@Frank the coaches like ScoBa and Tupou Vaa'i

I know there's been a need to play the A team as we always have our backs to the wall, but Vaa'i needs more game time and I think the coaches know that.

Hope he gets a decent run in Bled 2.

Josh Dickson would only be 28 in 2023.

I thought he was older than that. Seems like he has been around for ages.

Geez really? I only remember him for like 3 or 4 seasons.

edit: so yeah 5 years at the highlanders. Another Aussie though.

I wouldn't be surprised if my muddled brain has him confused with someone else from years ago. All the Highlander locks look the same to me.

Remembered a story about Sam Darry moving to Auckland and Steve Hansen saying ‘congratulations, you’ve just signed a future all black captain’. Anyone else recall this?

Sam Darry's need to be bigger. String-bean locks don't cut it nowadays.

Wouldn't play for the Canes would they?

Of course, both have had great seasons provincially aswell as for the Canes. Walker-Leawere in particular brings plenty of size and mobility which is needed at international level.

[Mackerzzzz]

Big fan of Walker-Leawere. Just needs some game time for the Canes without the useless Blackwell

Future lock for me:

S Barrett
T Vaii
J Lord
I Walker-Leawere
S Darry

[Bones]

Darry's name popping up a few times now. What's with that? Anytime I've seen him, he seems to have less impact than Blackwell and is more stringbean than Lord.

Holland might be the U20 lock who makes the step up first.

Kid excites me most, has everything I reckon.
