it would be hard to fathom why any New Zealand Super Rugby team wouldn't be interested in talking to Hayne.
Geezus. Surely, NZR won't be tempted to fall for that bullshit and sign a player who's played zero XVs and only wants to be developed at SR level in NZ so he can play for Fiji? I think it's easy to fathom why NZ franchise won't be interested.

nah mate, that'd be like taking a punt on an over the hill Benji Marshall and basing your marketing campaign around it. Before he'd played a proper game of footy.

Oh.FML.

@chris Assuming it's a development deal? His cousin, Ere Enare, is down there (studying at Lincoln?).

@nzzp although at least Benji, if he was good enough, could have played for the ABs

Interesting Article from Rugbypass , Rumour Niko Jones has signed with the Crusaders.He looks like one hell of an athlete but at 18 is he too young for the Riggers of SR ?
I noted during the NZ-Aust schools game that the Aussie commentator mentioned Jones was part of the Crusaders academy. I'm surprised his old man has let him go south but maybe that's a reflection of the current state of the Blues.
Niko would be a no.7 going forward as he looks small for a no.8.

@bovidae I heard that too but think it was a mistake. Tamati Williams has from Akld but don't think jones has.
@98blueandgold yep Williams is at the Crusaders Academy
Jones I don’t think he is -
Rumours about Fletcher Smith going to the Hurricanes seem to be a weird one, the Hurricanes will already have Garden-Bachop for another year next year, and they just signed James Marshall. Unless Garden-Bachop gets a release.

@yeetyaah I can see James Marshall playing more Fullback than first five, especially if they give J Barrett a run at 2nd five. Fletcher Smith will be a smart signing, he is just starting to hit his stride.

Highlanders Facebook page strong hinting Marty Banks is back with the boys. The page is currently featuring at silhouette of Sideshow Bob, with guess who written across it!

@tim Is that the Herald making up a story? Why would any New Zealand Super franchise elect to take a 30 year old Australia with no history in the game?

@southernmann Isn't he under contract until 2020 in Japan?

Pretty sure the seasons are at different times of the year. I can't imagine the players being anyone else.

Interesting on the Allblack site these players not considered for u/20 Development camp in December due to Super Rugby and Sevens commitments Players unavailable for selection due to Super Rugby and Sevens committments: Etene Nanai-Seturo (Counties Manukau), Kaleb Trask (Bay of Plenty), Leicester Faingaanuku ( Ta$man), Billy Proctor (Wellington), Caleb Clarke (Auckland), Scott Gregory (Northland) and Jeriah Mua (Bay of Plenty)
The 50 players have been selected from Mitre 10 Cup, the Jock Hobbs Memorial National Under 19 tournament and New Zealand Secondary Schools team.I know Procter,ClarkeGregory have SR contracts I wonder if anyone else in that list does ?

@chris thought Gregory had only been offered a WTG/Dev squad one, which you'd think would give them the opportunity to go into the other camps?

I would expect Tupaea to be in the Chiefs squad unless there is an age restriction. He coped OK in his first year of M10 rugby. Hopefully Etene Nanai-Seturo replaces his cousin so maybe another contracted player.
Surprised not to see Charles Alaimalo in that list of 50 players even if he didn't have the greatest U19 tournament.
