@nzzp wasn't Niko Jones rumoured to be going to the Crusaders or was that just a stab in the dark?
-
@Canes4life There was a rumour on here about Jones going there.

wouldn't want to get stuck behind Akira and Hoskins, would ya?
-
@Stargazer maybe to take up Lowes spot? Was he out for the season or was it only a couple months?
@Canes4life The Canes never provided any info on Lowe's injury or for how long he was out for, but he definitely isn't out for the season. He and Flanders have been training/running together a lot during Level 3 and he looks in good shape.

That should also mean Clarke back to the Blues, Nanai-Seturo to the Chiefs and Rayasi to the Canes.
Ah, makes sense. The olympics is cooked, so we'll get them back.
Just checked the squad - we get Niko Jones as well I assume?

@Stargazer said in Super Rugby 2020:
@nzzp Isn't Jones a openside flanker?
had to go digging!
Jones, a hard running No 8 with a skill set to match, was awarded the MVP for the boy's tournament

@nzzp Even though Niko played no.8 at schoolboy level I don't think he has the size to play there at senior level. I think he'll follow his old man and move to openside.

no toeing the ball ahead against Argentina

Selected Auckland over Canterbury

So now Julian Savea is looking for a return to either the Hurricanes, another NZ franchise or at the very least the Warriors apparently.
I hope the Canes don’t go there, he is 4 years past his best and we don’t really need wingers with Salesi Rayasi coming back into the mix.
Maybe his best chance is to play for Wellington in the NPC or at the Highlanders where the 2015 WC winning back three can re-connect.

The Warriors certainly are the very least.

@nzzp
Has he missed his shot at U20s?If he or any player turns 20 this year they are out of luck. IIRC the cut-off date is Jan in the year of the tournament.

@Canes4life Jesus I hope Gats doesn't sign him either. Send all the old Hurricanes backs down south.
