He used to be allocated to my club in Wellington when he first made the Hurricanes. Needlesss to say we never saw him other than for the odd Junior's preseason registration date when they (allocated players) were forced to attend. Interesting that he is being allowed to play club rugby in Christchurch when we all thought the reason he did not play any games for my club were beacause his HBRFU contract has a clause that he play club rugby of a club affiliated to the HBRFU.

This is from a Hawke's Bay Today article about tomorrow's club rugby:

Havelock North will miss the services of former Hurricanes, Magpies and Southland Stags loosie Tony Lamborn who is in Wellington providing injury cover for the Melbourne Rebels team.

@98blueandgold So the two guys (Renton & Cridge) signed out of school when they were 19 by the Canes have now moved to Canterbury.

This better not happen with Flanders aswell.

@Canes4life Flanders would make a great replacement for Read

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Cridge is from Christchurch originally, and Renton is only there to attend Uni.

Goodness, the thought of the last Rebels player to turn out (thankfully only briefly) is still etched in my memory. Wonder what ever happend to Luke Rooney once he left?

I have some bad memories of the Rebels coming back from a similar start during the Hammett era.

[Machpants]

That's so ooooooo good

Rebels have made 5/27 tackles

19%

Every time I see Judd I feel like I’m watching rugby in 1989 - that’s a full late 80s haircut.
