JK had some superlative moments against Lions, despite missing a lot of minutes for various reasons. Great servant of NZ rugby.
Highlights a challenge for Hansen et al: you want to play best squad, but that does nothing for the job security of number two and, more particular, three, which leaves them vulnerable to poaching once they've reached their mid-twenties.

Toulon have signed Liam Messam on a 2-year deal, they're still in talks with Jerome Kaino : https://www.rugbyrama.fr/rugby/top-14/2017-2018/toulon-engage-messam-pour-deux-ans_sto6485028/story.shtml

That’s not good. Boudjellal still trying to buy his way to the top.

Messam is past it. Dud signing imo.

Past it in Super Rugby or ABs does not equal past it in France. FFS Joe Rok still plays.

Mostly at centre. I’ve watched him live recently, still has a wicked step but no pace.

Even with no pace he'd be quicker than most I bet.

Messam did a lot of good for NZ rugby. A good team man. But my lasting memory of him will always be going ahead of people to grab a medal at the world cup he didn't play in.
Mine is his chat with Cruden just before taking that 2nd kick to beat Ireland in 2012? to secure the perfect season. Such a cool moment, no idea what he said just looked like some much needed support at the most critical of times
