@stargazer I'm pretty sure the clock only starts ticking once the player leaves High School.

@higgins Oops, yes, that's true, but that doesn't change the fact that he's NZ eligible. The residency requirement up to and including December 31, 2021 is “thirty-six consecutive months of Residence immediately preceding the time of playing”. After that date, it's a sixty-month residency requirement . So if they cap him before 31 December 2021, it's three years. He left school at the end of 2017. That's more than enough.

"It was really cool, and then the shock of Jamie Joseph saying, ‘You can be Jimmy Cowan..."
I think Smith exceeded that target...buy quite a bit

You could lump in Piri and Angela with the Southland bogan and he exceeded that target by lots still.

Excellent! I've been saying for years that the players are too small and game is boring because of it.
I think 150kg per forward is probably peak, as the field may not be big enough if they were to get larger than that.
Can't wait for my little boy to get into rugby.

I know right, can only imagine how many 150kg monsters there are in little boy rugby.
