Hurricane Cory returning to Maidstone Park
It will be a return to home for Cory Jane.
The former All Black, who is a life member of the Upper Hutt Rams, is on the coaching staff for the Hurricanes.
Maidstone Park will host the Hurricanes pre-season clash against the Blues and the Chiefs on February 13, and Jane is looking forward to catching up with his old rugby mates.
"We're rugby mad in Upper Hutt, which is one of the many reasons I love it here so much," says Jane.
