Manawatu v North Harbour
-
Laumape started his AB's return campaign on the right note. First touch was a dinky chip to no space just outside his 22 with no advantage. Lovely.
-
Sounds like he'll fit right in
-
@Bovidae A big blow for Manawatu losing Jamie Viljoen the PNBHS 1st 5/8 to Taranaki next year.
I'd say he's the most promising player to come out of Manawatu schoolboy rugby in the last few years.

There's that kicking game all his supporters love to talk up.

Hadn't heard about that Mac, as a Naki man, I obviously pleased, but can understand as a Tu man you would be disappointed. They don't want to be losing good young uns'. Is he Jodi's brother?Just out of interest, I liked the look of that kid that came on to replace Viljoen at 9, seems to have a pretty sharp pass etc.

Yes, I posted that Viljoen had been signed by Taranaki when he appeared in the Chiefs U18 development camp list.

Eli Oudenryn, and before him Ruben Love, are a couple of other recent players.

@Dan54 Yes he is Jordi's brother. Disappointed to see Jamie leave but as a Manawatu fan, I'm not surprised he's left for a another province. Similar to when Oudenryn and Love have left in previous seasons.
Very good get for you guys.

Hopefully Jamie is bigger than his brother!

I was one of those when he left lol. Certainly was never his main drawcard tho.
