lol i saw this yesterday. lots of words for a dude that was never good enough, then couldn't stay in one place, and is now scratching around for a contract.
Did Ngani make that himself?

i don't think it's accurate to say Razor changed his mind on the eligibility, he always just wanted a broader case-by-case approach where guys who'd gotten say 30 or more caps (ie Mo'unga) & been playing in Super for many seasons prior would be given special exemptions to still represent ABs while playing over in Japan, no?

Thought he approached Faingaanuku too, plus Frizzell. Not sure your narrative fits.

Frizell does for that criteria though.
I think the Fainga’anuku situation was different and more about getting him home/asking the age old question of why a young player had left etc.

There some comments from Robertson about overseas players. Sounds like he has been told to pull his head in. Lots of his usual management jargon but basically his fine with the current setup
He's a bit dim so I expect him to push for overseas players agin in a few months.. get told off.. reiterate his support for the current system.. repeat..

Cool. He can now concentrate on developing the talent available to him. Just hope he hasn't wasted a year.

How inspiring for those first fives who, you know, actually PLAY in New Zealand !

“There’s always a degree of contact but that’s good coaches and good people doing their jobs properly. That happens with players that are past their playing careers. That’s the nature of the All Blacks
so, talk to guys overseas not eligible. Don't talk to guys in NZ who are eligible. Good coaching. Gotcha

Robertson's the guy whose girlfriend dumped him and he can't get over it and annoys all his mates by moping and constantly going on about her and how much he misses her.
Meanwhile said mates secretly don't understand what he saw in her in the first place.
