Hurricanes 2020
-
Reports coming through that BB will sign a 4 year deal to play for the Blues. Rumours still suggest JB will take his talents to the Saders next season. Canes about to head into rebuild mode
@canefan classic Hurricanes, we will finally have a decent pack next year but now we don't have the backs.
-
How long is TJ signed for?
Canes should ask TJ who he wants outside him.

Not as big a loss as when Conrad and Ma'a left IMHO.
FOH
It's alot easier to replace a centre than a 1st five especially in a team that depend on 5-6 star players to be successful & generally lacks quality across their squad
Saying that Canes will have a much better squad in 2020 but they won't sniff beating the Crusaders or Jaguares in all likelihood

@Jaguares4real lol the only reason the Jaguares made the final was because of the conference system, Crusaders and Hurricanes are clearly the two best teams and have been for the last four years.

Speaking of that, is it the same system for next year or are there changes?

Harsh reality is the Canes played Jaguares and Crusaders four times this season & lost all four games
In three of those games the Canes got the crap beaten out of them
This year has been one of the stronger seasons of SR in recent times
Before that the comp has crap teams like Cheetahs Kings Force allow teams to accumulate easy wins i.e. Lions
Moreover the Conference system is a pain in the arse for Jaguares
They have to play more games in SA where they've struggled since day 1Jaguares prefer playing AUS & NZ teams with their weaker packs plus they tour well They've won their last 6 games in AUS and 3 out of 4 in NZ
That's why i'm looking forward to 2021 when the format will suit themI believe the Higlanders have a terrible recent record in SA to give an example The only NZ sides who tour well which in NZ are Crusaders & Canes

@Jaguares4real read into that what you like but we didn't have Beaudy etc when the Jaguares came to town. If the Canes and Jaguares would have met in a Semi, the Canes would have been heavy favourites.

Beady would have made little difference Heck 2005 Dan Carter wouldn't have saved the Canes Jaguares pack dominated the Canes period
I'd also fancy Jaguares to definitely beat the Canes in Buenos Aires
Brumbies walked into a buzz saw and got carved upThey would also have a good chance of winning again in the Cake Tin
Jaguares were 1st non NZ team to win in Wellington since 2015
Canes don't have a dominant scrum, nor is their line out particularly flash
Jaguares can handle NZ packs Crusaders are the one exception & that's largely because of their scrum

@Jaguares4real we will see next year when Lomax comes in. The Canes are losing no one in their forward pack and will only be stronger next year with our young guys being that much more experienced.
Are the Jaguares losing anyone of note?

Pablo Matera is off to France. He'll be a huge blow, captain and best player.

The flow-on effect from BB being available to play in 2020 is that one of Black or Perofeta might be available to the Canes.

bugger, maybe my favourite player at the moment

@Bovidae So who are the first fives available to the Canes? Perofeta, Black, Cameron?
I think all the Blues guys have contracts. With Barrett arriving halfway through next year they won't want to release any without signing another option

Matera has been the best blindside flanker in world rugby last 2 years and there's no one close to his level TBH
Matera will be a significant loss but Jaguares would manage just fine
There're numerous options in Backrow: youngsters who've played for U20 Pumitas side - couple of absolute units in the backrow to select
Kramer will step up as will Lezana Bruni is a solid player
Gorrisson is another guy who's decent as well but he's more of a jackeller
