    I wonder how Tei Walden's achilles injury is coming along? He's been coaching high school rugby.

    I had heard Mauger was coaching High School but i had assumed it was in Chch or something...he might have found his level, McGlashan beat SBHS this for the first time i can remember.

    Jokes aside, he's still young, going back and working his way up might make him a better coach

      How good would that be, getting a win over the coach who would never select you.

                @stargazer that's unfortunate. I'd only assume no other Super side offered him a contract then? Obvs we don't know but man that's disappointing.

                    @mikey07 The Canes didn't sign TBN the past few years, when they could. The Highlanders didn't give him much game time. I forgot what the exact rumours about him were a few years ago (was it low workrate?), that were mentioned as a possible reason for the Canes not signing him. I have no idea, but maybe they are true? I'm not a huge fan of Prinsep, especially if he's blocking Flanders' path, but he's a huge workhorse. I never really understand the criticism he gets on the Fern, apart from that he plays for Canterbury.

                      If TBN signed for the Canes it would be for someone similar like Fifita. As @Stargazer says, Prinsep is an entirely different sort of player.

                        Hate to bring it up, but he was involved in an off field incident. Might be a factor in teams decisions or maybe I'm just reading way too much into it.

                          @stargazer the only thing I’ve seen him do is tackle makes very minimal metres like a certain dwarf lock, TBN brings flair, but I agree if we did have him he would be blocking Flanders so I guess it balances out.

                            @bovidae yeah but they worked really well a few years ago when they were together for the Lions, I suppose the Canes management would make him change his game similar to Fifita and he would be as dynamic.

                              @mikey07 I disagree. The only thing the Hurricanes coaching staff have managed to do to V. Fifita is to change him from a dynamic player who ranged out wide into a one off/two off

                                Yet another uninspiring selection from this mob if true. For the record he is something like 32 years of age and started just 21 of the 47 games for Bordeaux in the last two seasons, averaging something like 40 minutes field time per match

                                        @bobily2 Not surprised, if true. 1) He has committed to Fiji; 2) the Crusaders have several talented backs coming through and 3) he hasn't been quite the same as before his serious knee injury.

                                          Sadly, a born and raised Fijian moving from a NZ franchise to an Australian franchise, explains the mildly surprising (to me) selection of an NZ-central-contracted player in the Fijian national team.
