    Anyone think Ardron was going to be as good as he turned out?

      I think you could go back every year at squad announcement time and these 'optimum' XVs are posted. Very rarely do we ever see them on the field.

      What matters waaaay more is players 23-30.

      And those players tend to be involved anyway as injuries are a given throughout a season. Each of the 5 teams will have a larger pool of players involved during the preseason so it will be interesting to see who they are.

          @Bovidae Damn, that's lucky, I would have been Highlanders bound if he was signed on and fast running out of teams to support in Super rugby. 😉

                @Jonty-lean Taukei'aho over Harris. Jacobson to 6. Karpik to bench over Sowakula. Boshier at 8.

                    I’ll be intrigued to see how Cruden goes. He was borderline hopeless for Montpellier. Do the chiefs get a returning gem or Luke McAlister Mk II?

                          @cgrant Just checked. Listed at 1.96 m, I thought he was taller. 2 m locks aren't easy to find but I would have selected Vaa'i myself.

                          Judging by Neil Barnes comments Jacobson is a good bet to be the no.8.

                            @Nogusta That surprises me. When I was at Wesley watching a game in which Vaa'i was playing in I was talking to a local Wesley supporter who was very complimentary about him, saying he had some brains not just athletic ability. He only turns 20 in Jan so plenty of time.

                                    With a scarcity of genuine second-fives around the traps, Alex is well worth watching.

                                          1. Do the Chiefs have designated head on head training sessions? They must be batting above average.
                                          2. I wish they'd f-off with this "clubs" bullshit for Super rugby.
