msprugby
Marist St Pats is delighted to welcome Jack O’Brien and his family to our club family. Jack is contracted to the Wellington Rugby Football Union Academy.
A second-five/first five, Jack played for the St John’s College 1st XV in Hamilton from 2020-2022. Jack was then selected in the Chiefs Under 18 Development Squad and New Zealand Barbarians Under 18 Team. He was awarded the Most Valuable Player ‘MVP’ and Players’ Player of the Year at the SJC rugby prize giving.
Most recently, Jack was named in the Hurricanes Under 20’s Development Squad for 2023 along with Chicago Doyle who assemble for camp at NZCIS on January 21.
With strong family ties to Hamilton Marist, we know Jack will feel right at home at Marist St Pats #RedMachine -

I wonder what the unspecified injury is? He was meant to play in the Black Clash but had to pull out.

@Canes4life Not 100% but looked like him out on the water in a coastguard boat with a few of his teammates.

Also one player that hasn’t been spotted in a Hurricane’s post in a while is Peter Lakai. I wonder if he’s sustained an injury that’s keeping him out if pre-season?

@Canes4life There are several players that haven't appeared in photos since the start of preseason. I wouldn't draw any conclusions from that, unless you see them in a moonboot, with crutches or watching from the side line.

Who else have you noticed being out of action?

The Canes look exceedingly more in shape than what they did in 2016 when Phil Kearns called the players fat, slow and unfit. Maybe we need to reverse the strategy because being out of shape lead to our only championship.
Maybe NZCIS need to incorporate a McDonald's in and amongst the new training base, so the boys don't look too sharp.

I think he said that after the first Brumbies game right? A fair call we got absolutely smoked that game! I remember thinking we'd blown 2015 and everything was going to shit. Turned around by the final round though!

I don't recall a year where the Canes haven't rightly been favourites.
