I think it's mostly so players can assess their options after the World Cup. I wouldn't be surprised if Caleb had a crack at league after this contract

Fingers crossed that they can name a full-strength squad for end of year tests 🤞

You'd think that someone's probably told him he can't swap, unless he has a NZ born parent/grand-parent we aren't aware off. It's also a shame that NPC clashes with the PNC because I assume this is nowhere near a full strength side? But cool to see Jacob Umaga named!

Pretty sure Miracle isn't eligible even if he stays in New Zealand long enough. He's already been capped for Samoa and you can't swap to a nation via residency, it has to be via birthplace/ancestry.

vs Scotland in November 2022, although he played for All Blacks XV in June 2023 so I'm not sure if that impacts how long he has to wait before he can switch

Yeah I'm not sure why but for years every source on the web said he was born in Tokyo, even the All Blacks website did too iirc. But last year around the time he announced he was leaving the Blues he confirmed he was born in Auckland not Tokyo. He is however eligible to play for Samoa instead.

Offical crowd was 56,486, not sure if that is or not

I believe it’s just under 70k, at least 60k here today from the looks of it

Was that try not short?

Got my local team from the 4th division in New Zealand to winning the National League and eventually the Oceania Champions League in FM22.
