That signing is pretty funny considering I've used Dominic Bird as a joke on more than one occasion.
I'm thinking Dominic will take the place of Liam Mitchell.
I'ts also going to be hilarious when Blackwell and Dominic partner up in the line-out.
Note: he's also signed for the Wellington lions.

Faced a challenge to unseat any of Messrs Cridge, Parsons, Evans (B), or IWL for a spot in his home province squad! Maybe they are all holding contracts for 2021 which sort of shuts out any others coming in?

Le'aupepe needs to be replaced too.
The Canes having two 2 m+ locks. Who would have thought...

You didn't need to add that, it goes without saying.

@toddy massive improvement on what we have currently. Hope we don't lose IWL because of it though, wish it was at the expense of Blackwell.

He's actually had a few starts this year so I expect you wont lose him.
Will be hilarious next year when Blackwell keeps starting over one of Bird or IWL.

@nepia this is true. Didn't realise he was from the Bay originally.
-
@nepia That was what I was thinking; still a pity he won't play for his home province, though.

It's all good, we got BBBR because he chose Canterbury over the Hawkes Bay.
Maybe our locking spots are full or his Wellington Hurricanes contract is tied into Wellington province contract?
Canterbury and Crusaders, comes to Chiefs who help him regain form and an AB jumper anbd repays them by chasing the $$ overseas, returns and signs with Wellington (franchise and province) - the dude is as dead to me as Jason Taumalolo.

@canes4life No A Savea?
@higgins no Ardie yet. Hoping the big three of Ardie, Perenara and Barrett confirm their stay. But all of them leaving can't be ruled out either with the league rumours and the 'Jordie to the Blues' rumour.
A recent article suggested the Canes had signed up 28 players for 2022. With no media release actually citing who those players are.

@canes4life They forgot Asafo Aumua, who is signed through to 2023.

@stargazer IWL conspicuously missing. They must be waiting for the next schoolboy superstar that mysteriously turns up in Wgtn club rugby.

@higgins I like what you did there. I'm pretty confident IWL will sign up but who knows.

@stargazer that's true. I've updated the list above.
