    He was in Canterbury for a while. Fiery little bugger never quite broke into the Crusaders/Canterbury system.

          @Cpt-Kumera In his defence I haven’t seen him play so cant really pass judgement.

            Agree. But he lost his position as a Wellington starter so unlikely

            Although the Canes need two additional HB. One only for a year to replace Perenara. One an injury replacement. So both might only be for 12 months

              @Winger They could always call him in for injury cover to replace Booth while he recovers

                  Very promising First Five/ Fullback but I question the timing of his signing due to his age.

                    Another coup for the Canes, after Billy Procter and Julian Savea. No room for Fletcher Smith now

                      No choice. A player as promising as Ruben would be snapped up by another team.

                      Very happy with this signing. Hope he can be developed as a future 1st 5

                        Proctor was signed a few years back. But hes still only 22 so still time for him to come good. To me he's a center but needs a powerful 2nd 5 inside him. Maybe UJ at 2nd 5 might work

                            @Stargazer Would have expected Visinia, Fomai and Parsons to be snapped up also.

                              @ARHS Yep. Hopefully another franchise shows some interest, because it seems the number of Magpies at the Canes is only decreasing ... I think we were over our quota, last year.

                                @Winger Just a little odd that both long-term signings were competing for fullback berth with Wellington, and Jordie, Tiatia and Toala already play there for Canes. So, I assume Love is intended as a 10 in place of Smith

                                  @ARHS He must be a long-term project though, because he's no where near SR quality, yet.

                                    @Machpants He was very good at prem level and was showing signs at Mitre 10 level good pick up, though I really wanted McClutchie.

                                      Love is a 1st 5 playing fullback. I'm not sure why these young players need to be fast-tracked though. Give them a development contract first.

                                        @Bovidae I think to stop other teams coming in with Fulltime contracts and signing them is my guess.

                                          Canes need to find a good super rugby first 5. Not another adequate option. we've got 2 already. One who isn't even a starter at NPC level
