@NTA well it's been pushed back enough times.
I wasn't following it so was surprised at how quickly it has developed. Seems like yesterday it was a hole in the ground and they were fighting over who was supposed to remove the debris. Bloody Covid has screwed time.
Hope Christchurch is taking note. Just build the fucking thing already.

This makes me think Gibson and Laubscher have Covid if they are unavailable and aren't injured.
-
@Canes4life Hard to say. We know the others in the "unavailable for selection" list are injured, but it doesn't say so.
-
@Stargazer it's odd they haven't mentioned Goosen, Scrafton and Umaga-Jensen. Maybe they should have another column that states 'leaving so we aren't selecting them anymore'.
Also, before anyone asks, I’m just making rumours about PUJ but wouldn’t be surprised if he left and joined his bro. With Riley Higgins coming through and Jordie Barrett playing a lot more at 12, it will make sense if he wants more time on the field to push for higher honours.

As Goosen and Scrafton are leaving, I can understand not selecting them to start if there are equally good options.
They should definitely be in the top 23 though.
The poor PUJ treatment continues. I think it's unfortunately a fairly safe bet he's going elsewhere and who can blame him.

It pains me to say it as I have been a big advocate for him since leaving school and I do think he's an international quality midfielder, I just feel like he hasn't had the consistent opportunity from the Canes to show his true potential. I hope that he still gets another opportunity to put on that All Black jersey, even if it means he has to prove himself at a different franchise.
