@KiwiMurph No. I think only the guys who've signed with French clubs have left NZ.

Interestingly Fidow gets dropped for Rakete Stones. I thought Fidow has been impressive off the bench, I don't think RS provides that same impact. Also IWL makes way for Le'aupepe. The fact that IWL has been out of favour lately makes me think he's on the move next year.

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes v Chiefs:
@Nepia They still have to get off that bench ..
I'm hoping they don't so I don't get mixed emotions.

@Canes4life Not sure IWL has been dropped. He withdrew from the Crusaders game with an injury, so maybe he hasn't recovered yet.
Edited to add that PRS adds more power to the scrum than Fidow. Having watched the Chiefs' scrum crumble against the Crusaders, that may be what they're targeting. Just guessing, of course.

@Nepia You're missing May, he's starting.

@Stargazer yeah that might be true.
