    So, we need a loosehead (Hodgman) and tighthead (Laulala) replacement, and maybe a replacement for James Lay as well. Eklund and Renata might be on the fringe too. Any whispers about signings? Ahio next in line?

    He looked good in his handful of NPC games. Is Hamdahn Tuipulotu still around?

                @Tim

                I think the Crusaders are letting Brewis go because of to many injuries and keeping Calder or Sykes-Martin

                Not sure on why with Akira but it is just a rumour.

                    @Tim isn’t he another player with a netball girlfriend? Maybe it’s just related to her not being in Auckland?

                              Parsons mentioned Jacob Pierce as one of the best scrumaging locks he's played with. Missed opportunity!
