    Interesting article about Jermaine Ainsley, that under the new eligibility criteria he could push for an All Black jersey.

    While it is a nice idea that he could have a re-set. I don't know if he is capable of cracking the All Blacks.

    @southernmann feels wrong potentially playing for a team you've previously played against

    but if someone was going to do it now is the time, props are a bit of limbo, been fine but not world class so a standout season might do it

      He's a mobile tighthead? Don't think we are used to that sort of creature.

          @kiwiwomble Asi is another from St Peters. Rated highly as an outside back.

            I guess we can start looking toward next season

            i guess we can assume everyone else is either still contracted or being negotiated with?

            Collins has been a good reliable squad player, hasn't had may MotM's but also hasn't lost many for us, especially since moving to midfield

            Tokolahi has been a great asset too

            Ben-Nicholas has never really shone, not sure we'll miss him much

            Disappointed Hemino is off, hes a real talent

              @macmanus whoever it is has borrowed Luke McAlister's legs.

                  I don't think it can be unless his legs have grown massively. I can't think of any better alternative, though

                      He's an 19 year old prop - should make the u20 team this year. He looked pretty good last year for the Highlanders U20s.

                          Rohan Wingham. I was sitting next to his parents watching the NZ Schools trial game in 2020. His scrum went backwards that day.

                                    Yep but did it go backwards because of him, or the whole pack, which is often the case.

                                      Wingham made the NZ Schools squad so obviously has talent. I remember him being mobile around the field. The other team had the two best schoolboy props IMO.

                                      Here were the packs:

                                      HADEN XV
                                      1 Rohan Wingham (Kings High School)
                                      2 Aminiasi Toga (St Andrew's College)
                                      3 Harris McRobbie (Rangiora High School)
                                      4 Alan Craig (St Kentigern College)
                                      5 Fabian Holland (Christchurch Boys' High School)
                                      6 Ollie Haig (Otago Boys' High School)
                                      7 Will Bason (St Kentigern College)
                                      8 Te Rama Reuben (St Kentigern College)

                                      WHETTON XV
                                      1 Mason Tupaea (Hamilton Boys' High School)
