What a click bait title. If you read the article, he's not "hitting out" at all. He's just expressing his disappointment, which is understandable. He's been excellent for Waikato. We'll never know how their season would have ended if he hadn't pulled his hamstring, but they might just have been able to remain in the Premiership.

@taniwharugby From the article:
Guildford, currently recovering from a hamstring injury, is now targeting a comeback with the Waikato Sevens team in December. However despite showing excellent form for Waikato during domestic tournaments last summer, he doesn't believe the national selectors will change their stance. "I think that most doors are closed for me here in New Zealand from the higher powers at the NZRU. -
@stargazer I didn't read the article!
How many games did he play, he looked in decent form early on (2/3 games) then got injured and then re-injured in his come back game didn't he?
Am sure Titch woulda picked him
-
@taniwharugby He played 448 minutes spread over 7 games (including that last game in which he played only a few minutes before re-injuring).
-
He limped off in the Manawatu game - game 6.

Yeah I wanted to be outraged and so decided to have a read! Then couldn't find the hitting out. What a shit headline. Fair enough on Zac, all he's done is state the facts pretty much.

Apparently the Crusaders squad will be announced tomorrow morning.
It appears unlikely Leon MacDonald's replacement will be signed-up before the Crusaders' squad is unveiled this week. Applications for the assistant backline coach's position, which became vacant when MacDonald exercised the option to leave the Crusaders after one season into a two-year deal, closed on October 20 but the appointment process may not be completed before the Super Rugby champions' squad is released on Wednesday morning.

@stargazer Well I didn't see that one coming!
These guys watch all the tapes, get the stats etc, but they rate him over Matt Vaega, or did Vaega get a better offer?
"I had a phone call from Tana [Umaga] and I had a fair idea he wanted me to jump on board, but I thought it would be part of a wider squad. "But two days later I got a call to say I've got a [full] contract."

Squad watch - NZ Super Rugby announcements tomorrow (Wednesday):
5am: Crusaders
7am: Blues
10am: Highlanders
11am: Chiefs
11.45am: Hurricanes -
In the games I watched the Southland midfield was pretty leaky and they didn't seem to create much with the decent amount of ball they had either.
Wonder if that means Tua had gone elsewhere, WTG or overlooked.
