@yeetyaah You can also look at this from another angle. He has been doing really good work for the community (mental health & suicide prevention), esp for Maori men. Playing for Wai-Bush is another way for him to give back to the community he's part of. He's still a good player and he'll be good for the team. They'll be getting more out of this, than he does.
-
@stargazer cool and I'm glad to see that. But rugby obviously isn't doing favours for his mental health. He's had chances and wasted them. No way he deserves to represent a region in rugby.
-
@yeetyaah I think it's wrong to discus someone's personal mental health problems on this forum, so I won't respond to that, but I think the people at Wai-Bush will be at a better position to judge whether he deserves to represent them, than we do.
-
@stargazer what else is a forum for? We discuss everything else. But sure, I'll leave it.

Too bad for Ngati Porou East Coast that this wasn't a competition game, because it would have ended their long losing streak. They beat Poverty Bay 28 - 19 (HT: 23 - 14). I only saw part of the game, but NMS scored at least one try.
In the other game, North Otago was too strong for King Country: 27 -19 (HT: 19 - 14).
