@tim I must admit that I don't remember him at all. Is this signing a big loss for the Blues depth?

[Tim]

@stargazer Think this was his first year with the Auckland NPC squad, and unfortunately he didn't get to play.

EDIT: He's only 21, so not much experience! He was in the 2020 NZ U20 training squad. Looks like he got a game off the bench last year against Northland.

[Dice]

@tim He got one start against Canterbury last year too. He looked good in that game.

Can't remember whether this has been posted before. BOP's Dutchman Stan van der Hoven has signed with New England Free Jacks in the MLR.

[cgrant]

Has Fatialofa recovered from his terrible injury ? When is he back in NZ ?
I reckon he could be a real contender for a spot in the ABs RWC squad, given the lack of options as far as locks are concerned.

[muddyriver]

@cgrant I don't think he is going be playing rugby from what I've seen

[Bones]

@machpants I thought schooling doesn't count towards it?

[nostrildamus]

Stan van den Hoven-the name of a very tall Dutch vacuum cleaner.

[ARHS]

@bayimports wondered why he disappeared to King Country then off the radar when he has such obvious potential. Good luck to him

[Bovidae]

Maybe RL is his preference. He's a strong, direct runner with deceptive speed so could be a handful.
