Eight new Hurricanes have today been announced in the squad including two players that will make the step up from the 2012 wider training group.

The new recruits include All Black Ben Franks, Wellington and New Zealand Under 20 representatives Matt Proctor and Eric Sione, Tongan halfback Samisoni Fisilau, Taranaki and last year’s wider training group members James Marshall and Blade Thomson, Wellington and former NZ Sevens player Ardie Savea, and Rey Lee-Lo from the ITM Cup Championship winning Counties Manukau team.

This year’s squad has 24 fully contracted players from 2012 in the group of 32.

Pre-season training starts Monday 10 December before the Hurricanes first competition game against the Blues at home on Saturday 23 February 2013.

The team will be once again led by Conrad Smith in their 2013 Investec Super Rugby campaign.
