@Crucial I was just thinking...sometimes I do that how do you reckon Jason Robertson would go in a Canes jersey he looked pretty handy against Wellington in the time he was on?

I think I mentioned during NPC that I was quite impressed with him. Nothing flash but does the basics well and is a very good kicker from both hand and tee.
He may not have set the world alight as a young fella but has developed nicely as a capable pivot.
I don’t think he’d be out of his depth at Super level. (As a reserve) -
So who will they bring in? I hope we don’t persist with Orbyn Leger. Lincoln McClutchie might finally get a gig but I doubt it.

Leger at least brings some Super rugby experience to the job.

With Prinsep down with a calf injury that will see him miss at least the first round of Super Rugby, the Magpie was named to start in the Hurricanes final pre-season fixture against the Highlanders in Alexandra today.

Went to see a pic of his nose from his IG, turns out he has been hitting the gym hard in the off season.

@stargazer I thought he looked decent last year until his opportunities dried up. As for the canes? Not going to be pretty

I think a problem for the Canes is that TJP was a dominant figure in their backline, which hid the many weaknesses of JGB last year. Now, the halfbacks also need to step up and provide some direction.
-
@bovidae the Canes have a fairly solid squad other than their halves so JGB simply needs to step up or the Canes could face a fairly miserable 2021 campaign.

Any injury updates for round 1?
I saw Peter Umaga-Jensen had his first child so that explains why he wasn't in Alexandra.
I assume Coles will slot back into the 23, whether that be straight into the starting side or in the way of easing him back in off the bench.
Not sure why we haven't seen the likes of Walker-Leawere, Evans and Leaupepe yet? I assume they are all injured?
Anyone have the inside word?
