@rapido For all that, the bit that confuses me the most is what does Shields bring that England are missing?
Well, that comes under the "Eddie's a bit mad".

a) love of a sheep
b) uproarious sing-songs

g) Someone who can understand EJ’s accent
h) love of another sheep

j) someone who’s played with an actual RWC winner... -
I read somewhere yesterday that both Jason Woodward and Brad Shields played for the same junior club. Not sure which? Need input from one of our Hutt Valley specialists.
Shields was a Stoke Valley boy who played prem for Petone, Jason Woodward played prem for Upper Hutt.

@toddy should've said to ask you! Anytime Snakes Gulley is mentioned it always brings back pleasant memories of the one armed prop.
I've heard of one armed drummers in shitty 80s bands but a one armed prop? Tell me more...

@bones I've played against him. Even got punched in the head by his good arm... I'll get my coat

Sounds more like a bad arm to me

Toasters?

@mn5 @Paekakboyz I've mentioned it a few times before, broken record but... the pleasant memory is of the first scrum and the ref calling them to engage, our prop yelling "he's not binding ref!". Pure gold.

Gibbes to Waikato, Gibbes to La Rochelle and not to Waikato, Gibbes to Waikato and not to La Rochelle, my goodness, they've finally made up their mind!
Jono Gibbes has been appointed the "Directeur Sportif" of La Rochelle for the next four seasons from November 2018. So it looks like he will coach Waikato first this season and then head off to France.
From what I understand from the media release, Gibbes insisted on honouring his commitment to Waikato (and resolving some family issues while in NZ).
COMMUNIQUÉ
Le Stade Rochelais est fier et heureux d’officialiser le recrutement de Jono Gibbes en tant que Directeur Sportif pour les quatre prochaines saisons.

If Gibbes signed a 2-yr contract with Ulster until the 2019/20 season and then released him on compassionate grounds to return to NZ they would be perfectly within their rights to insist he can't then sign a contract with another European club.
Yep. Not a good look from Gibbes. Refused to talk to media when the La Rochelle news leaked whilst he was at Ulster saying he was returning to NZ for family reasons.
In short, a load of bollocks.
