I don't know if he was ever a first choice All Black. His sendoff against Ireland last year probably didn't help his cause. Razor initially talked about him early on as a centre, he has lived up to his hype at the Saders. Aumua will be a big plus for us.
Don't know what happened in Japan either but maybe he thinks his future is better forged elsewhere.

Will Jordan has re signed with the Crusaders it should be announced soon
The Cantabs rumour hit rate hasn't been great this year but I 100% hope you're right with this one.
I think @Chris and @chchfanatic (I think that’s right) have been excellent with their early predictions and sauce information. The fuckers support the evil empire so I don’t want to go overboard, but I’ve enjoyed their contributions to this thread. Similarly @Nogusta has been forthcoming with the Blues, so cheers blokes and well done on the predictions.

Hey, don't bring facts in to ruin my comment based on that one dude with bad predictions.

@Bovidae John Afoa has played in NZ
I rewatched the interview and Robertson is asked "if he had played here at the Crusaders before". I originally thought the reporter said only here, as in NZ, not the Crusaders.

@gt12 thanks mate. I only post stuff that I know is 100%. I’m sure I’ve posted somethings that haven’t come true. I know the Folau Fakatava one a few years ago. But he had signed with crusaders and then back flipped on them apparantly. I have a pretty good source on the inside. As does Chris. However I have no idea who the new coach is. The main rumours I’ve heard is Ross Filipo or Andrew Goodman.

'Does put a damper on things': Crusaders concerned with All Black duo
The Crusaders comprehensive 42-18 victory over the Waratahs has come with a cost with two more All Blacks under injury clouds heading into the final round.

@SBW1 said in Crusaders v Waratahs:
Grace and Havili injury concerns is a worry.
Yeah - even though we have people coming back who can cover for them, I'm pretty sure both would have been in our starting XV (mine anyway) so we'll be a bit weaker for their likely absence and already a bit weakened with plenty of others out for the season. At some point that will start to take a toll on performance.

Goodman has certainly been talked about as a future Crusaders coach and I've heard some chat about him being appointed this time (from people speculating).
What seems a bit odd to me, is that it was pretty clear that Razor was on his way out after this season - one way or another. If Goody was the preferred option, I would have expected him to have stayed in Christchurch. Google throws this up while I'm trying to find out how long he signed at Leinster for.
Leinster boost with Andrew Goodman staying despite interest from Crusaders
Leinster are set for a major boost, as the highly regarded Andrew Goodman is expected to remain part of the province’s coaching staff next season.
