          Thought that Shields defence was very good last year, and his work rate was up there. Outplayed Dixon and others.

              Yeah, probably hits a little harder...but the trade off being those massive mammary hands.

                          Excitement is in the eye of the beholder quite obviously.

                            This would be a big loss if he decides to go. Depth at six and eight at test level is not great, can't afford to lose Squire.

                              I read some of the french sites, it was extremely vague, did not at all strike me as remotely a done deal.

                              I think squire would be crazy to go now, he could easily cement a spot in the 23.

                                  One of the loyal players who kept fighting for an All Blacks jersey and it paid off last year. Pity he has re-signed for just one year. I guess that may have to do with whether he's named in the AB squad for the Lions tour, although it's hard to imagine he will not be selected.

                                    @Stargazer for the Crusaders game? I reckon he's a fair shout. But for the tests? He's in a 3-way fight for a spot, i can't see them picking 3 opensides, so unless injury strikes, i can very easily see him watching the whole thing on TV

                                      @mariner4life Ardie isn't more than a bench 7 at this stage, and if it's true they're prepping him for the reserve no. 8 spot as well, then I can easily see Todd in the squad. I guess it depends a bit on the size of the squad.

                                        I wonder if his thinking about only signing next year is that he will know then what his chances of the 2019 RWC will be, so either sign on again, or bail and take the cash with the inevitable pre- RWC exodus

                                          @Stargazer for the Crusaders game? I reckon he's a fair shout. But for the tests? He's in a 3-way fight for a spot, i can't see them picking 3 opensides, so unless injury strikes, i can very easily see him watching the whole thing on TV

                                          Yeah, a three way fight where he isn't going to beat out Cane for the starting spot, and he isn't going to beat out Ardie for the bench (impact) spot.

                                          Hell of a player and will do a job if selected, but I can see why he wouldn't sign long-term right now.
