Hi Mr Havili thanks for offfering absolutely nothing in 2024 - here's an invite to 2025 camp

[mariner4life]

couple of "oh fuck another year of this shit?" pics in there

@KiwiMurph Amazing that they want to persist with a player who is poor at the core roles - ball carrying, defence.

[Bones]

@KiwiMurph everyone else wearing t-shirts, Jordan wearing a hoodie. Quelle surprising.

I'll let Blackadder off as the long sleeves are probably hiding a protective bodysuit.

Jordan hurt himself playing cricket the other night. He needs to hide the bruises

Yeah but he covers fullback and first five

I don't wish misfortune on anyone. But the only way Razor probably leaves DH out is if he gets a long term injury. Wallace is out hurt so he can reinstall his golden boy too. I think I'll temper my expectations for the year in light of those photos

[Mauss]

Anybody have a clue who these two guys are that Jordan's talking to? I have a hunch about both but that hunch just seems unlikely so maybe I'm just not seeing who they actually are.

Two more visitors from Christchurch?

[frugby]

Unsure who those guys with Jordan are, but these camps almost always only involve players who were in squads in 2025 (generally guys who actually played) and don't tend to exclude anyone who was picked in the most recent squad.

I wouldn't read too much into who was there.

[Bones]

@Mauss figured the one on our right is Lord.

The other is time travelling Kieran Read.

I thought he looked familiar!

@Bones The right one is Hotham

[Trig]

I had thought that it was Sam Darry left and Noah Hotham standing on a box

Another strike against Jordan, he's a fucking midget.

Hotham is listed at 1.81cm, so not quite 6ft

Must make Jordan about 4 ft 11 in that photo

I guess this makes the most sense? The box-thing's a little weird, though.

too slim to be Lord?

Lord is in another photo, different shirt and different hair.

In another photo, Hotham can be seen wearing the hat and shirt-combo. Still a very strange picture, though. Probably just a confusing perspective through angle and focal length.

We desperately need some rugby.
