@Chris He was in town (Chch) recently. And then he went to Wellington, did some coaching with Terence Hepetema there, and then back to Auckland. And then he tried to get back to England, but miscommunication from Air NZ made him miss his flight. That was on 16 June according to his twitter. I think he arrived in England a few days later.
Looks like he is leaving Leicester

@Chris way way way too tall.
yeah, fair call. 3cm shorter than Ardie according to Wikipedia. So Ardie could be a lock, while Jordan covers 6 or 8?
-
@Chris It's still uncertain whether he'll leave Leicester, but whatever is the case, he's unlikely to be signed as injury cover for Grace. Apart from practical stuff, such as coming back to NZ and again going into isolation, he hasn't played for months and probably hasn't trained properly for a while either. It would be great if it were possible, but unless he never left NZ in June, and has been training his ass off the last few weeks, I don't see it happening.

Can anyone confirm what happened to Ethan Blackadder? He was named in the team to play all week but Sione Havili started on the blindside. Terribly unlucky for Ethan if he has injured himself at training.
Graham?

@Cantab79 I can't - but, I have a very vague memory that Ethan might have missed a game for the Mako (a couple of seasons back) with a migraine headache.
And that could be complete bollocks with me confusing him with someone else.
But, if I got a quiz question, "Did Etahan miss...", I'd answer "yes".

Hurt his shoulder at training

@Yeetyaah I agree, Drummond is light years away from both Smith/Perenara

Fetuli Paea (Marist)
Andrew Makalio (Grammar TEC)
Isi Tu'ungafasi (Grammar TEC)Wellington
George Bower (Avalon)I couldn't find team lists from Ta$man clubs.

I had forgotten about Mataele. Just shows the depth the Crusaders have in the outside backs.
