    @Bones I hope it's not a sign that someone as old as Galu will get a Lions squad position before someone like Caleb Delany who has been with the Hurricanes this year. The non-selection of Hugo Plummer suprises me aswell, unless he's been injured.

        The non selection of Simon Hickey indicates that he must have tumbled remarkedly down the rankings since he was signed for the Lions.

            I stand corrected then. I had thought he had been signed for both the Lions and the Hurricanes. I wonder what ever became of the rumoured signing of Jono HIckey for the Lions that was being whisper about under the breath of those "in the know" down here about this time last year?

                    If true, there goes the gun backline we thought the Poo could field this year with Laumape also unavailable.

                          The Turbos have also signed a few players:

                          Samoan international Michael Alaalatoa is returning to the Manawatū Turbos for the 2020 Mitre 10 Cup season.
                          
                          The Crusaders prop, 28, was among three players the union confirmed had been signed on Wednesday along with former Brumbies midfielder Nigel Ah Wong and Taranaki prop Kyle Stewart.

                                @Yeetyaah That's correct. Lamborn signed for the Stags in December 2019. Not his first stint with Southland. He played for them in 2018 as well. Tokolahi signed with Southland in June.

                                  [Julian] Savea is currently locked in negotiations with Wellington regarding the possibility of playing for the Lions during the Mitre 10 Cup season and said his preference is to remain in New Zealand for the foreseeable future.

                                    That'll help them compete in the 14 team provincial comp which should replace SR in 2021.

                                          Harbour Rugby are seeking expressions of interest for an internship throughout the 2020 Mitre 10 Cup & Farah Palmer Cup competitions in the Performance Analysis space.

                                          This role will work closely with the lead Performance Analyst in a professional rugby environment and will be very much integrated with our flagship teams.

                                          The opportunity is best suited to Post Graduate or Under Graduate students but we welcome all applicants who are interested and can demonstrate they are reliable and committed to the season.

                                          If this opportunity is of interest to you please email Alistair along with a copy of your CV.
