Jade Te Rure
Good to see he's still in NZ.
Manawatu has some promising props, IIRC?

@chris-b i seem to recall Blair playing some 10 at NPC level and may have even had a game or two for the Highlanders at 1st 5. His natural running game and decent boot was more suited to 15.

@tim I just found this:
Turbos sign Brumbies prop: Faalelei Sione (8 SR caps)
Not sure if it’s been mentioned but I hear another Brumbies player has signed with Auckland this season.

Preseason: Game of Three Halves @ Taihape
First result: Wanganui 14 v 26 BOP (2T v 4T)
Shit that’s probably a bit close for BOPs liking... No doubt they would have played a heap of young/untested guys, but still.
On the flip side, great to see Wanganui being competitive.

@Stargazer, who are your players to look out for in this year's Mitre 10 Cup?

Second result: Wanganui 14 v 12 Manawatu (2T v 2T)
Bloody hell lad, that’s a tad embarrassing for the poo.

@tim I find it hard to answer that question without all squad lists being available, but generally speaking I'll be keeping a close eye on all players that made the NZU20s the last few years. I can probably give you a better answer in 3 weeks.

My hazy memory says it was around 06 that Evans either didn’t play or got injured and Blair was moved in.
