The Hurricanes will begin their 2022 Super Rugby Pacific campaign without TJ Perenara after the veteran halfback sustained a knee injury that will keep him sidelined for about a month.

Perenara was this week spotted donning a knee brace at the Hurricanes’ temporary home base in Queenstown, and head coach Jason Holland confirmed on Friday that the 78-test international had suffered an MCL injury.

“Teej [Perenara] had a really innocuous accident on Tuesday at training, took a little knock and twisted his knee. He’s going to be out for about a month or so,” Holland said.

The loss of Perenara leaves the Hurricanes without their most experienced halfback for at least the first few weeks of the new competition, which begins for the Wellington franchise against the Crusaders in Dunedin next Saturday.

Following that match, the Hurricanes then have to face the Blues, who are considered title favourites alongside the Crusaders, in Queenstown before they take on Highlanders in Dunedin and Moana Pasifika in Wellington.

Holland will be hopeful about Perenara’s chances of returning to action for his side’s bout with Moana Pasifika on March 12, but the Hurricanes boss has full faith in the squad’s other halfbacks to fill his void.

Who exactly will replace Perenara, who hasn’t played for the Hurricanes since 2020 after joining the NTT Docomo Red Hurricanes on a season-long sabbatical in Japan last year, remains to be seen, but there is no shortage of options.

Leading the charge to replace Perenara is injury returnee Jamie Booth, who has been named to start for the Hurricanes in their final pre-season match of the year against the Crusaders in Arrowtown on Saturday.

The match acts as his first for the Hurricanes since 2020 after he broke his leg badly while playing for Manawatu two years ago.

However, the nippy 27-year-old faces stern competition from others who have been drafted into the Hurricanes set-up as injury cover.

The unavailability of young halfback Cam Roigard has allowed the likes of Richard Judd, Logan Henry and Leroy Carter all to enter the fray, with the latter two both named in the reserves for the pre-season clash against the Crusaders.

“There’s still a little bit to learn tomorrow [against the Crusaders],” Holland said of who is in line to replace Perenara as the first-choice halfback for the opening weeks of the season.

“Obviously Jamie Booth is starting tomorrow and he’s been out for a period of time, so it’s his first 40 minutes back tomorrow.

“Logan Henry from Manawatu has come in and been awesome in our environment. We’ve got Richard Judd, and we’ve actually got Leroy Carter in here from sevens who has been outstanding in our environment too, so we’ve got four No 9s there.

“We’ll see what happens tomorrow and make the call then, but all really capable guys that have had a good spell of pre-season with us and really clear around what we’re trying to achieve.”

Holland confirmed the remainder of the squad’s All BlacksArdie Savea, Jordie Barrett, Dane Coles, Asafo Aumua and Tyrel Lomax – will be available for selection come round one.

Ollie Lawrence determined to show his 'true self' for England

Sometimes life gives you signs-you just got to be paying attention. One night, deep in an Uber ride, I struck up a conversation with the driver. The topic of Bitcoin came up, and he mentioned that he once lost his wallet containing $50,000.

I thought this would be the end of the story-something like regret, lessons learned, and moving on. But then he said something that stuck with me: "Thankfully, I found Lee Ultimate Hacker. They got everything back." I nodded, really interested but unconcerned. After all, I was so very careful with my wallet security. I thought, That's rough, but it could never happen to me. A week later, it happened to me. I lost the wallet holding $300,000 while overhauling my crypto storage system. In one wrong move, my funds became completely unreachable. I retraced passwords, checked backups, tried everything that normally works, but nothing worked. Panic kicked in. My mind was racing, trying to figure out my next move. And then, I remembered the Uber driver's story.

I didn't waste a moment and contacted Lee Ultimate Hacker. Right upon connecting to their team, I could feel my nerves calm down. They did not right away get to work but also asked questions, analyzed my situation, and explained how the recovery would go. It was next-level professionalism; they didn't just work on how to return my money but also how to make me understand what happened and how I could avoid it in the future. Finally, after what felt like the longest wait of my life, came the message that I had been waiting for: My wallet was recovered successfully.

Relief doesn't even begin to describe my feeling at that moment. That $300,000 wasn't just money; it was years of careful investments and strategic planning. And in an instant, it was all back where it belonged. In retrospect, I owe more than a five-star rating to that Uber driver. His story gave me a lifeline which I didn't know I needed. Lesson learned: Pay attention to those random conversations-you never know when they might save you a fortune.

Crusaders prepare for 'dangerous in all elements' Chiefs game-breaker

I’ve always been careful with my cryptocurrency, but even the most cautious investors can fall victim to cyber threats. My nightmare began when a ransomware attack locked me out of my $500,000 Bitcoin wallet. The hackers demanded payment in exchange for access, but I refused to negotiate with criminals. Desperate and running out of options, I started researching legitimate crypto recovery services, something I never thought I’d need.During my search, I came across an article about crypto recovery services that highlighted Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery as an industry leader. While I was skeptical at first, I was also desperate. Every hour that passed felt like my funds were slipping further away. Finally, I decided to take a chance and reached out to their team.From the very first call, I knew I was dealing with professionals. The team at Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery listened patiently to my situation and reassured me that I wasn’t alone,ransomware attacks were becoming increasingly common, and they had successfully helped many people recover their stolen crypto. Their confidence gave me hope.Once I provided the necessary details about my wallet and the attack, their forensic specialists got to work. Unlike the hackers, who demanded money without guarantees, Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery provided clear expectations, a transparent process, and constant updates. Their team used advanced blockchain analysis tools to trace the compromised transactions and locate vulnerabilities that could be exploited to regain access.The waiting period was nerve-wracking, but they delivered on every promise. Within a matter of days, I received the news I had been praying for—my $500,000 had been fully restored. I could barely believe it. My funds were back, and the hackers had failed.Beyond the recovery itself, Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery also educated me on preventing future attacks. They advised me on strengthening my wallet security, using cold storage, and recognizing suspicious links or downloads that could contain malware. Their insight and expertise ensured that I wouldn’t be caught off guard again.What started as a moment of complete despair ended with an incredible victory—all thanks to Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you think your crypto is gone for good, don’t lose hope. They are the real deal, and they proved that even after a ransomware attack, your assets can still be saved.
