@canes4life Is Armstrong available for the Wellington this year or has he already gone as that might give an insight to where is going to end up, though surprisingly he hasn’t played club rugby in Wellington.
@mikey07 Armstrong plays on the opposite side of the scrum to Franks so not sure him leaving will necessarily mean Franks has signed.
-
Looking at the Cantab squad it's interesting not to see Owen Franks in the squad. I believe he's back in New Zealand so maybe he will suit up for Wellington or another province in the Canes catchment...

Maybe Ta$man has opened the chequebook again?

@canes4life Sorry should’ve used a comma I’m atrocious for punctuation I was generally interested if Armstrong was going to play a part in the NPC before he leaves, then I ranted on about Franks.

@kiwiwomble Well they do need all the help they can get after their pathetic campaign last year, which includes an over the hill Naholo.

WE beat Auckland though, that's all that counts for 2020.

Jack Debreczeni is a massive pick up for Canterbury,can see him being the back up to Mounga in the Crusaders..would have loved to have seen Jack back at the Taniwha but happy to see him back in NZ Rugby ..a class act on the field and a good bugger off it as well.

1.30pm kickoff Arnold Rae Park Kaitaia. -
Sounds like Southland have signed young Otago winger Michael Manson.
Paul Dwyer mentioned it on the ODT rugby chat.
He is very quick.
