    @Chris depends how pedantic we are about the word "picked." He was selected as an injury replacement, would that not mean he was picked?

    Trained with the squad didn’t play so if is how you look n do it.
    Not an AB as he wasn’t capped.
    Picked to train.

    Should never have been picked, even to train. Created the wrong impression

    Not digging up the Fihaki malarkey. Just noting my sadness we didn't get to see a bit of Etene Nanai-Seturo at the highest level. Exciting player for Sevens and XV...

    Does it matter whether he was "picked" or 'picked'? The relative pecking order was shown.

    Following his departure as All Blacks head coach in January 2026 after a performance review, Scott Robertson has been linked with potential coaching roles in Europe and elsewhere. While speculation exists regarding his next move—including potential interest from Newcastle (potentially in a director of rugby role) or clubs like Harlequins—no official appointment has been confirmed.

    @Canes4life Wasn’t this sort of known late last year that he was probably going to go when Newcastle started poking around.

    There were definitely murmurs he was off.

    He's an injury waiting to happen, fair enough he'd want to cash in while he can

    Are there any examples of players coming back in their prime after leaving early in their careers? I can't think of any.

    Leon? Would you consider Jordie?

    Sabbatical. Lucky Luke perhaps?

    Not convinced Luke came back better. Was Leon also on a sabbatical? I can't remember.

    No Leon wasn't on sabbatical, it was really presabbatical days. He reckoned when he came back, the break was what got him going with less physicality etc in Japan game (in those days).
