        Daniel Rona was the player I couldn't identify (seated below Simon Parker).

        Fiti Sa is a poach from Canterbury. He's the other player in that original photo (between Tukuafu and Burr).

            Awesome update.

            I presume Patrick McCurran has a gig somewhere else?

              McCurran is a physiotherapist so maybe the "real job" is his main income. I assume that some players are approached to be in the WTG but decline based on their personal circumstances.

              The Chiefs All Black XV players are back too, in the gym.

                I don't think they ever not back in gym, even when not training with teams, think they still keep up a level of fitness.

                  This is abit of topic but if anyone remembers me asking about a player a few months ago that goes to my sons school who apparently played for the Chiefs…

                  Numi tepulolo That’s his full name if it rings a bell to any of you knowledgeable Chiefs fans.

                          An updated article about Solomon Alaimalo. He had other offers but chose the Chiefs.

                          Also of note:

                          McMillan said their All Blacks were due back on January 24. The All Blacks XV players return on January 9.

                                  Hahaha why y'all acting weird? I just welcomed him back and he said "appreciate you brother." I've always been a huge fan and was gutted when he left.
