Brisbane Global 10s

[Stargazer]

As was to be expected, no Ma'a Nonu at the Brisbane 10s either.

Wallabies stars, blockbusting wingers to spearhead Toulon’s charge at Brisbane Global Rugby Tens

Joe Ravouvou

Is this just for the 10's or has he been added to the Chiefs extended group?

Not a bad player.. big, fast and makes some very good decisions on defence

[Bovidae]

@Duluth No idea. I know nothing about Ravouvou but Rennie likes to use a large squad so a number of players train with the Chiefs throughout the season.

[JayCee]

No Lowe in the Chiefs squad?

Anyone know much about Sheldon Tovio or Chris Gawler? They are the only names I don't recognise from the team lists

Google tells me Tovio is a Sacred Heart College product and a winger, who played club rugby for Hautapu in Cambridge in 2016. He was named in the Waikato U19s in 2016. In November 2016, he was named in the NZU20 training squad.

Gawler is a prop, who was named in the 2016 Canterbury Development team. He played 69 minutes (3 games) for Canterbury during the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup (due to injuries in the main squad).

I thought we'd have a better team than that for the 10s. Probably can't be helped with pre-season games starting this week. We're going for 2 Pre-season Championship Titles in a row.

He's not risking his AB chances that so many have been telling us about over the last 2 years....

I had to read that twice!

[taniwharugby]

@Hooroo haha, am guessing you read that same as I did with the similar names??

Yup!.

[Bovidae]

@NTA So the Force couldn't find an ex-player to select? I'm sure Sharpe would like to have a run around.

[mariner4life]

@Bovidae the Force are always left out...

[pukunui]

Surely they could get Cameron Shepherd to squeeze into a force jersey and lace up the boots.

[Bovidae]
