    He's gone. Next year the Chiefs are relying on Trask if they can't recruit someone better.

      @Nepia That’s my first reaction as well f%*% that…then after a scone & cuppa….
      Itoje – Let’s not kid ourselves here, that guy’s world class. Who in their right mind wouldn’t even consider having him in their ranks?
      Farrell – A player who tends to take the right options & perhaps a perfect foil for Cruden & ALB. Not a bad player & that’s putting it mildly – guaranteed points.
      -Adds legitimacy to the comp with the question, can these NH heavyweights compete?

      @Magic65 no thanks to either of those twats regardless of their ability. I'd rather have another year like this if it means rebuilding without bringing English internationals in.

              @taniwharugby Falcon and Trask in the squad, Reihana in the colts. Isn't Falcon playing in Japan next year?

              EDIT: Yes he is.

              And with Gatland revealing that Tiaan Falcon is also headed for Japan following this season, their future is Trask – the 21-year-old Bay of Plenty pivot, who has dipped his toes in at this level this year.

                I thought Falcon went alright last year. Shame to lose him. Maybe they're making room for a more experienced player to complement Trask and Reihana? Is Fletcher Smith available?

                  I'm okay with developing a young fella and Trask looks okay at his current level. I'd probably lean more towards Reihana but that's probably just the Waikato in me

                      if we had Itoje, Sinkler and Farrell we win probably half of those games. They are all quality players

                      Yes, massive tools, absolutely no disagreement there. But tools that can fucking play.

                        Fletcher Smith comes off-contract this year; no news about him re-signing with the Canes, yet.

                        Also, if the Canes don't sign him, McClutchie might be a good option. At the start of the 2021 SR season, he'll have 3 years of Mitre 10 Cup under his belt; so more experience than Reihana, but less than Trask's SR experience, obviously.

                        Falcon was very good for a rookie in his few SR games; then came the injuries. It's a pity he didn't get more than a few minutes against the Sunwolves since. It's a shame he's leaving NZ already. Hopefully, he's just going for one or two years, and isn't lost to NZ rugby yet.

                                    can you think of a better place to stash them?

                                    Palmy?

                                      Just collecting dickheads in Hamilton doesn't seem like a good idea.

                                      Oh.
