In stuff’s article yesterday about James O’Conner they had this tidbit about White.

‘In addition to O’Connor, Reihana and Kemara, it’s understood Canterbury No 10 James White will train with the Crusaders next year.’

Looks like Nick Shearer ,Johnny Lee,Gus Brown also in that wider training squad

Long time lurker, first time registerer.

Hearing Wellington halfback Kyle Preston has signed with the Crusaders for next year - can't directly confirm this myself, but it was passed along. In which case, thought they might have gone with Nic Shearer as the third halfback behind Hotham and Drummond.

Thanks for the info, I also was expecting Shearer to get the spot.

The Preston signing has been mentioned in the article by ClubRugby.co.nz below, they are usually spot on.

@Canes4life Absolutely dark on this no doubt we’ve signed some plodder like Judd again. Such a dumb move.

Just caught up with this thread, new poster with the sauce.

Fuck me there's leaks all over the place in Crusaders land, and it's been carried over into the ABs too. (Remember when we used to give Fozzie's lot shit for leaks).

[SBW1]

Crusaders surely must be signing Hutchinson.

Crusaders eye up former All Blacks first-five for vacant coaching role

Former All Blacks first-five Nick Evans is in talks with the Crusaders about joining their coaching lineup next season.

[Machpants]

That'd be a good pick up I reckon

Probably play ten pretty well still, too

[SBW1]

He was the understudy to Dan Carter how ironic if he gets the gig at the Saders. Would have got a lot more minutes at 10 in the Abs if Dan wasn't there. Aaron Cruden is still playing Npc, could he get another stint at Super Rugby?

He turned them down last year, won't change his mind I'd say.

Crusaders don't need another first Five now anyway, they have 3 in the squad and another in WTG.

Always good to post mate someone might have missed it.

Hopefully Nick Evans is on the coaching staff, next year hopefully a whole lot better than this year.
