I thought this was going to be the Fern version of TV One News' 'Goodsorts' they run at the end of Sundays 6pm news.
instead its just about people doing what they're paid to do....
Think of the riches these brave young men have sacrificed to do a job no one wants with a pittence of a salary.

I don't actually watch full SR games until about June, so take my comments with a pinch of salt.
But it depends on what you call "unsung". But judged on last year's finals, I would have Ricciteli pegged as a future very good AB. Maybe his work this year is unsung? And I'm lumping "unsung" as "journeyman making others look good"

Largely unsung (I think @Bones has mentioned him) for the Canes so far is Proctor, he's been very accurate at 13, having a great season to date.

Yeah Riccitelli is one for the future. Definitely wasn't around 20 years ago.

Ben May is having his best season for years. BTW, what about Uhila, Blackwell, Blade Thompson, Pita Ahki, Ben Lam and Umaga-Jensen. Haven't heard of them recently ...
Loni Uhila suffered a calf strain during the game v the Chiefs (10 March; this is the same injury he suffered during the Brisbane Tens). Shouldn't be out for much longer.
Blackwell last played for the Canes Development team on 25 March against the Crusaders Knights. Don't know where he plays his club rugby, but hasn't played in the Wellington comp.
Blade Thompson dislocated his shoulder in round 1 against the Sunwolves and required surgery. Not sure for how long he's out.
Pita Ahki last played for the Canes Development team on 25 March against the Crusaders Knights. Don't know where he plays his club rugby. Didn't play in the Wellington comp the last few weeks.
Ben Lam played club rugby for Tawa last weekend.
P Umaga-Jensen has been injured for a very long time (missed both U20s camps in Dec and March). Has not returned to club rugby yet.
