By the way, Tevita Taufu'i (Waikato) is off to the same Japanese club.
I didn't even realise he was still here.

It looks like Teddy Stanaway is no longer in the All Blacks 7s squad and - if I'm not reading too much in the hash tag #aurevoir - he's off to France. I haven't been able to find out where he is going to play and whether he's indeed going overseas.
Final day putting the @nz7s_ jersey on for me. This team has done more for me than just rugby. The people I’ve met, places I’ve been and experiences I’ve had, I could never have dreamed of as a kid. A journey with memories and friendships I’ll hold onto for life! Thank you to everyone that had a hand in my journey past and present, I hope I did you’s proud. #aurevoir -
Jordie Barrett only signing for 1 year is a worry...

@billy-tell Yes I note they quote rugby as being a "business" hmm it makes you think doesn't it I can remember when people would play for the love of the game....makes me wonder how serious Jordie is about actually playing rugby as a career - not a career path

Might be keeping his options open for a move to the Crusaders. Is BB signed beyond the RWC? If he goes maybe Jordie would be keen to play with Scott.

No, he isn't.

@pukunui I guess while the main contract is with NZR, in theory would there be a reason why a player couldnt sign with NZR for 3 years and have the opportunity to renegotiate thier super contract in a year?
THat said, would any super rugby team be keen to sign up to that deal?

Hasn't Crotty been signing one year deals for a while now? Maybe Jordie is just following his lead?
Yeah exactly. Crotty uses it as motivation. I'm sure there's plenty of different reasons a player only signs for a year.

1 News just finished their piece on them saying both players said they couldn't see themselves ever playing against the Hurricanes.

Crotty is a 29-year-old with a history of injuries.
Jordie Barrett is 21 with a long career in the All Blacks ahead of him. If he wants it.
Personally, I blame Hammett. Clearly the culture in the Hurricanes still isn't right from his time in charge . . .
