatrick???? What we’re they thinking

Even you know the first two were forced on us, the older Thug Brother probably still can't find Napier on a map ...
Flanders has played two halves of games for the Canes and is already leagues better than Coman. Seriously, even you blokes didn't really think Coman was any good right?
It's like the Canes are going out of their way to rub our noses in how they don't give a shit about HB.

@Nepia It's a good thing that The Mighty Kahn had the good taste not to play for the Canes or you'd have four from Mako-land in your XV.
Poached as Eggs!!!
Yeah - Mike was born and raised here - but, not good enough to play for a team destined to become National Champions!

Kahn was our best re-poach home to the North Island from you chequebookers ever, if not him then it was another season of Chris Eaton!

Looking at the that Canes 'Magpies' 15 you can see why the Canes don't really bother picking Hawkes Bay players. That 15 wouldn't even make the semis of the NPC.

Wouldn’t you need to compare it to a “non canes” magpie team to come to that conclusion?
@Stargazer should be able to put one of those together pretty quickly. Would be interesting to see.

@Stargazer At the risk of offending @Canes4life again, FFS, the Canes really are taking the piss. It's one thing to have a senior team with barely any Magpies but an U20s team with less than the Poo even in an era where the Hawkes Bay high schools beat Wellington high schools like they're red head step sons is ludacris. Go fuck yourself Wellington Hurricanes.

@Nepia zzzzzzz.
You Bay boys are just talentless. That Hawkes Bay Canes XV is a joke. Learn how to develop your players better instead of pointing the finger at Wellington. To make matters worse you have two Wellington boys in that XV.

12 George Konia (1996)
14 Roger Randle (1996, 1997)
6 Dallas Seymour (1996) or Gordon Falcon (2000)
1 Orcades Crawford (1998)
