‘Canes separates from Carlos Spencer for financial reasons

Release date: June 29, 2020

The Hurricanes have announced that former All Blacks fly half Carlos Spencer has split up as the team’s assistant coach for financial reasons.

According to 1 News, the hurricanes are counting the cost of Covid-19 and have decided to end Spencer’s coaching contract early.

The franchisee said in a statement: “Due to the financial uncertainty caused by Covid-19, we have agreed that he will terminate his contract prematurely.”

Spencer will later miss the rest of Super Rugby Aotearoa. Avan Lee, CEO of Hurricanes, said it was a difficult call.

“This is an incredibly challenging situation and we are sad to see Carlos go because he has made a huge contribution to this rugby team,” he said.

1 News believe Spencer’s departure could lead to greater responsibility for James Marshall under Canes head coach Jason Holland.

The next game of the Hurricanes will take place this weekend against the Chiefs in Hamilton, who are looking for their first win in the competition.
