“I don’t know, but the numbers that get bandied around tend to be pretty accurate. There’s just no way you could compete with it in New Zealand,” Hurricanes chief executive Avan Lee told Stuff. Still, Lee said the Hurricanes and New Zealand Rugby fought hard to keep the 28-year-old who returned to some of his best form in the latter part of Super Rugby Aotearoa.
