@Bovidae yeah, I know hes irish, im just saying that althought I agree local talent is preferred, if there weren't many people with the right level of experience available to go to Dunedin for a short term contract then I wont bag them for picking Regan
I'm talking about Will Tucker the Otago lock as cover for PPP, no idea who Brad is and a search says James has signed with the Brumbies
-
I was getting my Tuckers mixed up. I meant Will.
-
Forgot about Will. Otago seemed to favour Regan to him at times. I think Will is better suited to SR though, as Regan is on the lighter side. Good call.

I like Koroi but wouldn't have thought he was high enough up the ladder in either 10 or 15 to need cover

The fact that the Landers have only two first five-eighths in their squad may have something to do with it.
-
@Stargazer cover for the third string 10 just seems unnecessary, going to have to look if this is because of injury or sevens commitments
-
what did Josh Mckay do to not get called back as cover for Gilbert or Koroi, especially after a good NPC

Koroi is training with the All Blacks Sevens, at the moment.
See also the Highlanders squad announcement of 3 December.
***Vili Koroi will assemble with NZ sevens team in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics -
Emphasises some of the talent that had been running around for Ponsonby Rugby team in the Auckland club competition in the last 2 seasons that have moved on to Mitre 10 Cup or Super Rugby ,Freedom Vahakolo , (Otago) ( Highlanders)Johnny Cooper , (Northland)Tyrell Peita (Auckland)..along with Waimana Riedlinger Kapa (Auckland) and Soane Vikena (Auckland )( Blues) Robb Cobb ((Waikato)Joel Cobb Auckland ,..still the premier club team in NZ in my opinion ...they certainly attract the best talent ..keep an eye on Hamden Tuipulotu.., younger brother of .
-
He's (Mckay) with the Crusaders. As well as Ranger
