Marchant is relishing being back at training after individual work during lockdown. His deal ends on July 1 so he is hoping to cram in as much as he can though he admits the non-stop preparation is unusual.

That's enough for 3 last games for us.

Hopefully he can convince Quins to let him finish out the season because our midfield depth isn't that great.

I hope they are in contact with Toeava. He was playing really well but Clermont didn't renew him because of his age (34).

There were rumours he was signing with other French clubs but I don't think that has happened yet. The virus might make a return home attractive

he left 8 years ago, after six seasons. And still only 34 - was an amazing player to watch. Just imagine what he could have done under Leon and the current crowd

[KiwiMurph]

@Duluth now that would be cool.

[MN5]

Has he finally decided which position he's best at or is he still just a better version of Marc Ellis ?

[Stargazer]

There are rumours that Toulon is interested in Toeava.

I'm still interested in Toeava. Freakish for the Blues

@Duluth That would be a sweet signing. He'd still add quite a bit to the team, even at 34.

The wingers would enjoy playing alongside him. He's usually good for a try assist or two each game.

He'd fit the mould for the Highlanders right now.....

[African Monkey]

@Bones Ooh he might be a bit too young?

@Bones You Wellington fuckers should actually be on my side.

When did you last get a challenge? QUITE a few years ago.

Because NZ Rugby has implemented a system that encourages institutional raci... err... tribalism!

Useless fluffybunnies!
