One of the in-form players of the 2014 ITM Cup campaign, Nehe Milner-Skudder is a special rugby player. His ability to create something out of nothing is second to none and his versatility makes him an integral asset to any team he plays for. From just one season in Super Rugby for the Hurricanes, Milner-Skudder was picked in the All Blacks squad that won the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England. His electric pace and incredible step allows him to beat players and finish tries.
Fraser Armstrong left Auckland to link up with the Manawatu Turbos in 2015. The young prop played for the NZ schools and under-20 side. His consistent performances for the Turbos saw him rewarded with a Hurricanes contract in 2018.
The powerful No 8 cracked the Turbos for the first time in 2018 before a knee injury ruined his campaign. After missing the initial squad for 2019, he managed top force his way back into the team with some powerful carries in the 2019 preseason.
