@gt12 IIRC, the Blues were after him a couple of years ago. He should make the move.
He definitiely should, but it's pretty crowded at the blues (assuming Ioane is at center and RTS sticks around). With Evans coming, I would say the Landers would be best.
I'd like him a the Chiefs but that depends on whether ALB and Nankivell will be sticking around - Nank feels like the sort of player who must be close to cashing in overseas as AB jersey feels a step too far with those ahead of him.

Probably not a team to join if you want to be in a strong XV. Better chance to make ABs from other squads.
Yes and no. It doesn't seem to be hurting Fakatava chances. I'll say this - he'd had a much better chance that playing club rugby in Wellington. Either way, I think we'll see TUG in a black jersey before PUJ.

@gt12 it's a complete mystery, the only thing Holland says on the matter is he loves the impact he brings from the bench. We know nothing otherwise.
I too wish our journos would probe this more, I mean he made the ABs, and played great, then since then he's been in & out of the team for 2 seasons.
The thing that's hard to fathom is that he's always excellent when he's on the field.
If Holland wasn't a complete dipshit and had any foresight we could develop a midfield of PUJ & Sullivan for the next 5 years. Sigh.

With only one team not named yet. Is there a Hurricanes Development team game that they haven't told us about?

Anyone picking Savea over Rayasi might be suffering from a recent lobotomy. Even if he normally pays on the other wing.
Well after watching Cane/MP, I was just coming in here to say why I thought Rayasi misses out so much, boy he just looks to be completely not into whats happening in game so often, he frustrated the buggery out of me tonight.
To be honest I thought PUJ failed to prove any points about him being AB quality.
Just a couple of things that went through my mind as I was watching. -

@dan54 was thinking the same. Rayasi was poor and PUJ below his best too. Noticed a few upright ineffective tackle attempts. Tjp Prinsep Fidow Goosen Sullivan and Gibson all looked good to me.
The most important performers were the two locks IMO. Parsons and IWL brought to the Canes pack the power it was missing, and allowed their colleagues to look good.

Here's some highlights of the Petone game from Saturday. Hurricanes development players Riley Higgins (12), Harry Godfrey (15) and Logan Henry (9) featuring prominently.

Hopefully see the big dog soon.
