    @mikey07 I have no such problem in venting my frustration at them! By the way it's Axemen v Wainui Pressies this weekend (weather and ground availability permitting) so might run into you up in the Isherwood Lounge after the game!!!!!

        @mikey07 unfortunately didn’t kick on from a promising test start with the A.Bs and some solid form in 2016/17. Wish him all the best.

              Shame, had always hoped for big things when he burst onto the scene.
              But just seemed to slowly get worse, then became a liability with giving away penalties.

                Wasps are making a habit of signing ex-All Black duds. Is there a quota at that club or something?

                  His debut against Argentina was fantastic, some real wrecking ball stuff with great pace too. What happened to that player ?

                      @canes4life I think having to change his game and move away from his natural game didn’t help, having to play structured didn’t suit him

                          The coaching staff should shoulder the blame for that. Trying to get him to play a tight game when he was dynamic running the outside channels. He was not even considered good enough to make the bench for the Hurricanes in the end which is saying something when the flagbearer for his position was R. Prinsep.

                              I think it's a great move. Learn some quite different styles of play earning his keep in a slog season for a few years. Come back and become the Kaino we'd hoped for a RWC cycle.

                                      @bones Yeah great thinking mate. Who knows, with the shortage of specialist 12s in the country, we may even see Francis Saili return to NZ rugby to potentially win his spot back in time for the 2023 world cup too....

                                          @bones Yeah great thinking mate. Who knows, with the shortage of specialist 12s in the country, we may even see Francis Saili return to NZ rugby to potentially win his spot back in time for the 2023 world cup too....
