Hurricanes Secure Key Re-Signings Ahead of Super Rugby Pacific Season
On March 9, 2024, the Hurricanes secured a crucial victory over the Blues in their round three Super Rugby Pacific match at Sky Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand. The scene was captured by Getty Images, with Devan Flanders and Brayden Iose of the Hurricanes celebrating their triumph.
In a significant move, the Hurricanes have bolstered their loose forward stocks by re-signing three flankers and one prop to long-term deals extending until at least 2026. Captain Brad Shields and Hawkes Bay native Devan Flanders have both signed two-year extensions, committing to the club until 2026. Rising star number 8 Brayden Iose has secured an even lengthier three-year deal, keeping him with the Hurricanes until 2027.
Rounding out the spate of re-signings is explosive prop Pasilio Tosi, who has inked a two-year contract until the end of 2026. Tosi, a former number 8, has seamlessly transitioned to the front row and has been a regular fixture in the Hurricanes lineup this season.
“We are pleased to have secured the long-term futures of these key players,” said Hurricanes head coach Clark Laidlaw. “Their leadership and talent will be crucial as we look to maintain our competitive edge in the Super Rugby Pacific competition.”
The Hurricanes’ rugby union news continues, as the team prepares to face Moana Pasifika on Friday night, eager to bounce back from their recent loss to the Blues. With these key players locked in for the foreseeable future, the Hurricanes are well-positioned to maintain their competitive edge in the rugby union gameplay.
