I am hearing that Hawkes Bay may have snared 2 big signings
Isaia Walker-Leawere from Wellington and Vince Aso from Auckland .,might be one for you Stargazer to follow up..!.
Got this from a pretty good source ...that would give the Magpies a decent battery of locks@Steven-Harris Can you guys stop taking our players you got a production line up there don’t need our players

I am so rapt to hear this. I struggle to understand why both have been repeatedly overlooked for Super rugby, and hope they can be contracted for 2020.

Listening to the club rugby round-up, apparently Jack Grooby is "gone for the season" with a knee injury. Not sure whether that is just the club season or the NPC as well.
His club, Stoke has recruited a Welsh halfback - former Wales U20 player - Declan Smith - who the Mako will doubtless be looking at. @MiketheSnow

In other bad news, NZs oldest rugby club, Nelson - is only able to field a 17 man team this weekend. I think they were still beating one of the Marlborough clubs at halftime!

Not heard of him, but has had U20 honours.

According to an article in the Hawke's Bay Today, Isaia Walker-Leawere has signed a 3-year contract with Hawke's Bay.
@Stargazer As long as he stays at the Canes I'm not too fussed on that. I think he will be an All Black in no time anyway so will probably only have his services for a year. Does that mean he is playing for Hawkes Bay this year?

@Canes4life Yes, he'll be a Magpie for 2019-2021.
@Stargazer that leaves Wellington with only one lock - James Blackwell (and he isn't even a lock). Unless they have managed to sign locks from outside the region - highly doubt it though.
