    @Machpants I thought it was an interesting perspective from an AB tough guy. Very 'new age' ... and having a boy in sport it really resonated. Focus on the fun and mateship, and if they love it, they're more ilkely to do what it takes to go to whatever level they can go to

        I did like the line you quoted tho, having my oldest boy 15 (of 4) and entering that whole time of boy>man

        I work at a primary school and my thoughts about that are as long as the kids get through to the other end liking school it's a win - cos if they turn up at secondary school hating school, you're fucked!

          I believe Olmstead's time with the Blues is up and he's moved back to Australia.

          I see he's gone back to the Newcastle Falcons

              @Machpants Who would've thought that a squad without a centre (at Super Rugby level) would have problems at centre!

                      It's a bit early for that I think.

                        Just a (genuine) centre will do. Although TTT would be good,

                              Or was it half-back, I lose track.

                                  These are some of the unsigned Super Rugby halfbacks for 2020:

                                  Ere Enari
                                  Bryn Hall
                                  Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi
                                  Jonathan Taumateine

                                  Not sure if Folau Fakatava hasn't been re-signed by the Highlanders.

                                  Blues have two NZ U20 trialist halfbacks in their colts team, Brad McNaughton and Taufa Funaki.

                                    Another pressing question is who is going to replace Nanai?

                                      Sounds like Matt Duffie will be available for the next game:

                                      The imminent return from injury of outside back Matt Duffie may help MacDonald's options here as the coach prepares for a match against the Highlanders at Eden Park after this weekend's bye.

                                        @Tim Maybe Jordan Trainor as well. He was supposed to go on the Auckland trip to Aus but wasnt quite 100%

                                          @Nogusta Thanks for the info. Would be great to have another decent fullback option available.
