and the 29-year-old
Da Fuq, how is he only 29. He's like an Islander Whitelock.
I was thinking more along the lines of those English props who looked ancient back in the day despite being early 30s at most.
I agree about Karl T though. He looks like someone’s Dad come to watch his son play for the blues.

Christie goes from strength to strength at the Blues
All Blacks and Blues halfback Finlay Christie knows an opportunity when he sees it and is reaping the benefit from returning to his home region to play DHL Super Rugby Pacific in Auckland.

@daffy-jaffy another Kents boy.
In the modern era have they produced the most ABs? Must be damn close if they aren't out in front.

@nzzp barely remember him playing at St Kents. He was stuck behind Sam Nock most of his time there and hardly got a run.
Cheers,
I googled 'most abs', and couldn't see St Kents on many lists. Weird, as it feels like they have spat out so many pro rugby players these days.

I was about to bring that up. Funny how their roles have reversed.
Christie barely played in his last two years, because Nock was the starter as a 5th former.

St Kents had players from all over the NI, and often the best from other Auckland schools for their last couple of years of schooling. That has helped.

hah, yeah! St Kents vs St Kent.
the other St Kents has 9 ABs ... but 8/10 were in the last 5-6 years.

@stargazer so no clarification, just a punishment for clouting an attacker...
SANZAAR really is useless.
-
@antipodean It's unfortunate that SANZAAR only publishes media releases and not the full decisions, like World Rugby does.
-
@stargazer young age is now a basis to reduce bans.
FML.
-
@nzzp Yeah, it's strange. I can see inexperience as a basis for reduction, but Clarke has plenty of experience, including at the highest level.
He also didn't admit to any wrongdoing (no "his acceptance of foul play" in the reasoning) and contested the allegations; in most cases that means that you get one week less reduction (so a 4 week-ban). It's not impossible that they might have considered reducing the penalty more than 50% (for example to two weeks) if he had accepted the citing.
