Half back replacement in the wtg maybe could be Urquhart and McClea. Maybe they'll be in for an injury

This is from the article about Mackintosh:
Mackintosh was unwanted at Super Rugby level but was dealt a further hammer blow when he was advised by his home province Southland that there would not be a spot available for him in the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup squad. The loosehead prop says he was initially offered a contract at 50 percent of what he was earning the previous year, which he accepted. Before it was finalised the Stags decision-makers revised their offer which Mackintosh says was then set at minimum contract value. Mackintosh says he accepted that offer before being told by then Stags coach Hoani Macdonald told Mackintosh he wouldn’t be selected in the 2016 Stags squad.Is there a story behind this? Was his form dropping that far or did he have a falling out with the coach?

dont know about the latter
he never really reached the levels someone of his size and experience would have been expected too, given the financial troubles southland have been through it might just have been a value proposition and having an AB cap probably put a premium on him southland rarely saw

The odt did the positions, they weren't named as that position, Boyle and Koroi may end up playing some fullback and Collins into centre. Imaginr if our injuries weren't inured, we would be a real force to be reckoned with

Don't get too carried away. The 1st XV is handy and would be handier if all your Bedeans and St Andrews guys were available, sure, but "a real force to be reckoned with" is a stretch when compared to the Auckland, Wellington, Ta$man and Canterbury squads.
