    @bones thanks much. Rings a bell now. A man as angry as him should have been a halfback.

      @mikey07 he's about two thirds legs so he'd probably get charged every time.

        The radio commentators said during the Hurricanes v Crusaders game that he was yapping all game - including at the ref, so he'd fit the halfback role in that respect very well haha.

          He's the definition of all talk and no trousers. Goes missing in tough games and does one or two highlight reel plays per season, tops.

              Lack of competition I suspect, not a huge number of great 12s in the country. It's why I keep beating the David Havilli at 12 drum. That and I like 12s that can kick.

                For a guy who apparently has never done it before, Havili was pretty bloody clutch on the weekend. I’ll admit that I was sitting there thinking ‘that’s a good piece to have in an AB squad’

                  Am I reading too much into Chris Eves' comment on this instagram post, or did he just let slip that Vince Aso has signed with a Japanese club? Wouldn't surprise me at all btw, considering he's not getting any game time (that might be a chicken-and-egg thing).

                  christianoevez: that looks small compared to @whalaholo12 ring he just bought? you're going to have to get a bigger one when you get to Japan now? 💴💴💴 🤑🤑 what you reckon @nykalat ? 🤔 p.s congrats my guys 😘❤❤❤

                        @kiwiinmelb if he can unleash Tedesco closer to the ruck it could be an inspired recruitment

                              Is Ethan Roots any good, he has signed a short term deal with the Ospreys. I was just wondering if he was worth signing longer term. Thanks in advance.

                                @davies Hi, welcome to the Silver Fern!

                                Tbh, I had totally missed the news of his signing with Ospreys.

                                I find it hard to answer your question. He has been in the Crusaders environment for a year, but he only played in one game (off the bench) and wasn't re-signed. If I remember it correctly, he was only in the squad because of injuries (and players leaving). No doubt, he'll have learned from that experience, but he's little experience at Super Rugby level.

                                Maybe there's someone on the Fern who remembers his games for North Harbour. He has played about 20 games for the province (2 seasons).

                                    @davies Quality player. Should suit the tighter forward game up north. Effective carrier and tackler.

                                      Good bit of business by the Ospreys I think. Clever signing.
