@mackerzzzz crazy how someone who made such an impact when he first burst onto the scene can’t get a look in. Rumour is that he’s off to Japan.

Did you see that on his Instagram post aswell? I wouldn’t blame starting player or near enough for the last 3 seasons now not even in the 23, obviously the coaching staff are showing how much they dislike players with flair.

@crucial Well it is a long travel time going through the city from Hataitai to Petone at that time on a Saturday afternoon. In reality I was dodging the almost certainty of having to shout losers jugs to a couple of mates that are Petone followers that hardly ever miss any of their games!!!!

It’s the other way around when us Wainui boys have to travel to Hataitai to play your Pressies team.

Hurricanes playing club rugby (as far as team lists are available):
Hawke's Bay
Danny Toala (Hastings)
Lolagi Visinia (Clive)Wellington
Vince Aso (Petone)
Pouri Rakete-Stones (Norths, not for his Hawke's Bay club Napier Pirate)Manawatū
Liam Mitchell (Te Kawau)Taranaki
Ricky Riccitelli (Tukapa)Auckland
Tevita Mafileo (Pakuranga)
Still no sign of Gareth Evans returning to play. I wish we had more info on his injury.
No Vaea Fifita for Wellington Axeman. Again suffering from concussion symptoms or another injury?
Does anyone know whether Atonio Walker-Leawere is any good? He's playing for Varsity (Manawatu) at LH prop. He was in the Hurricanes Under 18 squad in 2018, so still quite young. -

No idea what has happened there. He was a late replacement from the bench for the Chiefs game and the commentators said they were going to comment on the changes after the ANZAC Ceremony but never did. You never know the reasons why players do not get selected in the Canes lineup so it could be something as minor as passing wind in the team bus on the way to the ground or as major as signing to play overseas.

This won’t work 2.06m is far too tall
https://www.hurricanes.co.nz/news/article/former-all-black-dominic-bird-signs-with-hurricanes/@mikey07 And he definitely won't unseat J. Blackwell from the starting lineup. Are we looking at IWL moving to take Bryn Evan's spot in the Highlanders? At least there is infinitely more chance of him getting starts down there than there is in Wellington.

@higgins is Evans moving on? I thought he was impressive against Canes

That signing is pretty funny considering I've used Dominic Bird as a joke on more than one occasion.
I'm thinking Dominic will take the place of Liam Mitchell.
I'ts also going to be hilarious when Blackwell and Dominic partner up in the line-out.
Note: he's also signed for the Wellington lions.

Faced a challenge to unseat any of Messrs Cridge, Parsons, Evans (B), or IWL for a spot in his home province squad! Maybe they are all holding contracts for 2021 which sort of shuts out any others coming in?

Le'aupepe needs to be replaced too.
The Canes having two 2 m+ locks. Who would have thought...

You didn't need to add that, it goes without saying.

@toddy massive improvement on what we have currently. Hope we don't lose IWL because of it though, wish it was at the expense of Blackwell.

He's actually had a few starts this year so I expect you wont lose him.
Will be hilarious next year when Blackwell keeps starting over one of Bird or IWL.

@nepia this is true. Didn't realise he was from the Bay originally.
