@Canerbry he wants to see at least two of you, preferably three. Your shout of course!
Some fern nostalgia - Syd Bledisloe 15 years ago I think was the last time and he did indeed shout me and the wife a bottle of wine.
I don't even recall any violence even though we discussed our opinions on various Canterbury players. I definitely remember mentioning that midget full back Ben Blair.
A most excellent pub crawl of Queenstown though.Just checked - it's exactly 15 years ago today. ABs won 23 -18.
There really is feck all happening sports wise at the moment...

@SouthernMann will have the team soon enough.

Looking forward to neaxt season also when the search for a 6 will be full on - L Jacobson/Big Red/Akira??

Based on the little hints that the ABs social media accounts sometimes give, you can expect ALB to get a start. Laumape, Hemopo, Coles and Cane probably, too. Possibly BB back at 10 and BFA back at 15.
I might be reading too much in it, though. In some respects, I hope I do.

I'll wait for an official announcement thanks

Not sure we will see Akira get another chance. The selectors obviously know the potential there and have no doubt given him lots of opportunities to either meet their grade or not. They have had him in camp and on tours to show him the true professional side but he just doesn’t seem to want it enough.
I get that the season demands have probably worked against him but these selectors have always picked attitude over ability. They will give ability a shot but unless the attitude changes its “we’ll call you” -

On subject of 6, it sounds like Squire had good hit out on Weekend with Mako$ vs. Otago.

Amazing quote: 'so Franks could go up another gear in Perth'. I can only presume they mean second!

"Against the Springboks, Mo'unga twice produced wide passes off his left hand that just aren't in Beauden Barrett's vocabulary."
What complete horseshit.

@Crucial If he wants any chance he will probably have to move away from the Blues
I’m not convinced that he isn’t part of the problem at the Blues rather than someone being hard done by.
The Blues players are coach killers. They struggle to keep to the coaches systems for 80 minutes and given Akiras abilities I would guess that quite a few moves are built around him in a gain and continuity role
He can do it well at times but seems to go missing at others. He’s not the only culprit but it’s also not like he is always following the plan.
Maybe at a franchise where everyone else does follow the script he would have no option... -
