    Yeah. No doubts that it was the right choice.

    The RWC came to our college today. They said a special guest was coming but didn't say who.

    Knew it would be Dane Coles (he went to our college plus my primary)

    He was pretty awkward around some teachers hahaha, think he was a bit of a troublemaker.

    :confused: What's he got to do with the All Blacks?
     
  5. Jabba HJ Bots

    He'll probably be the allblacks hooker once Mealamu and Hore pass away
     
  6. Fiery GR Smith

    Pass away? Won't he be a bit old by then? ;)

    Seems a bit strange to have a player who wasn't involved in the RWC or the ABs yet involved in this at all tbh. :confused:

    It was logical. He went to our college. They spoke to us for about an hour (only registered sports players allowed to limit numbers) and then they went to another college which is close by. After that it went to the mall so everyone else could go have a look/ photo plus there was some blow up thing. Cory Jane was at the mall with Dane Coles.

    I think you would be a bit worried if Dane Coles was your starting hooker. He has a long way to go. Hooker is probably the only position where the All Blacks look a bit vulnerable for the future.
     
  9. Rego RS Hutchinson

    He's not your usual hooker for sure but he's been playing some really good rugby as of late. I like the looks of Barrett too.

    He seemed to be aiming for 2015 so who knows.
     
  10. Jabba HJ Bots

    He is more of a ball runner. He has a nose for the try line aswell.

    Still the best young hooker going around. Tom McCartney is probably the second best hooker.

    Still rate Hika Elliot. He can't be that old, but he's not really kicked on as well as I'd hoped.
     
  12. Rego RS Hutchinson

    26. Unlike the rest, Hika has already played for the All Blacks.
     
  13. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    I'd have picked him as younger that than, but right you are. Seems a little bit flakey at the line out, but very dynamic on the move. Typical NZ hooker of recent times in many ways.
     
  14. Fiery GR Smith

    Doesn't seem logical at all to me. He's not an All Black
     
  15. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Let's put it this way. If an All Black was to come it would of had to have been a Hurricane. So either Victor Vito, Conrad Smith or Cory Jane, obviously they couldn't make it for the whole day because like I said Cory Jane was at the mall in the afternoon.

    Also some important news for us die hard Cane's supporters....

    Drum roll please....

    Cory Jane has re-signed with the NZRU and the Hurricanes until 2014
     
  17. Fiery GR Smith

    OK...

    It's time to start pumping this thread up again.

    Personally I wouldn't mind seeing some of the young guns in the team, maybe a bit early for them, it'd just be nice to see a few. By the sounds of it Hansen is still backing his out of form seniors though. I guess a bit of balance would be good. Have the wisdom rub off.

    The likes of Aaron Smith, Andre Taylor, Beaudan Barrett, Dane Coles etc. Etc. are all up there in terms of young guns sticking out. I have no doubt we'll see a few in the International break but if not surely sometime in the near future.

    It's actually pretty exciting.

    Barrett>Cruden????
     
  20. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Hell no. Not yet anyway.
