    @Chris He's quite small, isn't he? Even for an openside? And has had quite a few injuries, the last few years? Good player though. You'd think they only let him go if they have found a better alternative, or intend to convert a blindside into an openside, or something like that.

    He is a bit small but he a 100% player so good pick up

    Knowing the Crusaders not offering him a contract means they have an alternative lined up somewhere not a 7 but there is talk around Canterbury rugby circles of Frizell coming to the Crusaders,

    If Bryn Gatland decides to move North, the Landers should go after McClutchie. I doubt the Hurricanes will be smart enough to sign him and the Landers have the benefit of already having Fakatava in the squad (assuming he's staying). I think there's an advantage of having a half-pairing that also plays together in Mitre 10 Cup.

    No they can have Brett Cameron we will pay his plane ticket down there.

    @Stargazer i do like combinations sticking together, if hunt is 10 back up and we're tlaking about a third choice that might not get a lot of game time i wouldn't mind someone young and local like when we had quasie

    he might need a little media training, telling the media his old club didn't want him and so he didn't have a choice but to sign....

    Z. Kapeli did not play a single minute this year, which is surprising since he was very good for Tonga at the RWC. He could cover the openside in case of need.

    That was great watching. Kees my favourite prop ever.

    The solo Fekitoa try is still one of the best individual tries I've seen.

    @MajorRage I'd completely forgotten it, ridiculous ghosting through gaps.
