@Canes4life like both those 15s. Good back up in a lot of positions.
Now can you do the team Holland will pick? Haha.

Interesting read on the state of Manawatu rugby.
Most of their young talent look to be shifting elsewhere. Good to see Bason locked up, between him and Tuputupu they have a couple of sound hookers going forward. -
The Hurricanes U20s have been dominated by Manawatū players in recent seasons but not all stay there. You've got the Love brothers and Leo Gordon from PNBHS who moved away too.
Ben Strang is another young hooker with promise.

I see Christian Cullen's son Cole is boarding at PNBHS. Will be intersting to see how he goes as he moves towards those senior years of High School.

Fantastic news for the Canes, now let’s sign Peter Lakai aswell.

Good news indeed. Now we need Lakai and also Barrett. Then I will be happy with the key players that have already signed
Although after having a superb game vs Waikato he was a bit quiet I thought against CM

I'd say we would have heard rumours by now if Barrett was looking elsewhere. We are stacked in the midfield if Umaga-Jensen signs on aswell. We will end up with Barrett, Higgins, Umaga-Jensen, Sullivan and Proctor which ain't bad at all. We will need to make some key signings in the backfield if Barrett decides to make the permanent shift to 12.
We've got Love and Moorby who are more than capable at fullback, it's more the wings that I'm worried about. So far we have Patafilo, Rayasi, Savea and with Goosen gone, we probably need to sign 2 or 3 more wings.

@Canes4life sign Kini Naholo

Would be nice if we can get him or one of those Blues wingers. Maybe AJ Lam could replicate his brother and make the shift down.
