          How much does it cost to bring a coach across from Australia...

            An interesting story in the Southland Tribune that Sevu Reece is considering playing for Southland this season. Would seem a stupid signing if he is just going to play for the All Blacks. On the flipside, it could mean he is likely to go overseas and Ta$man is letting him go, instead of Tavatavanawai, who has also been runoured to be joining Southland. The publication also talked ablut Byron Smith's first game in Southland club rugby.

                That is hilarious. Even though it is real it feels like a wind-up.

                  Six games in four years for Ta$man. Tavatavanawai was also rumoured to be going to Southland. Wonder if this cleared some money for him to stay at Ta$man now.

                    @SouthernMann Could also be that someone said a Fijian winger from Ta$man is signing for Southland and everyone just assumed Tavatavanawai?

                    Ala Mark Telea signing for the Highlanders.

                            Always interesting how few players Westlake seem to get into the North Harbour sides each year despite absolutely dominating at schoolboys level. Plenty of reasonable explanations why, it's just curious that it doesn't seem to affect other similarly successful schools around NZ.

                              you do have to wonder if this is the same thinking that got Southland into trouble in the past...are they actually going to get a return from reece? he's almost certainly going to be with the AB's, and unless the highlanders are looking at him i cant see the wider benefits of strengthening connection to the region

                                @Kiwiwomble pretty sure when they play for the ABs, NZR reimburses thier NPC salary, they are more on the books for the marketing side of things than boots on the park.
