    @Yeetyaah

    Oh I am very aware
    Does not change the fact that Auckland is by far the largest city in NZ

    Wellington like Canberra may be the Capital City of their respective nations
    but are merely provincial towns on a global scale

    Sydney and Auckland are the most world renowned cities in AUS + NZ

    But I appreciate your attempts in teaching me the Geography of NZ
    Save it for the next non Kiwi you encounter on TSF 🤣 🤣

      Don't let this descend into which city is better because some foreign troll is posting.

        Jordie obviously wasn't motivated purely by the money as all media reports had the Highlanders, and then the Blues, offering a bigger contract than the Canes.

          @Jaguares4real so the correct term is being a dick?

          Given we are talking about playing within NZ why does any international perspective matter?

              @Bovidae would be interesting to see how much difference there was between offers. Could imagine the Highlanders had some coin to play with given upcoming changes in their squad. Bet the Blues backs make more than the forwards 🙂

                    Yep, a 3 year deal with NZ rugby but only committing the one year with the Canes. So the writing is pretty much on the wall given BB is off to the blues and Scott would be a madman to leave the Saders.

                    I'm with @Chris, this is lame imo. He is a talent but he's rocks and diamonds at the moment. He hasn't, imo, earned the right to have those sorts of terms in his contract. I guess NZ rugby are looking more and more at contracting arrangements (in addition to pure $$) to keep a wider range of talent in NZ??

                    I guess he could stick with us after 2020, but that seems highly unlikely.

                    @Paekakboyz Yeah very messy this contract.Brothers are mentioned in there are we going to have a scenario where BB takes a sabbatical in 2021,
                    So JB plays with Scott at the Crusaders then transfers to the Blues in 2022.Potential of 3 Franchises in 3 years.

                      @Chris I like your analysis, but can't bring myself to like the post!! 3 franchises in three years would be very lame.

                        The Highlanders would be smart to gift a contract to little-known brother Blake Barrett in the hope it entices Jordie south.

                          I hope he is a cop as he would need some pretty decent work stories around the Chrissy table with his Brothers.

                            Jordie has some cop stories that he could share about Dunedin too.

                                  @Stargazer Thats always a possibility but I think Scott will stay at the Crusaders I can't see him moving.

                                        The Tuggeranong Viking product has progressed through the Brumbies’ ACT Junior Representative grades and Academy structure and will join fellow junior internationals Noah Lolesio and Nick Frost in the squad for 2020.

                                        So after a year or so in the Crusaders academy, Frost hasn't only played for Australia U20 but he also got a Brumbies' contract.
