@Bovidae I think he just tied it back. On the news, it was still there.

Yes, that looks to be the case from other photos/videos. Hastings bogan.

Gah, 2020 just really is just a shit year. Keeps throwing bad news at us.
Me: "Fakatava has sorted his year, Yay!"
2020: "No, actually he's just tied it back"

A few former MABs playing in the 6N: Sean Maitland (Sco), Blade Thomson (Sco), Jamison Gibson-Park (Ire), James Lowe (Ire).

@mofitzy Wonder if any of them qualified on "nationality/citizenship" grounds as they all look to have British/Irish names? My nephew, who is on the fringes of Super Rugby in Australia (holds a Development/WTG contract with one of the teams) carries passports/citizenship from NZ, Australia and the Republic of Ireland so he can pick and chose any of those if he ever proves to be any good.
Well no he doesn't in reality as he will be disinherited if he opts for the second of those named countries!!!!!! Pity he is not my sister's son as at least then he would carry a different family name...................

@Higgins I think only Lowe qualified via the stand down period?

[Bovidae]

Gibson-Park too.

Ah I stand corrected, I thought he had qualified via ancestry.

[Stargazer]

Maitland had a Scottish grandfather.
