@Canes4life Yup, although the Landers could also just ditch Li or Nabura

No great loss. Magnificent at times for the highlanders, pretty much a dud for the all blacks with the odd highlight.

Handre Pollard going to Montpellier for apparently $2 million per season. Taking Cruden's job....

He’s hardly taking cruden’s job. More like whoever is currently playing 10, given Cruden has been pretty much an abysmal failure in part due to injury.

am sure he is crying tears of ££££££'s
he be happy cos he went there for the money, not the rugby!

The following players have signed with Panasonic Wild Knights:
Wyatt Crockett
Chris King
Sheridan Rangihuna (Wellington)
James Dargaville (North Harbour)Former All Blacks prop Wyatt Crockett will soon leave for Japan to work for his old Crusaders mentor Robbie Deans. Crockett, who played the last of his 71 tests for the All Blacks in late 2017 and retired from Super Rugby last year, will represent the Panasonic Wild Knights before returning to New Zealand to make himself available for Ta$man in the Mitre 10 Cup. The 36 year old, who now lives with his family in Nelson where their Stirling Sports business is located and also has been working with the Sky rugby commentary team, has yet to pull on the boots this year but couldn't resist the call of the Far East. He had intended to get some club footy under his belt in coming weeks, but will instead use his time in the Top League Cup to get some match fitness prior to the Mitre 10 Cup. "I will head over to Japan next week and will probably be there for about 10 weeks," Crockett said. "It's a short competition, the idea is that they wanted to do something this year before the World Cup because their normal competition would run during that World Cup period.
