That’s just cruel to tease me like that. Would be a dominant back row for sure.

No comment. I've already been banned enough times this month. Although the inclusion of the once apparently absolutely shit A Savea makes me chuckle.

And SBW is badly broken again. Six weeks with knee surgery. His chances of making the RWC squad are looking increasingly slim.
-
@Chester-Draws assuming they are open about it just being arthroscopy, this is not a major surgery and could well be back up and running in a couple of weeks.
As a non-elite athlete, I was back playing to my high level 4 weeks post arthroscopy.

I think badly broken is overstating it. It’s minor surgery that will sideline him for about a month.
Blues head coach Leon MacDonald said: "Whatever he decides to do and puts his mind to, he sort of makes happen. If he still wants to keep playing later on he's the sort of guy you would never write off.
"He's a pretty determined guy and this year he really wants to make the World Cup squad and be a part of that. So he's pretty driven to make sure he recovers well from this and gets back on the field." -
Coltman has signed through to 2022:
All Blacks hooker Liam Coltman re-signs with Highlanders

Which wouldn't matter much, if he had been playing regularly.
In this case it's one more month out, minimum. The newspaper said six weeks (plus the two since the injury, makes eight weeks off). Then he'll not be at full fitness for a while.
I was always in the pro-SBW camp, but it's got past ridiculous. I believe the term is "food bill".

Nathan Harris has re-signed with NZR and the Chiefs for 2020 and 2021:

@Canes4life Has Jordie already re-signed with the Canes?
-
@Canes4life Geez, Toala is only just 20 years old, has played 4 Mitre 10 Cup games, hasn't played a single SR game yet, and you already call him average? He's a huge prospect! The question is, will he get the opportunities to grow and develop as a SR player, or will he waste his time at the Canes and only watch on from the stands every week? Like a few other players ...
