Hurricanes star Michael Fatialofa's blunt warning to NZ Rugby: exodus will increaseGETTY IMAGES Former Hurricanes lock Michael Fatialofa is enjoying the English scene. Former Hurricanes star Michael Fatialofa is predicting an increasing exodus of fringe All Blacks in what is an alarming message to New Zealand Rugby. Kieran Read, Ryan Crotty, Liam Squire, Ben Smith and Nehe Milner-Skudder are set to depart and Beauden Barrett, Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock could be handed sabbaticals. They're going to try and come over so I wouldn't be surprised if lots of other Kiwis head north," Fatialofa told The Rugby Paper in the UK.
