@bones That was a good read. TKB's uncle Tukere was at Hamilton BHS when I was there. That was the connection for TKB to come to NZ.

Surprised no eyebrows raised who he favours as best 9 or best coach (didn't he ever play under Foster?) -

Not sure what's so eyebrow raising? Or are you just using them to take another boring shot at Foster?

A1Aaron Smith not mentioned.
A2 guilty as charged. I was really more interested to read how highly he values and mentions Wayne Smith rather than Rennie, which might explain a few recent things overseas. -

Surprised no eyebrows raised who he favours as best 9 or best coach (didn't he ever play under Foster?)@nostrildamus Dupont is the World Player of the Year - it's not a huge leap to call him the best 9 in the world, especially considering TKB plays in France.

Oh I agree, plus he is a 9/10 in a way we don't seem to have here but just idly pointing out people were calling A Smith the best 9 in the world a few months ago. I think he has competition but yeah they play slightly different roles. This French team really looks like it is getting it together and not just for a game or two every so often.

Anyone know anything about Chandler Cunningham-South? Back row, played a bit of North Harbour and Canterbury age grade apparently. Signed an academy contract with London Irish a few weeks ago.
He's straight into the England U20s team (at 6) for their 6N game against Wales tomorrow.

He is so little known that he was not included in the Otago NPC team last season https://www.orfu.co.nz/newsarticle/105465?newsfeedId=1294795 nor, it appears so, their Development/Academy team https://www.orfu.co.nz/HIGH-PERFORMANCE/otago-academy although, as the photo seems to indicate he was the North Otago No. 8 in the Lochore Cup Final against Wanganui last season

Not really but he was in the Canterbury Under 19s last season out of Lincoln University RFC
https://www.canterburyrugby.co.nz/newsarticle/106283?newsfeedId=1043163
and think he might have originated from Hamilton BHS (a bit of a longshot on this). With a name like he has got it sort of indicates he must have at least one pommie parent/grandparent for him to walk into the RFUs Under 20s. -

Yeah, assuming he has an English gran in there somewhere to be eligible.

@nostrildamus said in Exodus:
Anyway, I caught a bit of TKB playing last night. Still looks like he'd do well in black.
If in similar form to pre-exodus, he'd be ranked #2 halfback perhaps? I liked his form in black. Workmanlike perhaps but efficient and excellent defender.
Really gets La Rochelle backs going. @crucial was Ihaia West outside him that day?

I’ve seen a couple of games now. In one of them West got deservedly hooked at halftime.

West had flashes of brilliance. Won the Blues that game against the Lions (along with SBW scoring a ridiculous try under the sticks)

https://www.provincial.rugby/news/heartland-championship-finals-team-lists/@higgins guys would turn down development to play Heartland i would guess. Still a very crazy recruitment
