Brad Cooper: Hurricanes Assistant Coach on their loss to the Crusaders, potential U-turn on Fineanganofo's UK contract

An under-strength Hurricanes team has been defeated 47-14 by the Crusaders to open Super Rugby's final round - a result that has no implications on the Hurricanes' top spot ahead of next week's playoffs. But the biggest talking point is the future of the Super Rugby's leading tryscorer Fehi Fineanganofo. The Hurricanes wing has signed to join Newcastle at the end of the season, but there is growing speculation in the UK that New Zealand Rugby may look to block his offshore move in a bid to keep the 23-year-old in New Zealand, and eligible for the All Blacks. Following the loss to the Crusaders, Adam was joined by Hurricanes assistant coach Brad Cooper. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
