    He was very highly rated before last year - much like Narawa. Missing in action in 2020. Great to see him back now

      Looks like Lalomilo Lalomilo, perhaps? A giant wing / midfielder.

      @bobily2 Yep, looks like him.

      @Bovidae He was named in the BOP Mitre 10 Cup squad for the 2020 season, but didn't play a single game. So probably injured, or not picked (which I find a bit hard to believe).

          I had mentioned Lalomilo Lalomilo when predicting the 2021 Chiefs squad, more based on his reputation than ever seeing him play.

            The Chiefs will already be running with one assistant coach less than last year, following the departure of Tabai Matson. McMillan confirmed Neil Barnes (forwards), Nick White (set pieces) and Roger Randle (attack) would continue with their same portfolios, while he and David Hill will split the defensive duties, with Hill also continuing his work with the kickers.

            I'm interested if the Chiefs will move to a rush defence, the system that Gatland has always favoured.

              @Bovidae 1/01/1970 must be the default setting. All new players have that as their date of birth. :grinning_face:

              Someone in the Chiefs' media department must be reading TSF as the DOBs of the new players have been updated. 🙂

              I'm still calling Norris' height and weight to be wrong though.

                        @mariner4life that must be why the Black Caps have such a packed schedule the next 6 weeks...

                            @Yeetyaah One of those guys, who's really unlucky. There are a few of those injury magnets in NZ. I really feel sorry for them.

                                I've lost count on how many operations McWhannell has had in the last 3 years.

                                I suppose that means van den Hoven would come into the main squad.

                                  It’s amazing how many players get injured in pre season training.I am an old codger who played in the sixties and I can’t recall losing any players before the season even started.Training of course is on a different level now,but what are the events leading to these injuries.He isn’t the first and won’t be the last.Sad really.

                                      Going by his comments it sounds like complications from an earlier surgery?

                                        A quick check shows that McWhannell had surgery in June last year - patellar tendon debridement. Recovery is usually 6 months.
