Exodus 2018

@kiwimurph Stuff says it's two years.

It's a shame he didn't stick around until the RWC 19 and cash in then. The AB machine will replace him in due course but it would have saved Shag and Co the hassle until then

[Chris B.]

Not cool, Lima. Not cool at all!

When does Cruden's contract finish?

[kiwiinmelb]

Big loss but at the same time I wasn’t that convinced he was that great a test 10 , not saying he wasn’t either but jury was still out a bit for me .

But you don’t want to go losing the next in line all the same .

It was interesting just how little development time Sopoaga got last year. I know Barrett is relatively new and needs time in the saddle, but usually the selectors try harder to develop the next guy simultaneously.

2020

[Stargazer]

By the way, Sops' move hasn't been confirmed by Wasps yet. Nor by Sopoaga himself.

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer

Rugby Pass broke the news and Sopoaga's depature will be confirmed Thursday morning.

We lost Nick Evans, we survived. Next man up

Sopoaga was very disappointing in 2017. Pity for highlanders fans but for the ABs there’s Mounga. McKenzie might come good st 10 too.

Bryn Gatland to kick the winning goal in the 2019 WC final. It has been foretold.

Is he qualified for any other countries?

[Tim]

@nepia I certainly hope not!
