Great news

@Chris Great news that he has re-signed for 3 years and also that there is no sabbatical clause, although he has the option to take an extended break.
Barrett doesn't have a sabbatical clause linked to his new deal but there is an option to return later in a Super Rugby season if he feels the need to refresh.I hope this signing is followed by more announcements soon (all NZ franchises), because there are still a lot of players with a contract expiring in 2020 and no news about them re-signing.

And this is from the Crusaders FB page :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:
I really don't. I think DC could run a back line and do his defence much closer to his best than Ritchie could as an openside compared to his best (I you get what I mean)
Only because of the contact McCaw used to take
EDIT: and I also don't want him to diminish his awesomeness that I remember. He is the greatest player ever in my mind, and coming back and playing at 75% or what ever it would be would tarnish that in my eyes.

@Hooroo And McCaw hasn't played pro rugby for 5 years, concentrating on endurance running. DC is still a pro player. That's a massive difference, not even slightly comparable situations.
True true.

The Crusaders had a pre-season hit-out, this afternoon. The final score was 21 all.
Bryn Hall, Jack Goodhue and Mitch Drummond scored tries for Mā whero, converted by Havili;
Mitch Dunshea and Rameka Poihipi scored for Mā pango (don't know who scored the 3rd), converted by Burke.
Fergus Burke had the chance to win the golden point, but missed the penalty.Team lists:
.
Some names missing, including Mo'unga, Whitelock, Drummond, Ennor, Strange, Makalio, Cameron and Tu'ungafasi, but some of them came on from the bench. Not Whitelock, Mo'unga and Makalio (he may be injured?). -
