These teams they come up with are so stupid. They have no criteria other than a connection of sorts.
Players that never played for the province, players that never played for the province and the Canes at the same time, players that only played for the province after they finished at the Canes....Should be just players selected for Canes from either the province main team or age group. Only exceptions being players that are strongly associated with the province through a high number of caps -
Same as best teams/players ever, is impossibly to compare and all subjective anyway. Still, fun to discuss with mates. Not so keen on these things that the canes keep putting out tho

The Manawatu one could be a stretch even for these storytellers.

That looks like James Tucker, but I don't recognise anyone else. I thought he was still in Italy?
Verney, Aumua, Taukei'aho and McWhannell are four names I expected to be in the Chiefs team but can't have been. BTW, Allardice was on the bench for Melville today (according to the team lists).
I will try to find out from the Chiefs.

Did you find out team list for Chiefs Development side? I am very interested to know who they used

@cgrant I posted this 16 days ago. Haven't seen any update since then.

Assuming this is his own hand, I wonder how many games Fidow will miss because of this?

Had a few spare minutes and decided to check the Wellington club rugby line-ups to see which Canes' were playing yesterday (and, therefore, not/no longer injured). Although, I also found a Blues player.
Isaia Walker-Leaware, Finlay Christie (both Poneke); Peter Umaga-Jensen (Wainuiomata); Jackson Garden-Bachop, Leni Apisai (Northern Utd); Ben May (a namesake or the Canes' prop?) (OBU).

@tim Kaifa, Uluafouna, Tofilau and Taulagi are all players who have moved to Hawke's Bay this year. Only Taulagi has a full Magpies contract; the others hope to earn a spot in the Magpies squad via club rugby.
The starting line-up of that Canes Dev squad looks reasonably good, but that bench ..... quite a few Heartland players.

Interesting to see Nathan Vella called up. Does that mean he'll play his club rugby up in Wellington or continue to play for New Brighton down in Chch?
