The Hurricanes have been dealt an injury blow on the eve of Super Rugby Aotearoa.
Star utility back Jordie Barrett is in serious doubt to square off against older brother Beauden in this weekend’s clash between the Blues and Hurricanes at Eden Park in Auckland.
The Wellington club confirmed the 23-year-old didn’t take part in training on Tuesday after sustaining a knock to his shoulder.
Barrett will monitored throughout the week leading into the grudge match against Beauden, who is expected to make his first Blues appearance since his high-profile transfer to the Auckland franchise from the Hurricanes last year.
Confirmation of Jordie’s involvement in the fixture will come on Friday, when both sides name their teams to play on Sunday.
Jordie isn’t the only All Blacks set to miss out on rugby’s return this weekend, as national skipper Sam Cane will reportedly sit out the Chiefs’ campaign-opener against the Highlanders at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on Saturday.
According to TVNZ, the Chiefs captain has been ruled out with a stiff back and will be a significant absentee from the Hamilton club’s first match in three months.
No time frame has yet been reported about a potential return for Cane.

Typical, the player in the backline that we can't afford to lose. Hopefully him not training is just the Canes keeping him in cotton wool somewhat.

@Rapido It's not just for financial reasons. It's to allow people to fully participate in community sport:
NZR Head of Professional Rugby Chris Lendrum said the move to Level 1 and the return of crowds meant kick off times would now change for the competition – now 7.05pm for Saturday games and 3.35pm for Sunday games. “With the return of community sport, we wanted to give our many fans involved in Saturday sport time to finish up their games, get ready to head out, and then across town to our venues. We’re excited to be able to provide some daytime Sunday rugby in 2020.@Stargazer Which make perfect sense as our games kick off at 2:45 so won’t really work logistically with me getting to the stadium for kick but as previously said, doesn’t help the kids though maybe I could take him to a Sunday game instead.

The Blues have capitalised on the public's keenness to make the most of their regained freedoms by discounting general admission tickets, allowing kids to attend free, organising free public transport and gaining approval for fans to flood onto the Eden Park pitch at the conclusion of the match.

It's 2020 - there should be thirty of them and the viewer should be able to select.
Obviously wishful thinking when Fox won't allow me to mute their retard commentary.

@antipodean assuming foxtel will show it...I'd take their commentary in a heart beat.

The wishful thinking these days is Fox even having rugby.
Edit: I probably should have read @Crazy-Horse's post.
