Seems like Stevenson is off to japan
I've just read that. Let's see if there is an official announcement. I agree that I would play ENS at fullback.
The Chiefs would still need another outside back to replace him.
-
Dewes replaces White. Gibbes replaces Filipo.

interesting they cite workload for Filipo stepping down, Maori All Blacks only play 2 games a year

Filipo is also the Waikato coach. I assume that he can now watch all SR games with his Māori coaching/selecting hat on, rather than having two roles.
Gibbes not coaching the NZ U20s is also a blow.

@Bovidae will be the 4th different U20 coach in 4 years

Interestingly, he's absent from this training vid from what I can see

Are the ABs and AB XV players back in training yet? I know that Jacobson is there but he didn't go on the AB tour.

i wouldn't mind if Stevenson goes, he was very poor in 2024 grand final.
And it means we'll get to see Leroy Carter tearing up in Super Rugby
ENS at 15, 11 Carter, Narawa 14

@darylmitchell would you think this is the likely shuffle? Given the log jam at 10, would any of trask, jacomb or dmac be relocated to 15? Not sure how much time trask or jacomb have spent at 15 tbf
-
Trask was used at fullback previously with mixed results. I remember he was exposed under the high ball. That said, either he or DMac would be options at fullback. Jacomb is a 1st 5 only.
-
Please don't play Jacomb at 15.

Jacomb played 15 for Naki when Potroze played 10
And they were poorer for it.
Taranaki also used Slater as a flanker and Lennox as a winger, but what works in the NPC seldom works in SR. My point is that there are better options if you are moving a 1st 5 to fullback. I'd be happy with ENS at 15 and look to sign a new winger if Stevenson gets his release.
