Paul Dwyer has just mentioned on ODT rugby chat that Thomas Umaga-Jensen might be out for the season. He said that he may have done his ACL on the weekend.
This kid just can't catch a break.
@southernmann damn, yeah hopefully it's not too long. Or hope he can play come the end of the comp

some weird selections

@macmanus did you mean to put that in the match thread?

seems lucky to get off, found in car, in gear and having "crashed" into a parking meter but managed to convince them he was not intending to drive. I was always if you're in the drivers seat with the engine running then you will be,may be considered as driving

That’s not good news!

@stargazer ouch, i only saw the 3 minute highlights, was it that bad?

@kiwiwomble Yeah, it was the most deserved red card I've seen for a while! Standard punishment, too (50% reduction).
-
thats good news, very happy to hear that, would love to see him put a little pressure on the AB 10's after a couple of good domestic seasons
-
Ioane doesn't say what his plans are for 2023 though. He has only signed with the Chiefs for 2022.

@bovidae might depend on how well he goes, i hope he hasn't given up on the AB's, might be planning on a more long term decision at the end of next year

I'm guessing that was all part of the motivational plan by his new employers. As in that they will give him every support and opportunity to reboot his career and the rest is up to him. Obviously they would be gambling slightly that he would repay their faith.

@crucial and its looking good for the chiefs if he can keep building on how he's playing for Otago, looks like he had a real wake up
