    They'll probably sign a non-eligible saffa player as replacement.

      @Yeetyaah And then he leaves again without playing because of an injury?

        Slade McDowall as a backup to Kirifi. Hugh Blake is another option (assuming they want a no.7).

              Jeez not looking that flash next season, now the positive gives Kirifi a chance to shine. I was kinda hoping they’d have a loose forward trio of Savea Kirifi and Evans.

                @mikey07 we can swap you Tony Lamborn for Murphy Taramai and that will give a player can play at 7 at a drop

                  @Steven-Harris Taramai is out for several months with a broken ankle.

                  Evans can play at 7, too. Maybe Flanders could get some early game time at 8.

                            @Jonty-lean Only for Ardie, I think. Taramai will not miss too many games and isn't a starter anyway. Probably enough players (either on development contracts or not) training with the Canes during preseason. Would be great to know who they are!

                                @Canes4life I've always trouble recognising players (other than Magpies and regular starters) without seeing their faces, but the fourth looks like Jamie Booth.

                                  there's a turn around and bend over joke here, but I'm not going to make it.

                                    @nzzp I probably wouldn't understand the "joke" anyway ( 😉 ), but I meant "not recognising" from one still image like the one above.

                                      Article in RugbyPass - I think herald picks them up in a few days. Raises some interesting points, like WTF have they picked up random no-name SA midfielder for. That is NOT a 2m+lock FFS!

                                      "There’s a reason why middle-of-the-road 10s have flourished at the Highlanders, and it’s partially because Aaron Smith is capable of serving up ball on a platter, courtesy of the side’s industrious forwards."

                                          I'd definitely put Nonu in there instead of Laumape; and Andre Taylor instead of Jordie Barrett.
