    @mariner4life Yeah - he'd be carrying probably 20kgs less than Beauden, but might not have the same explosiveness as e.g. a 400 metre runner. More endurance though.

    Offhand, Nick would be my pick to set the NZ record - but, you're right about set-up - could be someone surprising.

    not too heavy. Good aerobic fitness, but also agility, and the ability to perform repeated explosive movements.

        Shaun Johnson might be good in the bronco. Maybe some of the NZ Sevens players like Koroi and McGarvey-Black.

                Handy news

                Tanielu Tele’a is back training on the grass and closing in on a return from a shoulder injury.
                

                Meanwhile i'm sure Beaudie is breathing a sigh of relief that he has the respect of James Parsons.....

                  @KiwiMurph if only they could have talked to blues back Brian Badondo instead.

                        @Duluth who was that just behind Beaudy? Was that Ruru or Nock (I just caught a glimpse)

                        Looks like Ruru. Wow, only 2-3 secs behind Barrett

                                I hope those 20 m, 40 m and 60 m markers were accurate. 🙂

                                        @Duluth I assume he will come into reckoning more in July once Marchant goes back to UK.
