I wonder if Smith is lost to NPC as well. He has yet to establish himself but was in the HB squad.

Blair Ryall taking up a full time contract in Japan with Toyota Verblitz. Southland have released him so he can do so.

Who?

[Higgins]

@booboo Bruce Robertson's grandson. He made the Counties Academy a couple of years back but can't remember if he ever made it into their NPC squad.

[Bovidae]

Yes, he did play for CM. A lock/6 who was also in the Chiefs U20s.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae yeah came off the bench a few times and maybe a start?

Good luck to him. Didn't really get a chance to show if he do a job for the ABs, go for the money

I’ve always rated Stevenson and would have had in my AB side but as soon as the ABs brushed him off, this was inevitable. Good luck to him, the sort of talent we shouldn’t have let go so easily IMO.

Quite a bit better than James Lowe, enough said.

It's disappointing that Stevenson didn't get more chances when a dirtbag like Reece who has a number of mediocre tests and has managed to play plenty.

Shame. Would strengthen NPC and Super Rugby.

I don't think that's true at all.

But, I think they were both unfairly overlooked for the ABs.

Yes, some good news in this thread.

[Chris B.]

@KiwiMurph That's interesting.

Definitely, doesn't sound like he's coming back with the intention of making a bid for the ABs this season - if ever.

Draw a line through his name.

[KiwiMurph]

@Chris-B I think it's for the best to be honest
