Promising first five Zarn Sullivan is being chased by two provinces , Ta$man and Waikato are chasing Sullivan who has not been signed by Auckland at this stage

Sullivan would be the same age as Reihana, and they both can't play 1st 5. Then there is Fletcher Smith, who will be the Waikato pivot. Unless he is leaving?

Ta$man have lured a couple of Super Rugby guns south ahead of their Mitre 10 Cup title defence.

Crusaders and All Blacks wing Sevu Reece, and Blues flyer Mark Telea, will play for the provincial champions this year.

Lewis also confirmed midfielder Kieron Fonotia and hooker Quentin MacDonald had returned to New Zealand and would return to the Mako for the 2020 season.

Former Crusader Fonotia, 31, left New Zealand after the 2016 season and has been earning his coin playing for Welsh sides Ospreys and Scarlets.

MacDonald, also 31-years-old, played for the Crusaders, Chiefs and Blues in the past, and amassed 78 caps for Ta$man between 2007 and 2015.

@Stargazer faaaark... @Nepia check this out, you'll love it!

The Chequebook Invitational XV pick up an AB wing and his potential understudy.

Where is @Chris-B these days?

[Bovidae]

@Steven-Harris mentioned this rumour. Reece is officially DEAD to me now!

[Yeetyaah]

Ah fuck Sevu, not phased about him leaving. Wonder why Telea would go that far south though.

I'd say he would have heard good things from Leon

Ta$man must be filled with fatties with the amount of sausages they apparently eat.

@Yeetyaah Think North Harbour had a big financial deficit. Might struggle this year with a depleted squad.

I believe that Mako is both plural and singular - like sheep?

Are you an Aussie and mean these:

I remember an Aussie telling me that his Dad worked on sheeps. I laughed.

[taniwharugby]

@Snowy no, I is a good 20km form seeing any of those (well much smaller ones at least) further to see bigger ones

[Yeetyaah]

@Snowy yeah that was my point. You don't put an s on the end of a Māori word to make it a plural as a isn't the Māori alphabet.
