Besides the All Blacks win, the other big rugby story of the weekend was Piri Weepu's defection to the Auckland Blues.

That's shocked many who expected Weepu to stay with the Wellington team for a long time yet. After all, it is his hometown, and in his 84 games for the Hurricanes he's been a real star.

But Weepu says after a difficult season in which his mates were dropped from the Hurricanes, it is time for him to go.

He will admit he'll miss many things about life in Wellington, including the riches of its coastline.

Now that the trouble makers have gone lets see if the Hurricanes can win something. I find it amazing that people are not supporting Hammett. Do you all think it is okay to get on the gas during training and playing season? Do you think it is okay for playesr to do what they want because thats what they have always done? You dont get this in Canty and would you look at that they have a fantastic record. We all have heard the rumours about the last world cup and the Wellington players. Anyone got any facts. That would shut up the critics.\ These guys are paid big money and it is their job to be in top physical shape. Go the Hurricanes!!
