        At a first quick glance it looks like there are just two first fives named JGB and Fletcher Smith (unless I have missed something obvious). Can any Hurricanes supporters with connections to heavenly bodies please start praying for some sort of devine miracle if this is the case?

                  @Jonty-lean No, he'll play in Japan. I saw a post on his instagram; he stepped on the plane on Sunday.

                  I'm pissed off about it. He'd never gone to Japan if he'd been offered a SR contract.

                        @canefan God lord, just as well they are catholic so perhaps they can enlist the help of their boss who must have very high connections as the Pope must surely sit on the Board of Directors for Christianity and Co Ltd. Somehow I think we might need even higher intervention that that.

                          Story is that his run at 10 at the RWC excited the Canes. Don’t be surprised to see him there as first choice

                            @Crucial interview was all about him at 15, then the team list showed him as a midfield back. But had no outside backs listed at all lol

                            Looking at the PDF of all the teams, only 4 outside backs listed (and one's in the 7s), so there is Def some flexibility in the squad

                              Weird to see Devan Flanders listed as a lock. He can play lock, but his best position is 8, followed by 6.

                                Yeah a lot of talk on the breakdown about how most players cover lots of positions now

                                    @Machpants to be honest ,I am on the opposite view, for all we know this South African player could work out in the same way both Tyler Ardron for the chiefs and Nemani Naholo did for the Crusaders...there selections once people saw what they bought to the table were never questioned..
                                    I just think adds a bit of a point of difference to the comp..there will be plenty of young players that will be in wider training groups , and you bet they are only an injury away from joining the big time.

                                          @mikey07 I would imagine Plumtree would have had a hand in this selection, but also imagine he would have done some due diligence on this guys selection...hey if this guy has a stellar season , everyone will be lauding this selection..🤞
