Canterbury 2020

The biggest news is two players have been selected from Marist Albion, for the first time in any kind of wider squad for God knows how long. OK, Mataele hasn't quite come up through the grades at M-A but presumably Mellow has. It'd be much funnier if Mellow was playing for New Brighton.

@Bovidae This is only for the Heartland-Ranfurly Shield defence. Maybe the rest of the players will be added later? Or, indeed, injured.
Fergus Burke is injured, I am not sure of what the time frame for his recovery is.
Rueben Thorne did say in a podcast they would not select some SR players as well as Players selected in North v South game,but look at some other players for this game towards looking to fill some squad Places. -

@Chris By the way, it's good to see that Cullen Grace is already on that list. May as well chuck him into the "South" squad if he goes well this Friday.
Yeah great to see him recovered.
I hope he gets added to that South squad. -

@shark Lock Will Tucker briefly trained with the highlanders but he's now signed with otago for the mitre 10
Thanks for that. He's another who's absence I was going to question.
I'm starting to wonder - tongue semi-firmly in cheek - if there's some kind of anti-Catholic sentiment at the CRFU?!
It's literally been years since anyone from Marist Albion had made a senior Canterbury squad, until yesterday, and pretty much every decent player to come out of St Bedes over the last few years has had to move elsewhere for opportunity...Alaimalo, Lentjes, the Tucker brothers, Elliot Dixon, Michael Leitch....can I claim Josh Navidi??

@shark You could claim Jamayne Isaako as well or does playing league not count?

@shark Hugh Renton posted on his instagram that he's moving to Ta$man. He included a
in his post, so I assume he'll play for the Mako, this year.FFS @Chris-B does your chequebook have no boundaries?
