The original diagnosis looked very dodgy.

So Reggie Goodes is gone from the Hurricanes because of concussuion, a very very wise decision in my opinion, though a little sad.

^^^^^^ always sad to see a guy forced out of the game esp when they haven't reached their potential but, yes, the only choice left to him, hopefully he's got something to fall back on.

By my count there's nine past or present AB lining up for the Clan Friday night:

Ben Smith (co-captain), Waisake Naholo, Matt Faddes, Rob Thompson, Tevita Li, Lima Sopoaga, Aaron Smith, Luke Whitelock, Dillon Hunt, Liam Squire, Tom Franklin, Jackson Hemopo, Siate Tokolahi, Liam Coltman, Daniel Lienert-Brown. Reserves: Ash Dixon (co-captain), Aki Seiuli, Tyrel Lomax, Alex Ainley, Dan Pryor, Elliot Dixon, Kayne Hammington, Fletcher Smith, Tei Walden, Tevita Nabura.
