Cory Jane: Hurricanes' Super Rugby Title Chances And Defusing The High Ball

Hurricanes preseason, Super Rugby Pacific playoffs, team culture and player development all come under the microscope as former All Black and current Canes assistant coach Cory Jane joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN. Cory breaks down how the Hurricanes have approached their summer, why connection and belonging inside the group matters, and how that culture held firm even when results weren’t coming. We talk about accountability within the squad, how players take ownership, and why creating a safe environment leads to better performance. There’s also a deep dive into Super Rugby realities. Cory explains why playoff rugby is a different beast, what mistakes get punished harder, and what Hurricanes need to do differently if they want to win the competition. We finish with a detailed look at high-ball contests, law interpretations, refereeing trends, and why fans may see far more kicking this season. Learn more about your ad choices.
