Ian Foster to replace Steve Tew - Anything to get him out of becoming the next All Blacks Head Coach.

@Nepia that is pretty funny for a HBgayian living in Aus!

@Chris-B I agree that his failure to get rid of Northland and Ta$man is a black mark on his record!

@Chris-B and @taniwharugby gonna go at you now bro!

[Billy Tell]

Tew has been excellent. Got up Rattue’s nose which is a sure sign you’re doing something right.

Sorry, I can't quite hear you from those second division seats!

[Wurzel]

Haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere but Tevita Li is off to the Suntory Sungoliath.

Last one out of Forsyth Barr Stadium please turn off the lights.

@Wurze. Geez will there be anyone left they all seem to be jumping ship.

Raelene Castle? You know it's going to happen sometime 😀

Fuck no. Besides she is scary looking. She must take appearance advice from Tim Burton

Steve Tew is no looker either but getting rid of the mo was a good start.

I'm over the moon, next year is our year!

[Stargazer]

I predict that Li will also play for the Sunwolves next season.

Not exodus, but didn't know where else to post this.

[Yeetyaah]

@Wurzel How do you know this?

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Here's the media release of Suntory Sungoliath:

Looks like Melani Nanai is on the All Blacks radar. Or perhaps they're just being pricks to Worcester and Manu Samoa...

Warriors signing on standby for New Zealand World Cup squad?

NEW Worcester Warriors signing Melani Nanai is understood to be on the All Blacks standby list for the Rugby World Cup after being “held back”…

Yes that’s it.

[Stargazer]

It's way more likely that Nanai has contractual obligations to play Mitre 10 Cup then that he's on the ABs "stand-by list". There are several players who are well ahead of him in the outside backs queue.

[KiwiMurph]

If Nanai wasn't heading overseas I think you would have heard his name thrown up a lot more this year for AB consideration given how strong his form has been. It is interesting.

[Nogusta]

@Stargazer bit of both. He is contracted til the end of M10 and is keen to head over straight after Super. Auckland are happy for him to head over there and get his family settled in but NZRU have asked him to stay as cover in the event of further outside back injuries

[Rapido]

^^ Is he not interested in playing for Samoa at the world cup?
If so, he has timed his contracting dates abysmally?

or is he easy either way?
