    @frugby Can confirm they have promised a bench spot, but that could always change!

    As I say you could be right, but if I know anything about Jamie Joseph, that sounds like a sack of horseshit.

            Heard they are looking for a 3rd 10 as well and are looking for experience in that spot with Dan Hawkins and Baden Kerr on the priority list

                @RugbyGuru Would still get more effort out of these old dogs and at least wouldn’t look like they’re wading through mud like that faleafaga guy

                        this is a conditional?

                          Just AC down there? I can only imagine Dunedin with solar cells, LEDs, electric cars, and computers!

                            This isn’t club footy. ‘Bench spots’ aren’t promised at this level, especially to a winger. JJ promising a bench spot… that would be the day.

                            It can’t just be me that doesn’t really care if Michael Manson is in the squad or not…

                              The same Dan Hawkins you said was going to be in the All Blacks XV in that leaked squad you posted? Hahaha
