    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.

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

                  https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/130703073/solomon-alaimalo-returns-to-chiefs-as-replacement-player-in-a-great-place-after-mental-health-break

                  Also of note:

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

                                    There is the opportunity to look for a specialist no.7 to replace PGS. There are already enough 6/8s in the squad, and Boshier only signed on for 2023. Cane isn't getting any younger as well.

                                      Yep I can understand McWhannel moving,(c'mon down to Canes), but kind of agree this is more about after WC when Lurch goes? Nothing like a couple of 2m+ locks in the squad.

                                        Boshier's brother apparently doing well at Saitama.
