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?

At 1st 5 I thought he was awful to start and the best he got to was adequate. He was VG at FB

Re-signed: Fraser Armstrong (2021)
I don't expect much this year. But maybe I'm too pessimistic. The biggest issue for me is I don't rate the coaches.

@winger yeah it's hard to get past the fact they can't spot Super level talent. I feel there needs to be a huge cleanout at the Canes. Some of those coaches have been there far too long, plus it wouldn't hurt bringing in coaches that have a new perspective and no favouritism towards certain players.

@canefan he only got the gig because Plumtree moved into the All Blacks. Coach by default really and now he’s got f all experience around him.
Funny that you saw and heard from CEO Avan Lee almost every week when we were doing well vs now where he’s hardly made a peep in the last year.
They seem like a bunch of tugboats behind the scenes.
