The Silver Fern

Could be wrong but wasn't his pay decrease due to him not making the All Blacks?

I always thought he was a wrecking ball but didn't offer a lot else, he tried the kicking game and wasn't too bad.

His 2016 and 2017 seasons for the Canes were unreal and I'll never forget the game against the Blues in 2020 in Welly. Pretty good at Super level.

Whilst I like people standing up for themselves, he had a massive chip on his shoulder and I swear his most searched on Google was his own name, he said he was humble but was the exact opposite. He probably should have just ignored everything and put his head down a little more but what the fuck do I know.

Also always remember him having a dig at everyone not playing for their smaller unions in the NPC then signing for the club based in Paris.

@Bovidae a good mate of mine did and gave me his login but I haven't used it. It went a while without any updates, around a month or so and he reckons the stuff isn't groundbreaking.

Been given some oil, not sure how reliable it is. Quinn Tupaea out for 6 weeks with an ankle injury.

@Bovidae well, fuck

I got excited for a moment, as I have a Rebel Sport gift card

But I'd probably have to put on 100 kegs to fit 4XL!

They're quite big too. I normally fit a large. Got one and I'll need to have it taken up. Almost looks like a dress on me

They fit long but not wide, pretty annoying.

If anyone was after the NZ Super Rugby retro kits that were released just before Christmas they've just re-stocked on RYOS

And just piggy backing off this, if anyone wants the Ford and Super 12 logos added I can point you to my mate who does them.

Can't remember who was after one but the white Chiefs training tees are for sale to the public now.

Be interesting to see how they do rugby at Bay Oval. Personally not keen on sitting on the embankment but will see if they have anything planned for season members but not holding my breath.

Breakout All Blacks loose forward Wallace Sititi is set to miss a chunk, if not all, of the Chiefs’ Super Rugby Pacific campaign. World Rugby’s breakthrough player of 2024

Hopefully not breaking any rules posting this here but if anyone has any info on the Chiefs Colts from 1999 to add then please let me know.

@Matiunz there's still a few available, check playersports, sports safari and champions of the world.

@Bovidae nope that's one that's evaded me for too long. Last one I saw come up for sale the seller wanted $1500 which is way too high.

@Bovidae ah yeah easy, right around the corner for me so might try my luck.

@Bovidae are you allowed to just pop down and watch?

He doesn't look too bad a week ago? Pre surgery maybe?

@chchfanatic fuck sake
