Hurricanes 2020

@Higgins Amen brother me too, had the Prem Reserves chasing me to play for them told them to bugger off I’ve been with the same group 5 years now.

I’m quite interested to see how Visignia goes for HB before he left he was being touted as a possible AB would be a good addition if his forms the same it was before he left.

@mikey07 just call him mitsi and be done with it.

[mikey07]

@Bones sorry what?

Hurricanes playing club rugby on 1 August, 2020, include:

Wellington
Billy Proctor (MSP)
Alex Fidow (Oriental-Rongotai)
Chase Tiatia (Hutt OBM)
Murphy Taramai (Upper Hutt Rams)

Hawke's Bay
Jonah Lowe (Clive)
I assume Danny Toala will again play for Hastings. No idea about Devan Flanders (Havelock North) and Pouri Rakete-Stones (Napier Pirates), but I assume they won't be playing.

Auckland
Salesi Rayasi (Marist)
Simon Hickey (Grammar Tech)

Manawatu
Liam Mitchell (Te Kawau)

Bay of PLenty
Kane Le’aupepe (Te Puke)

I really wonder why Julian Savea isn't playing club rugby. Unless he's the TBA on Ories' bench.

We are losing 2 wingers so there is a spot for him.
He has been outstanding for us in years gone by but absolutely no idea what he is like now, but I say give him a shot.

[canefan]

He has not good when he left. We should not pay him much if we do sign him

He was shit when he left, crap in France "I'm going to ask for a DNA test. They must have swapped him on the plane" and has done nothing since. Wingers are a young man's game, we need up and comers, not those who were once great.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah no way, he's past it now. I'd rather see them throw more time and money into keeping guys like PUJ/Rayasi/Barrett etc.

[Machpants]

Seems from the article that he's pretty much just in for a trial anyway, that's fair enough

I'm not happy with you calling a franchise a club.

[Yeetyaah]

@Nepia sorry dad

[mikey07]

@Yeetyaah No way as stated before plenty of other options out there

JGB has done well this year.

Jackson Garden-Bachop is among a handful of players off-contract at the end of the Super Rugby Aotearoa campaign.

The 25-year-old said his preference was to stay in Wellington and build on his busiest season after stepping out of Beauden Barrett’s shadow to become the team’s first-choice playmaker in 2020.

“Hopefully being here,” Garden-Bachop said. “I love it here so hopefully that will unfold in the next few weeks.”

@Winger the Blues still need a decent first five
