@southernmann I assume he was trying to get into the Canterbury squad, playing club rugby there, but this is awesome. I understand that they're struggling to get a full squad together (lots of injuries, including Marty McKenzie's). Glad they get a good player.

@stargazer good, he was in too good a form to F off back overseas

@stargazer The Cook Islands must be pretty strong on the wings if the traditional Fijian can only make the number 25 jersey!

Anyone know when the official squads are being announced? Obviously Otago have announced theirs - is it just completely random as to when these announcments are made?
