@Machpants Italy would be my guess.

Lots of places where an ex-ABs coach could work with far less stress and more money. Pasta or ramen would work easily

Wallabies appear to have no KPIs currently. So chicken parma/prawns could be an option.

I must admit, it would give me a bit of a smile if he went to aus and won the bledisloe.

Good on him, deserves the cash

Oh it's a injury cover for Marx, hopefully he demanded to money for last minute change to life

@Machpants am sure they made it worth his time.

Sam Cane off to Japan and will miss the 2023 Super season.

Have to think that could well end Canes time in black, barring several injuries?

If he isnt here to play Super and make a push for the black jersey, then with Razor there, have to think he'd be looking at a clean slate almost.

Good on him. Think he could do with a break. Maybe he comes bac refreshed and stronger. Also, it gives Tim something to celebrate as wunderkid Dalton now has a free path to the top.

@taniwharugby

I think it is a good idea for Cane to go, get away from Nz and just Play some rugby elsewhere after the final.

It is also a convenient excuse as to why Razor won’t pick him.

Toddy

Better late than never but it’s a good place for Cane to practice lowering his tackling height.

And so it begins ... and - no doubt - more to follow:

From a mates golf course chat with him, Cruden to New York for MLR season, and being pestered by my mate to join our Presidents grade team when he gets back.

mikey07

@mikedogz hey mate random question do you live in Waikato? Just curious how many unions have Pressies grades I know were a dying grade especially here in Wellington

mikedogz

Yeah. I live in the Waikato. We had nine teams this season. A couple of teams left over covid time but new teams have joined.

Bones

What age is pressies in NZ?

mikedogz

Over 35's generally. Anyone younger can play if they play in the pressies spirit. Sons play with father's and grandfathers sometimes.

booboo

Couldn't play pressies.

Notwithstanding health issues and being in my 50s (not that they are unrelated), but just wouldn't know how to regulate whether it was full on, or hold back a touch.

Spose that was the good thing about playing up here on the Sunny Coast. Could keep playing Seniors then Reggies ( Reserves) way into my mid 40s and just playing as hard as I could, until I couldn't
