Yeah name names, premiership has finished, as has the majority of T14

@Kiwiwomble We know it is true but they'll deny it and give the usual bs politician answers as they do.

Good game from Chay Fihaki. The best players on the field were the Fijian Nr.8 and Fickou.

@Daffy-Jaffy So this was played as a double-header straight after the Wales game?

Very good of Fiji and the Barbarians to entertain the crowd after they had been watching the Snoreboks.

Fabian Holland looked good. He will be eligible for the ABs next year.

Leicester F looked sharp. Anyone know how long he's got left on his Toulon contract?

[cgrant]

Yes, Fabian Holland was good during his 20 min cameo. He will be an All Black.

In a couple years the ABs will have some decent locks once a lot of these guys mature in Darry, Holland, Hannah, Barrett, Lord and Gallagher.

@Canes4life Yep. First Fives and Goalkickers looking like the area we will most need to fix.

Fergus Burke looked good
