The Silver Fern

@Canes4life I'm just putting out there what I've been told

Narewa starting. Reece Out
Vai at lock
Holland Bench,
Tupea Bench

On different matter, got interesting message today that Caleb Tangitau, is going to seriously push for a AB spot, he's had contact with coaches already.

Reiko on bench and Carter , Jordan wings
McKenzie 15 and apparently Christie is benched

Razor on Newstalk ZB
Blackadder medically unavailable.
Beauden/Damien can both play First Five/Fullback interesting and Bench option.
Du Plessis conceded the fewest penalties.
Simon Parker definitely on the Radar.
Reuben Love, 10/15 interesting.
Jordie Barrett he said is like a player, coach.highly rated obviously.
ALB, unavailable first 2 tests.Narewa
covering.

Reiko Ioane sounds like 13,Sounds like he won't be starting wing, but can end the game there.Incredibly professional.
Proctor will get an opportunity?
Reiko experienced and started every game for Blues, Razor sounds like a big
fan.
Few takeaways probably nothing that wasn't known.

Must be me, I'll buy anyone a Beer or 3, everyone have a great Christmas and next year.

Akira good to go

Josh Beehre re-signed 3 more years

Have just heard that Reuben Love and Billy Procter were spotted at CHCH airport B4,

@kidcalder and I would put Taufa Funaki, in the mix, his return has seen a different dimension in the Blues.

@Steven-Harris Patty said he's aiming for round2, and Akira had been with all blacks in camp

Stephen Perofeta has resigned for 3 more years

Roigard all set to go apparently

Corey Evans re-signed 2026

Norris starting .

Caleb Clarke re-signed 2025

So review is done for ABs and decision is on hold if Razor and coaches carry on apparently there is a get together with players and coaches next week and nothing confirmed yet if it goes ahead.

McKenzie training at 10 , Beauden 15, maybe McKenzie may force his way into 23 , early days find out Tonight

Outside back /midfield and Prop 2 be announced

@Tim alot of crusaders players are coached to play super not many step up to next level ,
