@sparky how did Reiko go .?
Saw this in Irish Independent:
Making his first start after last weekend’s soft launch against a second-string Harlequins side at home, Rieko Ioane got a proper introduction to European rugby, and the All Black rolled up his sleeves and got stuck into the trenches, where James Ryan was immense. It was that kind of night.

@Steven-Harris Reiko did his shift for Leinster. Nothing massively flash, but made all his tackles and put in some carries in a forward-dominated game on a cold December night in Leicester.

@sparky Great to hear, I’m hoping his time up North gives him the opportunity to resurrect his All Black career next season , I knows he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but for me he’s too good athlete to be overlooked especially given lack of midfield stocks in NZ Rugby

I think with Barrett, Tupaea, LF and Proctor there, Ennor more than likely back in the mix and Higgins being mentioned Ioane will struggle quite a bit to get back in at his age. He's already on the outer and not getting any younger.

@Duluth said in NH Club Rugby:
Age? He's 28. The players you listed are 28, 26, 26, 26 & 28
28 is young by AB midfield standards
I was thinking along the lines of outside backs who traditionally are done and dusted before the age of 28.
Even so, it will be tough for him to get back in under the current regime.

Jordan left for Scotland in his early 20s. When he played for Hamilton Old Boys, Sevu Reece was a club teammate, which highlights how long ago that was.
I'm not sure if he made any Auckland or Blues age-group rep teams. BTW, Cam Christie also went to Orewa College, so that shouldn't have been a disadvantage if he was good enough.

Yeah, sometimes, especially when guys leave young, they're just overlooked for not being good enough at the time. A year later he might have got his break.

The Stormers are still unbeaten heading into the Saffer derbies. Dobson investing in local talent start paying dividends. And it look good if you look in what's waiting to come through the pipeline.
