@Bovidae Tyrone Thompson will be playing for Napier Tech.
That surprises me as teams usually include a hooker in the extra players they take for away games.

Good to hear McMillan say that Daniel Rona has a contract in front of him. I don't know who they had in mind to replace Nankivell but Rona has done more than enough to earn a fulltime squad position for 2024 and beyond.
Has grabbed his lucky break with both hands.
His position as a fill in has meant that the coaches have given him plenty of game time and he has improved with every minute played.
Doesn’t look out of place at all and is right up there competing for the form centre position. -

Three schools in three years shows how much school rugby has taken over as the development pathway from club.

I knew Finau had moved to St Peter's from Manurewa HS but didn't realise he'd been at James Cook HS first. Joe Rokocoko is another who originally went to James Cook HS.

Great result, I do like how well the NZR/Clubs etc are doing in resigning these players!

Looking ahead to Weber's replacement, I hope Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi isn't the no.1 option. He's past it. The other Dev halfback is Adam Lennox, which would be a selection for the future. It would also mean that Xavier Roe would be the oldest halfback of the three, and he would only be 25 at the start of the 2024 season.
