It's a gamble either way. Does he get capped by the ABs where he may not end up being part of their plans going forward, or does he chuck his eggs into the England basket, where he's basically starting from scratch in a whole new environment

Context: in NZ outside of ABs he'll be on what - $200k for Super? Mabye $300k all in?

In UK he'd be on presumably double that comfortably - with the opportunity for $$$ if he makes the English squad. Financially it's a no brainer.

But I think he would have stayed if he'd been given a fair shake

@Number-10 so the team is named at 1pm NZT?????? 😃

Patrick easily.

Tele’a and Clark. Tangitau unlucky

I went the same, I'm starting to get excited about Cark's future.

Patrick was huge. This fucking season though, was a very, very hard to watch.

How can you have 95% possession and territory for 30mins and score one try?

And end up conceding 3 before the break!
