Was talking to a mate of mine with a bit of inside knowing at the Hawke's Bay rugby union, and apparently not a single ITM player from Hawkes Bay or Manawatu (not sure about Taranaki) have yet been offered a Super 15 contract by the Hurricanes. So that means their squad will be based on the Wellington ITM squad.
I am picking the Hurricanes for the Wooden Spoon in 2012.
