    @jaycee he was very good for a long time. Some apparent scrumming issues, but generally a real stalwart of nz rugby. Cheers for the contribution, croczilla.

        The couple of reports I’ve read don’t mention if the international retirement is with immediate effect, or after this season.

        Anyone got any more info?

        This quote suggests to me that the international retirement is immediate, but it's not 100% clear:

        Early in the New Year I made a call to All Blacks coach Steve Hansen and informed him of my decision to make myself unavailable for national selection.

          Good move by Wyatt. Leaving on his terms. He showed great courage to come back from "Rome-gate", thanks Stuart Dickinson. I think he might have been pushed if he hadn't jumped, but he has given great service to province and country.

            Agree cool letter.

            First observation: he debuted in 2009!? That guy has really hung in there.

            Second observation, his sons are named Sonny Crockett and Emmett Crockett. That family knows how to do bad-ass names.

              Jeez, before he fought his way back to being an All Black regular, that's not exactly an illustrious group of All Blacks on the bottom left...

                Pretty sure it will be immediate, otherwise why bother to state you are going to play for Mako's due to the clash between the NPC and international schedules

                  It is with immediate effect, will finish season with Crusaders and then done there too, but returning to Mako$ to see out his career.

                      Very cool letter and a classy way to go.

                      Wyatt's always been a master of timing - 71 test caps and only three losses (two last year)!

                      Will look forward to seeing him at the Mako - should be a very handy acquisition and replacement for Hames!

                        Good letter and good to see him return home to play - I had no idea he was from Ta$man originally.

                          He comes across as one of the real nice guys. Carved out a really impressive career. Probably turned down some serious coin overseas to stay in NZ. Respect.

                                  @duluth Halanukonuka has gone. Pretty doubtful we'll see anything of Hames.

                                  There was talk that Ross Geldenhuys might also be back this year.

                                      The couple of reports I’ve read don’t mention if the international retirement is with immediate effect, or after this season.

                                      Anyone got any more info?

                                      This quote suggests to me that the international retirement is immediate, but it's not 100% clear:

                                      Early in the New Year I made a call to All Blacks coach Steve Hansen and informed him of my decision to make myself unavailable for national selection.
                                      

                                      Good move by Wyatt. Leaving on his terms. He showed great courage to come back from "Rome-gate", thanks Stuart Dickinson. I think he might have been pushed if he hadn't jumped, but he has given great service to province and country.

                                      Agreed. That could have ended the career of a lesser person. Thankfully it didn't. I was always critical of what seemed to be Wyatt's propensity to give away a needless penalty, but he's been a dependable rock in the pack for a long time now.

                                      Nice of him to step aside with enough time for the coaches to further develop the younger guys coming through.

                                        I always liked Wyatt because he has the best name in rugby, but for me his partnership with Charlie F, coming off the bench together with 20-30 to go, was a massive weapon for the ABs and one that they haven't yet managed to replicate.

                                          Jeez, before he fought his way back to being an All Black regular, that's not exactly an illustrious group of All Blacks on the bottom left...

                                          Who's the guy middle right with his hand on Crockett's knee?

                                          Can't for the life of me remember his name.
                                          Cheers
