Hurricanes 2023
-
Apparently, the Hurricanes are spending their last day at Rugby League Park today before they move out to the brand-new high-performance sports facility in Trentham.
The facility will also house the Wellington Phoenix and Baseball NZ.
An article from 2020 that details the move: https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/wellington-top-stories/300074981/government-announces-30m-for-upper-hutt-sports-science-facility

@Canes4life The article doesn't mention the Hurricanes, but it's reasonable to assume that this is where they're moving to. Interesting combination with high tech industries. The location will make it a bit harder for fans to go there and watch the guys train.

I've got a source who works in that facility that confirmed to me earlier this year that the Canes were shifting in soon. They would have been there earlier if it wasn't for COVID disruptions. Hopefully these facilities lead to better performance/results on the field for all teams involved.

Hopefully it will reduce the injury rates. That have been terrible in recent years for the canes. Wellington likewise except for this year. Made a huge difference

Haven't they got a full sized indoor field there? Looks big enough, so yeah not much chance at all

Here is a video from the Phoenix, these facilities look world class.

That can’t be good for the integrity of the competition.
Canes ruining super rugby circa 2023…

Anyone know who the bloke is behind Sione Halalilo on the post above?

@Canes4life Yeah, I think the ginga I saw was James Blackwell, not O'Reilly. Glad Coops is there.

Shame about O'Reilly. Team needs a good 4th Hooker. Good to see Sheck there
