Hearing from a very reliable source that Ioane Afoa might be involved with Auckland and the Blues next year as he's finishing up in France. He's been to Blues HQ and chatted with the management.
A coaching role ? he is 39 this year.

Last I heard he was in the D2 right, so it would be hard to come back to Super rugby from there.
A coaching role would make sense but perhaps if they are stuck with two/three departures (that we may not know about it) he could do a job with youngsters?

I am sure he would add a lot as a mentor.

He’s just finished with Bristol but is meant to be starting that 2 year French deal now.
He was still playing well for Bristol but I think some injuries were limiting his game time

Ah OK, a quick google shows you're right, so maybe he's decided to axe Europe early?

Sam Darry is listed at 2.03m and 110 kg in the NPC media guide. I guess he needs to be about 118 kg to be effective? I wonder if the can get there for next season?
Yeah he doesn’t look like he’s out any weight on since last year. 110KG is just too lightweight even for Super Rugby. Great mobility and work rate though.
