    He played first five for CBHS and pretty sure he played first five for NZ Secondary Schools. I don't recall him playing there since he left school - not at provincial level anyway.

    Edit: google tells me I'm right - about the first bit anyway.

      Josh McKay played fullback in the NZ School games against Samoa Schools and Australia Schools, and - indeed - first five-eighth in the NZ Schools game against Australia Barbarians Schools.

        Is Samisoni Taukei'aho contracted to the Chiefs for 2020 ,(He should be)He has impressed me every time he has had a run for the Chiefs.He would be a great impact hooker off the bench ,more impact than Polwart in my opinion.If he isn't contracted he wouldn't be the worst pickup for The Blues or Highlanders.

          @Chris Nothing public about his contract for next year. Am hoping the Blues pick him up.

                  @KiwiMurph That's about right, anything more would have been harsh. Nice and fresh to rip into the Crusaders. 😄

                  Prinsep to the blindside and Evans to no 8.

                    A three week suspension will free him up nicely in time to take part in a club match against MSP on June 29. Lack of match play will surely count him out of consideration for any Hurricanes match that weekend!

                        @Canes4life HOBM not playing last week, but are we expecting the team to have a different captain this week then?

                          @Bones is he captain? Apparently according to sources it's the hooker. (will leave him unnamed for now).

                                @Canes4life oh shit, I didn't realise he was an ex Cane. I thought it must be the halfback.

                                  I wonder if something like this will ruin his career, though to be fair I didn't think he was Super quality anyway.

                                      Something similar has not put an end to the career of K Hunt, but then again I suppose the amount of talent available over there probably played a factor in that. The HOBM player/s could consider making a home in the NRL.
                                      In all seriousness all players in the NPC and Heartland championships know they can be tested for drugs so you must wonder why a professional athlete would put his livelihood at stake knowing they could be tested. Complete and utter stupidty. The WRFU ripped up the contract of Losi Filipo so they have set a precedent about those sort of things.

                                          Interesting Josh Timu named in the Otago M10 squad.
                                          Is that a pointer to Highlanders selection 2020
                                          He has been going ok for the SW in SR this season.
