@Kiwiwomble Yeah, I posted that in the match thread. Was a bit surprised to read that. Was wondering whether travellers still have to go into quarantine when they arrive in Japan ...

No, for travelers from NZ who are tripled vaxxed.

@Kiwiwomble What a Lad podcast hosted by James Marshall. Pretty decent tbh.

after 4 episode i am well and truly over the "lad" stuff

Long time since I posted in here, think I’ve lost my will to live after watching the Highlanders the last 2 seasons.
Will be interesting to see who the coaching set up is. The success of the 2015 season was built on culture and having a staff who was strong and represented that - followed by players who brought in.
This year the honest fact is we just don’t have the x - factor we had in pass one a Naholo, Fekitoa… we hit the jackpot with these guys who where fringe players in other franchise but seemed to be lured down by Joseph. -

Yes, that's very tedious. And not every guest can be a good bastard. The other bone I have to pick with the podcast is that there's a lot of assumed knowledge - especially when he's talking to former team mates and they use nicknames for other players and the poor listener has no idea who they're talking about because James doesn't explain, when a good host should.
Then again, the latest one with Ajeet Rai was excellent, even though they'd never met before.

@Kiwiwomble Dixon was good value but yes, I'd space them out. Bigger fan of Between Two Beers - better variety of guests too.

@Kiwiwomble yeah in 2021 for instance I took great joy in watching Jona Nareki light up the comp, 2022 will be a fleeting memory in the grand scheme

Enjoyed watching 39-1 Highlanders
Crazy listening to Aaron Smith how Jamie Joseph rang him in 2011,offering him a contract with the highlanders ..Smith was with the Blues wider training squad ..he contacted the Blues out of respect to see if they were prepared to give him a contract ..they wanted to wait until after the NPC ..
..Pat Lam was the head coach ..Toby Morland was one of the halfbacks who was selected in the 2011 Blues squad WTF …
He wasn’t even the number 1 halfback in Otago ,in what world was he ever gonna be better than Aaron Smith ..?
Love to know who was in charge of recruiting for the Blues at that timeThis all happened on Andy Daltons watch who was the CEO of both Auckland and the Blues

@Steven-Harris my memory of early Smith was he wasn't really anything special, looked like a great touch player though. Maybe something like Milo-Harris.
