Louie Chapman can play - if he could find a few more kgs he could go a long way.

He is in line for a Crusaders contract for 2026,
Mitch Drummond maybe done as a SR player.

@Chris Yeah - I think that's the purpose of swapping Chapman and Drummie.

Ta$man has Christie and Hotham, so whomever is behind them probably won't get much time - that's OK for Mitch at the tailend of his career, but they want Chapman playing.

Yep that is exactly the reason for the swap.

Concerning that Love made no impression on the chase on JM whos not exactly a spring chicken

Concerning is going a bit far. McNicholl showed in Super Rugby he still has genuine wheels

That’s Super Rugby 2025 champions McNicholl showing he still has genuine wheels

McNicholl has never been an easy run down.

Impressed with the good guys second half. A couple of shining lights in there amongst the vets and newer guys.

Is McAlister injured?

@Crazy-Horse Runs great lines for smallish loosefoward ,thought he was the Lions most effective forward.

Looks like a centre in the way he runs the ball.
