    Awesome update.

    I presume Patrick McCurran has a gig somewhere else?

    McCurran is a physiotherapist so maybe the "real job" is his main income. I assume that some players are approached to be in the WTG but decline based on their personal circumstances.

    The Chiefs All Black XV players are back too, in the gym.

    I don't think they ever not back in gym, even when not training with teams, think they still keep up a level of fitness.

    An updated article about Solomon Alaimalo. He had other offers but chose the Chiefs.

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/130703073/solomon-alaimalo-returns-to-chiefs-as-replacement-player-in-a-great-place-after-mental-health-break

    Also of note:

    McMillan said their All Blacks were due back on January 24. The All Blacks XV players return on January 9.

    Hahaha why y'all acting weird? I just welcomed him back and he said "appreciate you brother." I've always been a huge fan and was gutted when he left.

    @Yeetyaah lol sliding into his DMs, trying to catfish him? Perhaps trying to convince him you were that well known chiefs legend Numi Tepulolo?

    Superfan for sure!

    There is the opportunity to look for a specialist no.7 to replace PGS. There are already enough 6/8s in the squad, and Boshier only signed on for 2023. Cane isn't getting any younger as well.

    I can't see how McWhannell stays now, unless McMillan wants a thousand locks in his squad. I'll be fucked off if that happens as he has so much more upside than MSR.

    Yep I can understand McWhannel moving,(c'mon down to Canes), but kind of agree this is more about after WC when Lurch goes? Nothing like a couple of 2m+ locks in the squad.

    McWhannel moving,(c'mon down to Canes)..nah at 1.98m too tall for the Canes..would block out the Wellingtonian sun...

    Boshier's brother apparently doing well at Saitama.
