    Should be hearing his intentions for next year soon now that their school season has been completed.

    @trooa He's already played Blues U18 so he's on the Blues radar (as well he should be). Meanwhile Auckland's assistant coach Tai Lavea coached against him last year so should know all about him.

    @kiwimurph Blues also had him in the U20s side in the matches earlier this year. First time they've ever picked a current schoolboy in the U20s team.

    What's MacDonald's role then, attack coach? Or perhaps the real head coach?

    Yeah I think MacDonald was called attack coach at that press conference. So something like this?

    Umaga - defence
    Coventry - fowards
    MacDonald - attack
    Halangahu - backs
    Afeaki - scrum

    What's interesting is that Coventry has all his NH assistants joining him. That puts him in a powerful position when Umaga finally gets sacked opts for an exciting new challenge in world series rugby

    @duluth UMaga will probably take over from Redman!

    @taniwharugby it would be the perfect time for him to join Mitchell and Jones wouldn't it?

    As a slight aside, I just realised "Mitchell & Jones" sounds like a great 80's comedy duo.

    Looking like a great 2019 comedy duo too.

    "which caused a nation of Englishmen to sigh "alas Mitchell & Jones""

    @mariner4life Eddie and John visit NZ could be a kids programme.

    After the first round Fukofuka and Tumua Manu look like good options for the 2019 squad. Ruru does not. Would like to see more of Jono Kitto.

    Thought Sione Mafileo had a good game.

    Reminder that Umaga gave Matt Johnson a contract ahead of Matt Vaega.

    He was. He's not next season.

    Sport
    None of Dave Ellis, Steve Jackson or Alistair Rogers re-applied for their jobs.

    Harbour's Hapakuki Moala-Liava'a could be worth a look for backup 8 and 6. He's certainly got the size. Was in NZ U20, turns 22 in November.

    Fotu Lokotui looks like a good player from Counties who could be a great backup 7

    @canes Jed Brown and Billy Harmon are off contract at the Crusaders. Sione Havili is an option too.
