@cgrant I suspect it's the same guy, but 1988 can't be right, because then he would have been too old to play U20s in 2011. I guess he'll still be 30+ though.
If it's the same guy, then he was with the Northland squad in 2015 as an injury replacement (but didn't play for them); he played for West Coast in 2018 and 2019, NZ Universities in 2021 and was part of the Canterbury B squad, last year. Don't know about 2020 and 2021.

@Machpants Is this Under 20s SuperRugby just a small tournament among the Kiwi teams or is it kind of like a reserve grade?

@SBW1 The Super Rugby U20 thread is here:
https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/5745/2023-super-rugby-u20s
The Super Rugby U20 tournament serves foremost as a selection process for the NZ Under 20s. It's not like a reserve grade.
In addition, the franchises' development teams are usually meant to give game time to full squad members that don't get game time during Super Rugby, until club rugby starts. Apart from full squad members, often Academy players will fill the remaining spots in the development teams.

Who here is worried the Crusaders might win the spoon this year?

@kiwi_expat I am of the belief that the NZ XV side which was coached by Leon Macdonald was close to what will be rolled out in the not too distant future. The Saders have started off fairly slow this year and the coach has experienced a few disruptions.
Yeah Razor has been missing for almost 2 weeks with his Wife's brother passing away.

@Chris That game in Fiji was always going to be either a banana skin or a cricket score for us, unfortunately the former. We still hopefully have a few players yet to come back who will make an impact.
Hopefully Leicester,Mo’unga,Taylor,Blackadder and Moodey,Drummond back next game.

@Crazy-Horse I'd like to know Will Jordan's status as well. And for how long Havili will be out for.
