Just been told Damian McKenzie is going to be playing for La Rochelle

Is there any update on this or is it just another one of the pathetic takes appearing between test matches, trying to undermine some AB players and promote others. Can't believe the crap 'articles' I am seeing on planet rugby and fb in recent weeks. I traced a few back to source and found they came out of South Africa. What intrigues me is whether there is any orchestration to this. Some folk really do have it in for Sam Cane it seems...
In my view NZ Rugby have caused this situation with their reluctance in providing decent content to media this year. So folks swoop on the sensationalist opinion pieces.
The big danger is that this forms subliminal views in the minds of match officials. What do others think?

What does McKenzie (not) going to La Rochelle have to do with Sam Cane and match officials?

I am talking about fake media beat ups. The ones in the past few weeks have been hitting multiple feeds and usually with a bunch of personal attacks on the players named in the first few comments. E. G. Stuff about deliberate cheating and intention to harm. I don't like seeing this sort of thing (character attacks) when I am looking for genuine updates on teams, injuries and signings etc.
I have never seen it anything like this before. That is why I ask the question.

Didn't we know that, or was that just rumour until now?

Taranaki have granted Tom Franklin an early release so he could take up a club contract in France.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Sam Whitelock has joined the coaching staff of the Wild Knights in Japan as an 'advisor'.

Daffy Jaffy

Liam Coltman and D'Angelo Leuila are off to Utah Warriors.

Leuila being squeezed out at MP with the signing of JGB etc.

Which is a shame. He was underused at MP and is probably better that JGB anyway.

Blair Murray been named in the Wales squad just months after departing NZ

@junior12 scored a lovely try last weekend against the Bulls to be fair.
Looks a good footballer.
Highlights the lack of depth we have though in Wales.

Yeah without sounding disrespectful to the Welsh, any Kiwi just seems to have to turn up to the country and they get automatically named.

Taine Plumtree for example has played more games for Wales already than he played Super Rugby in 3 seasons!
