I’m sure the Wellington Lions will be keen to sign him up.

Basically McDonald and Roger admitting he was no where near good enough to be in the ABs last year, but maybe this year he will be!
-
@Machpants Yeah, more of a coaches comments article than a proper match report.
-
Jason Momoa at the game today - He might need his Aquaman skills from tomorrow!

Most important sentence of the article:
Neither team suffered any significant injuries in the hitout

@Stargazer Devon Flanders was top draw , got a superb skillset and genuine pace from the back of the scrum

Hope he steps up this year.
If he doesn't grab his opportunity with both hands this year, there is plenty of talent coming through (including the likes of Lakai) that will overtake him if he doesn't perform, especially if he wants that no 8 jersey.
He looks fit and stronger than ever so hopefully he has a dominant year off the back of the scrum.

@Canes4life its a bugger the Canes play Ardie in the 8 jersey , i personally think Flanders has got All Black written all over him , reminds of a young Kieran Read ..

With ABs rested there should at least be a few games where the Canes 8 jersey is up for grabs.
The key for the Canes is to not have handbreaks like Prinsep clogging up loose forward minutes.

Flanders struggled with an injury for most of the 2022 season; that's why he played only 6 matches (2 starts). You saw him getting better during the NPC season (average at the start; excellent at the end), so hopefully he has left whatever was bothering him, behind him.
