Bring in the young guy who has plenty of years ahead of him

Hardly the next future superstar though

[Canes4life]

Can someone on here confirm where the AB announcement is taking place on Monday? Was it Sumner?

Crusaders coaches trying to sabotage the Blues squad

Serious or trolling?

[chchfanatic]

@Chris pretty sure it’s not at St Leonard’s. It’s in chch but not sumner

No Hoskins in the squad

Well that's bullshit as one of the best players this year

Ah ok I thought it was at St Leonard’s

@Machpants

If that’s the case, he could be running out for England in 15 months time

Are you sure of your sauce?

[sparky]

@Frank So has Alex Hodgman.

[Tim]

If Robertson pulls any tricks ...

[DaGrubster]

@Frank qualified through his mother, hasn’t played for the ABs for nearly 2 years now. 3 year stand down period.

If he isn’t named on Monday, I bet his agent will be looking out for an English country estate for his boi’s new crib

Sititi showed today that he isn’t yet ready. Just a question of more experience.

[DaGrubster]

@pakman

He is only 21. Plenty of time for him to develop and get more experience if he misses out this time.

He certainly has put his marker down this year.

[pakman]

if one asked the question of who in back five of pack Stern Vern would pick from other franchises to replace Blues incumbents, I’m not sure there’d be anyone.

[Tim]

So when is Chris Lendrum going to go on podcasts and say that they are desperate to get Ioane back from Japan ...

Try at get him some game time at 6 or 7 too.

Ardie and Hoskins have the 8 jersey between them on lock for a whale.
