@Bovidae Damn, that's lucky, I would have been Highlanders bound if he was signed on and fast running out of teams to support in Super rugby.

[Nepia]

@Bovidae Oh shit, forgot about that, Blues it would've been then.

[Yeetyaah]

@Jonty-lean Taukei'aho over Harris. Jacobson to 6. Karpik to bench over Sowakula. Boshier at 8.

Only one left.

[Billy Tell]

I’ll be intrigued to see how Cruden goes. He was borderline hopeless for Montpellier. Do the chiefs get a returning gem or Luke McAlister Mk II?

@Bovidae Va'ai has a reputation as being a bit of a tool so that mightnt have helped his cause

[Bovidae]

@Nogusta That surprises me. When I was at Wesley watching a game in which Vaa'i was playing in I was talking to a local Wesley supporter who was very complimentary about him, saying he had some brains not just athletic ability. He only turns 20 in Jan so plenty of time.

Just saw Alex Nankivell at K-Mart ready for pre-season. Dudes a unit.

With a scarcity of genuine second-fives around the traps, Alex is well worth watching.

[Steven Harris]

@Yeetyaah In the Mitre 10 cup advisory guide he is listed at 1.88 98kgs.

@Tim

1. Do the Chiefs have designated head on head training sessions? They must be batting above average.
2. I wish they'd f-off with this "clubs" bullshit for Super rugby.

What is it if not a club?

Franchise. They've never been clubs in the NZ sense. They've never been provinces.
