    holy fuck some of you need more hobbies. The rugby threads are just guys trying to suss out fringe players from social media posts.

      Skipwith-Garland may possibly be training with the Chiefs. From van de Hovens instagram.

          @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.

                                Seventy nine. Four games for Waikato in 1964.
                                Didn’t have medial ligaments in those days.

                                    The Chiefs are set to revert to a co-captaincy model for their 2021 Super Rugby season in order to ease the workload on All Blacks skipper Sam Cane.

                                    After eight years of co-captains, Warren Gatland decided to move away from it in his first year in charge in 2020, when he gave Cane full responsibility last season.

                                    But, with Cane having since been elevated to the All Blacks captaincy as well, interim Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan told Stuff they had to be wary of not overburdening their talismanic openside flanker, so are looking to promote another leader.

                                    With it common for a forward-back split in the co-captaincy, All Blacks Brad Weber and Anton Lienert-Brown loom as prime candidates, though McMillan even noted they may look at someone who’s not even a regular starter, to have someone who’s likely always on the park at the end of a game.

                                    A decision will still likely be a few weeks away, with February 1 the date Super Rugby clubs welcome back their All Blacks, who are allowed to play 40 minutes of one pre-season match.
