NPC - news, injuries etc

I am so rapt to hear this. I struggle to understand why both have been repeatedly overlooked for Super rugby, and hope they can be contracted for 2020.

Listening to the club rugby round-up, apparently Jack Grooby is "gone for the season" with a knee injury. Not sure whether that is just the club season or the NPC as well.
His club, Stoke has recruited a Welsh halfback - former Wales U20 player - Declan Smith - who the Mako will doubtless be looking at. @MiketheSnow
In other bad news, NZs oldest rugby club, Nelson - is only able to field a 17 man team this weekend. I think they were still beating one of the Marlborough clubs at halftime!

Not heard of him, but has had U20 honours.

@Stargazer As long as he stays at the Canes I'm not too fussed on that. I think he will be an All Black in no time anyway so will probably only have his services for a year. Does that mean he is playing for Hawkes Bay this year?
-
@Canes4life Yes, he'll be a Magpie for 2019-2021.

@Stargazer that leaves Wellington with only one lock - James Blackwell (and he isn't even a lock). Unless they have managed to sign locks from outside the region - highly doubt it though.

@Canes4life Unless Fifita doesn't make the ABs ...

According to an article in the Hawke's Bay Today, Isaia Walker-Leawere has signed a 3-year contract with Hawke's Bay.
Ah thats good to hear. We can now discuss what we have known about for a month or six weeks openly. We still await the official announcement of the Vince Aso signing which we too are also almost certain has taken place,
