    @taniwharugby typical - the one All Black that doesn't need to improve his aerial skills.

    Unless you are BB or Christie.

    Beaudy came as a senior AB

    Christie is the exception - but that's hardly a ringing endorsement

    And plays for Ta$man

    I wondered about saying that - but you're right

    Maybe a couple of the older guys don't leave.

    Ideal scenario is Robertson being dumped ASAP, and Papalii being made ABs captain.

    Part one completed. 🙂

    Anyone know the details for Friday's preseason game against the Hurricanes? Is it open to the public? Will it be streamed?

    Last thing I saw was this from November:

    First up, the squad will take the field on Friday 30 January against the Hurricanes at Sacred Heart College in Glendowie at 1:30pm. Details on public attendance are still being finalised.

    Also, will they have ground sales at Onewa Domain the next week?

    @Fredsaua12 Can confirm he is moving down to Crusaders to study at UC alongside fellow Kings College team mates Johan Schaumkel (Blues U18 Flanker) & Jacob Carter (NZSS Lock)

    Interesting gig for him to take. Thought he'd just retire.

    Perhaps Schmidt will end up at the Blues next season.

    What shit news about Vern leaving.

    We're just continuously losing our best players + coaches to everyone. Can't even retain our bloody social media guy FFS.

    Last one out close the door, I expect this will continue across most franchises before and after the WC. Our teams could be looking fairly bare in 2028.
