Crockett, Messam and Sivivatu were considered the 3 unlucky players to miss out.
Them arriving back at the airport from SA while the rest of the squad went to Brisbane was not Henry's and NZR's finest hour.
Timing wasn't NZR's or Henry's choice.

Confirmed. Milner-Skudder has signed a 3 year contract with Toulon.

@stargazer assume he must have seen he was very unlikely to be in the RWC plans given he is off after Super rugby.

Yeah, they didn't exactly want to name the squad for a home RWC in a hastily organized hotel conference room in Brisbane FFS. I think Zac had booked the front bar solid that week.

@taniwharugby Yeah, he was already behind Smith/Jordie/Dmac at fullback and behind Smith/Naholo on the right wing. Possibly behind Bridge, too, now.

Hard luck, Pau. Ardie Savea has re-signed with NZ Rugby:

That’s a big loss for NZ rugby. Hopefully one of Brodie or Sam can make the step up.

@sparky Assuming Luatua saw the light as well, he was never serious (really?) about committing to NZR / Blues / coming back to NZ for RWC. At least he has made his choice now.
-
@ShadowTrooper Lautua is something of a cult-figure in Bristol. My guess is that the club gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Chris Boyd is trying to sign Ryan Crotty and Matt Proctor for Northampton:

Not really Exodus, but Malakai Fekitoa is set to join his mate Lima Sopoaga at Wasps:

So Crotty maybe not to Northampton, Read not off to France...the pre-RWC rumour mill in full swing
Also
The All Blacks have traditionally lost senior players after Rugby World Cup campaigns, but the moves to Japan represent a new trend.
Not sure it is so much a new trend, just another option now.
