Former All Blacks winger and Hurricanes assistant coach Cory Jane has worked up close with fullback Ruben Love since he joined the Hurricanes system coming out of school.

The latest All Black call-up made his Hurricanes debut back in 2021 after the club’s depth at No 10 was tested with injuries. Love slotted into the position and became a rookie sensation, starring in the unfamiliar role.

He has since assumed the fullback position at the club after Jordie Barrett’s permanent move to the midfield and established himself in 2024 as one of the best No 15s in the country.

The former All Black winger shared how he was impressed with Love’s drive and commitment to get better since arriving at the club.

“Just happy for Rubes, likewas a month or so ago, for for Billy, just seeing them over the last couple of years, and how much they really wanted, and especially Rubes,” Jane told SENZ Radio’s Scotty & Izzy show.

“I remember a few years ago, when I first came into the Canes and you know, he’d want to learn something, I think I told him about the high ball technique, and he went home, and I think he practiced about 300 in his backyard. And that’s the type of person he is.

“I had to sit down with him, and I said, mate, you know, it’s all right if you’re passing the ball or kicking the ball against the wall at home, but going home and jumping 300 times on the high ball, your knees will blow out by age 22.

“But that just shows when he learns a technique or something that he can add to his game, he really, really works at it, and he’s done that this year in different aspects of his game.

“I’m excited or happy for him to be in the All Blacks, and I can’t wait for his opportunity to get out of the field.”

On whether Love can cover 10, Jane revealed that the long-term goal for Love is to have a crack at the position with the All Blacks.

“He trained there a little bit. I think he only played maybe 15 minutes or so at the back end of one game,” Jane explained.

“He wants to get there. I just think you know, the normal progression for most 10s, Beaudey [Barrett] did the same thing… unless you’re Dan Carter or Andrew Mehrtens, but even Carter started at 12.

“So from different positions, they work their way into that into that spot [at 10]. So there’s no doubt he’ll get there, butcan’t really see it [yet] having a D-Mac or a Beauden somewhere floating around in in the team.

“So maybe at a pinch at the end of a Test match of if he’s needed, but I think his time will come at fullback.”

I witnessed Ruben love play at 10 in early outings for the canes and right there I saw another sensation in the making and to hav a mentor in Jane by his side is just like paying if forward. Can’t wait to see him in the 10 for the ABs. “Ahhhh Ritchie who”

Interesting. The canes need a playmaker in the midfield with jordie heading to Leinster next year. Wonder if they’ll give him a crack at 10. Has to be him or young Harry godfrey

Ruben Love is primed to play a huge role in the All Blacks moving forward especially post rwc 2027. With the slim picking of quality young 10s in the NZ pipeline it is reassuring to hear that an elite talent such as Love keeping the position on his radar.

No doubt he’ll benefit greatly from his exposure to the likes of Beaudy, Dmac and Will Jordan in the ABs environment. My prediction is that come rwc 2027, he has the talent to push for the starting 15 jersey with Will Jordan potentially moving back to the wing - assuming Beaudy maintains his impact role off of the bench. I believe his playmaking combined with elite athleticism could really elevate the potency of this already lethal ABs backline.

Les clubs anglais sont-ils les seuls à blâmer pour leurs performances en Champions Cup ?

As a thriller writer, I'm pleased to have crafted suspense for high-stakes disasters, kidnappings, computer hacking break-ins, and political scandals. Nothing in my writer's arsenal had prepared me, however, for the chilling real-world danger of losing my $290,000 hoard of Bitcoin savings. This horror was not to play out in some dimly lit alley or foggy backroom but in my kitchen, fueled by writer's block and Red Bull. I'd been up for 36 hours, writing the denouement of my new book, a crypto heist thriller, ironically enough, when tragedy struck. Bleary-eyed, I attempted to organize my digital files, but in my sleep-deprived state, I reformatted the USB drive containing my private keys in error. I felt as though I'd written myself into a plot twist with no escape. Panic was more crippling to me than any looming deadline. I tried everything, data recovery programs, techie friends, even making a final, desperate call to the manufacturer, whose support person, bless her heart, was more concerned about my hydration status than my financial ruin. I was about to pen my own doleful ending when a midnight Google splash led me to (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT). They'd been featured in a technology blog's "Real-Life Mysteries" series—a fitting discovery for a suspense-addicted author. The tale described their work in recovering funds from ransomware attacks and lost hardware. It was the origin story of a band of cyber superheroes.

I shouted out, anticipating a robo-support reply. But instead, I received a human being, a calming, smart voice that informed me I was not the first writer to make a catastrophe of a blunder (though I might win an award for most sleep-deprived). Their computer forensics division handled my case like a detective division closing a cold case. They took me through each step using words even a writer could understand. They used advanced data reconstruction techniques to retrieve my keys from the wiped drive, an endeavor they compared to un-erasing a book manuscript burned to ashes. Ten nail-sucking days passed, and I opened my email inbox to read: "Funds Recovered." A rush of relief swept over me like the greatest plot twist. My story did have a happy ending, after all. I now backup everything like a mad villain, but I sleep soundly too, knowing (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT) is out there, the little-known heroes of fiction and real life.

Lyon rejoint le Racing 92 en quart de finale de la Challenge Cup

I can rewire a human brain, course through the most sensitive neural pathways, and restore life with steady hands and a sharp scalpel. But it would appear none of those prepared me for the horror of a hardware wallet that had decided it wanted to self-destruct. It had been years since my Ledger device had sat comfortably in my drawer, unvexed and pristine, like a relic from my earlier Bitcoin investment days. Then came the fateful evening when I decided to switch it on just to check on my stash. That is when I was greeted by an error message so incomprehensible that it could as well have been written in ancient hieroglyphics. At first, I kept calm. I had been in life-and-death situations before, so surely, I could troubleshoot a problem with my wallet. Rebooting? Nothing. Firmware reset? Even worse. With every attempt, my precious $680,000 worth of Bitcoin seemed to slip further from my grasp. The real panic set in when I realized that I had stored my recovery phrase somewhere "safe"-so safe that even I couldn't remember where it was. Hours of frantic searching, multiple YouTube tutorials, and a last-ditch effort to reach out to Ledger support resulted in one grim conclusion: "Your funds may be irretrievable." As a neurosurgeon, I’m used to bad news—but this? Unacceptable. That is when I discovered TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. A little skeptical I was- if they couldn't help me, a manufacturer of the device, then how would anyone else? I had nothing to lose. The moment I reached out to them, I knew I had done the right thing: I was professional, transparent, and confident that they could recover my lost Bitcoin. They performed some kind of digital wallet emergency surgery, getting everything back in six days. Through what can only be described as magic, by way of forensic techniques, they bypassed corruption and extracted my private keys and every Satoshi, to boot. If it stopped there, that would've been great; then they walked me through how to properly secure my assets going forward more "too safe to find" backups. I may be the expert in the operating room, but when it comes to resuscitating a dead crypto wallet, TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY is your team on call. Cold storage has failed; don't try to self-operate, just get the pros in before your Bitcoin flatlines.
