    In a not stupid world Makene would be with the Highlanders instead of them bringing over a foreigner.

              I'd prefer they went to the crusaders academy so they could be options for the All Blacks.

                    @ARHS given most are on a min of $20k USD for what 3 months of rugby, seems an easy decision to make for them to earn that instead of maybe a side of beef and some petrol money for thier club...

                      Kiwis:
                      Rob Cobb
                      Morgan Mitchell
                      Fatongia Paea
                      Vereniki Tikoisolomone
                      Drew Wild

                      Very high number of South Africans in that squad. Not surprising, with Heyneke Meyer being the Director of Rugby and Pote Human the head coach.

                            @Stargazer Naikatini must be pushing 40 by now. He is sort of an uncle to the Fijian contingent of my whangai grandkids!

                                @mikedogz Miami! Didn't expect that to be the next addition!

                                It will be interesting to see with at how many teams the MLR will settle, eventually. I can see LA come back with a team and, possibly a team from Hawaii. Boston also seems a spot where you'd expect a team, and maybe another Canadian team? The USA are so big, it makes you wonder whether they'll ultimately end up with, say, four conferences instead of two.

                                        With a name like that you would expect to see him competing at the Taumaranui A&P Shearing Champs or the Open Final of the Golden Shears
