Well, it won't be Tom Sanders replacing Read at 8 for the Crusaders.

@stargazer Any update on this?
You asked for an update: Lindenmuth posted a photo on his instagram in which he is wearing a Crusaders jersey, so must indeed be training with them during preseason.

@nepia Whatever he might evolve into, Scott is only 1.97-98 metres tall compared with e.g. Retallick at 2.04 and Whitelock 2.03. That's a bit problematic for a lock, but it's also a bit gangly for a blindside/No. 8.
Scott will get better as an AB, but if he evolves to a frontline player, it's hard to see that our locks will be the major strength they are right now.
For the Crusaders, Dunshea is an option at 8. He played there for the provincial Barbarians vs the Lions and was pretty impressive. Taufua can obviously play there as well - if he recovers from his broken arm in time.

Re Hoeata. It's a surprise given a conversation i had with a certain crusaders coach over a beer regarding said player. Needs must aye?

Yea, imagine just sitting around copying and pasting from social media. How lame would that be?

@mariner4life Journalism is pretty lame nowadays.

Spotted on instagram: Sean Wainui training with the Chiefs
It looks like most of the Taranaki team managed to get a Chiefs invite. O'Donnell and Ta'avao are also there.

Pennywise is saying he wants to coach super rugby now and never wanted the abs job.

@jegga haha Tui Billboard right there!
Cant see any Kiwi that sees coaching as thier career doesnt aspire to one day coach the ABs, given apparently they dont actually need much coaching so realistically it would be an easy AF gig!

@taniwharugby yeah I think the NZRU are probably at the point now where they’d invite him in for an interview just so they could tell him to fuck off to his face.
