Massive opportunity now for the Canes to secure a home Grand Final and to lift the trophy in front of the best Rugby fans in the world.

@yeetyaah I don’t think any Canes fan was stoked?

@canes4life Not on the Fern, but you should have seen the comments on Hurricanes social media!
@stargazer 99% of the comments were probably from his other half defending him.

Hahahah comment of the year. There were a few screaming about how good he is and how he'll be back in the AB's. When you say he's not that great they'll be like "
BETTER THAN U " -

Massive opportunity to be as bad as the Chiefs and actually lose a game in SRTT!

Are you predicting a red card for Jordie?

Hurricanes playing club rugby on Saturday, 5 June
Wellington
Pepesana Patafilo (Tawa)
Peter Umaga-Jensen (Wainuiomata)
Danny Toala (Wellington)
Vaea Fifita (Wellington)
By the way, I've noticed that Murphy Taramai is back playing in Wellington (Upper Hutt Rams). Could that mean he'll move from North Harbour to the Wellington Lions for NPC? That's assuming he's no longer in the Hurricanes' frame.
Auckland
Lolagi Visinia (Suburbs)
Manawatu

@stargazer What they hey, how is PUJ playing club rugby (and why is Danny playing in Wellington)?
@nepia PUJ is playing club rugby because he's not with the team in Oz?
I assume Danny is playing in Wellington because there was no club rugby in Hawke's Bay, this weekend, and it looks like he's not allowed to play the preseason game on Monday, either.
Edited to add that I'm not sure why they even bother to keep him fit as he won't get game time this season anyway. Although, maybe if they lose tonight and are out of final's contention, he might play the last game.
Edited to add 2: if they lose tonight, they'll find a way to keep Toala out of next week's squad. PUJ might get game time though.
Edited to add 3: f*ck.

They were more rhetorical questions rather than literal ones.

@stargazer surprising tbh. For some reason Holland prefers the old man so I thought he'd move.
-
@stargazer I’m really surprised thought he would’ve signed with someone else I guess the gametime this year has helped.

Hurricanes playing club rugby on Sat 12 June 2021:
Almost no one? I'm waiting for the Hawke's Bay team sheets to be published, but I wonder whether they've all been given the Saturday off? I assume they'll await the results of Saturday's SR TT games before the end-of-season celebrations begin, but maybe they're all in Wellington?
Oh, and there is good news: Jamie Booth will be back playing this weekend. He's on the teamsheet for Varsity (Manawatu).

@sparky just the way the cookie crumbles I’m afraid. We had our chance to be in the final and botched it. Would have been nice but the Blues and Highlanders deserve to be there.
Onwards and upwards though. Big positive for me this year was seeing the continued development of D Flanders, Aumua starting to come into his own and dominate, and also the emergence of the Roigard/Love combination. Would like to see more of it next year but I’d assume Perenara will take the reigns when he comes back in.
Excited to see what D Bird and O Franks can bring to the table aswell, they will be invaluable to some of the younger players in the squad in 2022.
