    A new article with the accompanying photo showing van den Hoven and Taulini. Who is that behind Taulini?

    Looks like a club team - where is the official training kit?

    @Gunner Saving it for tomorrow. 😉 No idea.

    The mystery player could be Sefo Kautai.

    I need a better picture to be sure, but I think that's Magpies TH prop Joe Apikotoa.

    @Stargazer Yeah, it's hard to see clearly. Apikotoa is tall isn't he? So is Norris for comparison.

    @Bovidae Yep, Apikotoa is really tall for a prop. Norris is 1.85m (110kg) according to his Chiefs' profile. Apikotoa is 1.91m (and approx. 120kg).

    @Stargazer As you can see from the photo Norris is not 1.85 m. He's more like 1.95 m when you see him standing next to loose forwards or locks.

    @Bovidae Yeah, might be a typo on the Chiefs' site.

    Some of the player info is definitely not correct. Otherwise Norris is a young looking 51 yr old. 🙂 Josh Lord too!

    @Bovidae 1/01/1970 must be the default setting. All new players have that as their date of birth. 😀

    Last year Guzzler was listed as a halfback. I saved a screenshot of it I'll have a dig.

    @Yeetyaah As a halfback, he wouldn't have had this "problem" 😄

    Visited Awaji island in the weekend for a Ryokan experience, hardest part was getting the shanks under that table 😂.

    A predictable decision. To me, this means that Barnes will leave after this season and McMillan will take over as the forwards coach.

    I certainly hope so

    @Stargazer If that is Apikotoa there is video footage here:

    I can also see Lisati Milo-Harris and Sekope Lopeti-Moli so they must be part of the extras. Maybe someone is at the training now to confirm.

    @Bovidae I was just there. They're both in the WTG. I have a few more points down that I'll post in a bit.

    @Bovidae Those images change way too fast for me to actually spot many individual players, except where they zoom in on them for longer. I don't like this kind of editing at all. Fortunately, a bit easier to pause the clip on instagram, but still no close-up of what could be Apikotoa.

    I needed to enlarge the video myself.

    If you pause the video 9 secs in you see him between Gatland and Roe. There is another extra player in that frame too (to the left of O'Neill).
