@Chris Either one of Garden-Bachop, Smith, Marshall or McClutchie I would think.
-
@Canes4life Is Marshall not off to Japan as well its on wiki
-
-
@Stargazer Boy its messy in relation to who is still playing SR with the Japan league changing dates, hard to know who is playing where, when and for how long in 2020.
-
@Chris Yes, it must be very confusing for all players - esp for those who signed contracts before 2019 - too. I hope their agents did a good job and that their contracts literally spell out the months/years they are signed for and not something like "the 2019-2020 top league season".

Interesting listening to this interview: https://www.radiosport.co.nz/sport-news/rugby/report-beauden-barrett-will-ditch-hurricanes-for-the-blues/
Patrick McKendry sounds almost adamant the deal is done. He will look like a big d%&k if this doesn't come to fruition. Says he heard from a very reliable source that Barrett is going to the Blues, it was also backed up by two other sources.
-
@Canes4life yeah he seems pretty sure,if he’s wrong you are right he’s going to look like a right muppet and lose a lot of cred as a journalist.

We've been here before. And if history repeats, then Barrett will stay with the Canes and the Blues will sign Shaun Johnson.

I hope his source was John Kirwan.

Not sure if Shag will be happy with having four teams in the finals. Having our players playing extra games in a WC year is not ideal.
Good old Blues, helping our NZR once again
Seriously, though, travel is only a factor for the Chiefs. Everyone else should be based in NZ/AUS (barring freak results)
