only a semi? this pic was literally me when i saw the interwebs news!

[Yeetyaah]

God damn I'm so stoked the beaver is back.

NZ U20 loosehead prop Oliver Norris is training with the Chiefs.

[ARHS]

Have noted Matty Lansdown missing from all 'extra wider training groups'. Just surprised to see him awol when number 10s in such short supply. Is the injury suffered with the NZ Maoris a longer-term problem? I hope not.

[Crucial]

Beaver in his zimmer frame is still a better option than MMac.

[Steven Harris]

@ARHS was hoping Northland have a look at Landsdowne for Mitre 10 Cup given that the word doing the rounds is that Solomon Alaimalo is heading to Waikato ..if that is the case Landsdowne won’t be getting to much game time at fullback..

[Tim]

Shane Stevenson has played at 10 for Harbour.

[Stargazer]

@Tim Is that Shaun's brother?

[Tim]

@Stargazer Oops, I always get his name wrong. Shaun Stevenson.
