Winging in on a winger
Horrors for the Hurricanes.
They are losing at least a couple of important players for the 2025 Super Pacific Rugby comp but whilst the locking department is going to be taken care of with a couple of exciting young newcomers of substantial build, losing the young super promising Josh Moorby on the wing who is also a more than adequate fullback filler, is a big loss.
A consideration for the All Blacks, Moorby would you believe it, is chasing the big bucks in France.
But it leaves the Hurricanes shy of a real top notch wing. The Hurricanes who will immediately next season be among the favourites to win the SPR, will need to entice a quality, proven speed merchant winger from somewhere.
Of the other wings in the Hurricanes fold in 2023 apart from Salesi Rayasi none are up to a high standard and these include Kini Naholo, Ngane Punivai and Bailyn Sullivan. Dan Sinkinson did show some promise this year and I was surprised he didn't get more chances to show his abilities.
Hurricanes cannot afford to mess around. Just like this year they will need to come out guns blazing first match up in 2025 and with at least two speedy multi skilled wings.
