@Machpants thanks bro. Us 58 year olds need help.
I'm waiting in suspense here for the photo. Better be good...

Does anyone know if the Maori games are on in aus ?
Couldn’t find them listed on Stan , the tests are there .
Edit : found them , (I was looking under international rugby )
🤙🏾
-
@kiwiinmelb They usually are on Stan, aren't they? May be announced later? Were their games v Samoa shown by Stan, last year?

Didn't see this one coming. May be a sign that either Dickson, Parkinson, IWL or Selby-Rickit is shifting to the ABs?
Yep wonder about that too, same as Nock coming in is it more or less planned or Weber or TJP having to cover if Nuggy Smith is not quite right.

@Nepia maybe they just found out he was Māori, he’s definitely the best loose forward in that squad
Yeah, possibly, but I thought they all had to declare they were eligible with their contracts.
Maybe he didn’t know his whakapapa?
-
Media release: Max Hicks called up, too.

I think maybe they were waiting to see how he was after final, as you say he would seem the best loose forward in squad.

Whoops I just stopped and thought Nock would be there as you need 3 9s in case of one pulling out late.

Sam Nock over Bryn Hall as well.
-
@Old-Samurai-Jack May have to do with the fact that Hall is going to Japan.
-
@Stargazer still, the Maori side isnt all about a development path though.
Hall has played better.
-
@taniwharugby I was more thinking of the possibility that Hall made himself unavailable because he wants a good break before heading to Japan (he won't be playing NPC, will he?). They have a really long preseason.
