    There's an argument to be made he shouldn't make the Blues 23 let alone any ABs squad.

    @Canes4life Blues have quality midfielders in Essendon Tuitupou and Leo Gordon coming through from the U20 squad so I would be promoting both of them next season or they could be lost elsewhere.

    @canefan What's the bet he doesn't make the World Cup and gets an early release and plays this season.

    Wouldn't be a surprise, would it? I always saw him as a fringe player anyway

    It's pretty poor they gave him game time in black. He was never up to scratch. If he really wanted a shot he should have come in 2020, not 2022.

    Was he bad in black? I don't recall him stuffing up, not at Ennor level anyway. (I recall he was at 13 not 12)?

    @nostrildamus no he didn't make many huge errors, but also didn't add anything. At the same level as many SR players. If he'd given it a decent time before turning up, like sbw did in France, might be a different story. Want helped by covid and injury, but midfield is a complex beast, just ask ioane

    In this game he hardly played! But I do recall he was direct and I don't remember major mistakes and missed tackles

    heh! No, you are right I think! I was following the thread on PUJ!
    He must have deflected back to RTS!

    This lad, Joseph Domoni, who won the Crusaders 1st XV and South Island competition with Nelson College in 2021, was awarded a 4-year scholarship to study and play at Daito Bunka University in Tokyo at the end of 2021. Less than one and half year later, he has a professional contract with Kintetsu Liners.

    I can't remember his name. Have we lost a potentially good lock?

    1.96 m and 96 kgs only. Seems a bit too thin, even for a 20 yo lad.

    All Blacks test centurion Sam Whitelock has been linked to a move to French club Pau after the World Cup later this year.
    
    French news site Rugby Rama has reported that Whitelock, 34, is close to signing with Pau – the same club younger brother and former All Blacks loose forward Luke represented after 2019.

    Can we, please, keep the "rumours" and "speculation" out of this thread? It adds nothing.

    Real exodus and confirmed signings only, please.

    @Duluth Why not? I started this thread for useful information. Rumours add nothing and there are way too many of them.

    @Duluth Then maybe not post these - usually unreliable - rumours at all.

    Stop telling people not to post things. Posting information is good

    @Duluth I started the thread. Rumours aren't "information".

    I also don't "tell" people not to post things. I ask politely. 🤨
