@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

Isn't your coach, the Messiah of the Fern, the soon to be coach of England
, in a hoodie in every second photo?Much as I hate the Hurricanes, spit, I'm on team Hoodie if the alternative team is the Hammettuer.
Also Inoke Afeaki is Canes #1, quite handy having an A as the first letter of your surname.

I saw him handing out fliers recently. I think he’s running ( or ran ) for council ? Still looks fighting fit !
Also, hoodies are awesome. I have loads of them.

Fans from Wellington City that is. It's almost an hour closer to the tens of thousands of fans from Hawkes.

Jordi has been an academy member; the talented half back has recently returned from a successful tour in South Africa with NZ U19s and is currently on a National Development Contract (only 20 given in the country) with The Hurricanes – what amazing achievements!
Looks like Jordi could be the next cab off the rank. This is off a Turbos post.

Congratulations to our academy member Cooper Flanders on his NDC (National Development Contract - only 20 given in the country) with the Hurricanes! Coop joins Harry Godfrey and Hunter Morrison as Hawkes Bay players on NDC’s
All the best Coop, Harry and Hunter!
Cooper Flanders - loosie
Harry Godfrey - first five eighth/fullback
Hunter Morrison - lockAll three were in the NZ U19s. Morrison, like Godfrey, is a Whanganui Collegiate old boy. He's moved from Manawatū to Hawke's Bay.
