Crusaders 2020

[Stargazer]

@cgrant He's studying at Lincoln Uni and was named in the 2019 Canterbury Wider Training Group, but not the Canterbury Mitre 10 Cup squad. He indeed played for Waikato in the 2019 Mitre 10 Cup.

Edited to add that he attended Lincoln High School before going to uni.

Thanks a lot for the quick (and detailed) answer.

A foreign object removed from his stomach?

Just shows you should always use dildos with a wide base.

@Crucial be interesting to see if the real reason gets out. Somehow I think not.

The lad loves his seafood. Could be something as simple as a fish bone.

[Chris B.]

@chchfanatic Sounds like you have the inside story?

[chchfanatic]

@shark he’s definitely in Dunedin training with them. Don’t know if he’s been added to squad or not

@Chris-B 🤐🤐🤐

[Chris B.]

@chchfanatic I'm sure!

Crikey. Shows how thin our SR squads are now. The kid has a bit of talent but has only had a handful of games for Canterbury, and then out of position.

[chchfanatic]

@shark this kid has the goods. I’ve watched him since he left school. He was always a skinny kid. Now he’s over 100kgs and lost none of his speed.
