Hurricanes squad dissection

The Canes has lost their key player to the Blues, but their is no looking back for this team. They still have one of the most exciting backlines in the comp. Starting with Perenara at nine all the way to Chase Tiatia at the back. If they get the ball with even just half a inch the will exploit the space. They also have the stand out All Black of 2019 in Ardie Savea who will be a hard hitting vast running flanker. He is so explosive and that makes him hard to take to the ground, he is so strong on his feet and always keeps on fighting through the tackle. They will still be a thought team to face and will challenge for the top of the log.

Players to look out for:

Ngani Laumape: He is one of the best centers in the world at the moment . I have been playing super rugby fantasy on superbru the past few years and there was not a single time that i took this guy out of my team because of bad form. He is one of the very few inside centers that regularly scores a try, and not by hitting a gap he just runs over the defenders.

Jordie Barrett: He will be a key player for the Canes this year. I expect him to take the flyhalf position and try and replicate what his brother did for the Canes, but it is finally time for him to get out of his brothers shadow and become a Superstar player himself. I pesonally think he is a better goal kicker than Beauden and will have to see how he kicks from hand and manages the game.

Ardie Savea: Well I already started talking about him, but the form he is in at the moment is spectacular. If he can start this year in the same vein of form it would be hard finding a better flanker in the world.

Dane Coles: Although he was injured for most of the season last year he will be looking to take back his number 2 jersey in the All Blacks lineup. If he starts playing like he did in 2018 he will certainly be able to do it. THis guy is a great player to have in your team he is like an extra loose forward at the breakdown, and an extra playmaker if he gets the ball on the wing.

New signings:

Devan Flanders (Flanker), Tyrel Lomaxn (Prop), Pouri Rakete-Stones (Prop), Scott Scrafton (Lock), Murphy Taramai (Flanker), Jamie Booth (Halfback), Jonathan Taumateine (halfback), Peter Umaga-Jensen (Utility back), Kobus van Wyk (Wing).

Players that left:

Chris Eves, Toby Smith, Jeff To’omaga-Allen, Geoff Cridge, Sam Lousi, Heiden Bedwell-Curtis, Sam Henwood, Finlay Christie, Richard Judd, Beauden Barrett, Matt Proctor, Nehe Milner-Skudder, Salesi Rayasi.
