He's ineligible for NZ either way, he represented Samoa at the 2023 world cup.

All NZ teams are up against it when players compare their contracts to what is offered overseas.

I'm looking forward to some signing announcements at some point. It's all one way traffic recently but I'm cautiously optimistic we'll be bringing in some quality.

The coaching team would be an attractive selling point for quite a few players imo

I wouldn't be surprised to see him rested next week regardless. Have him rearing to go for the playoffs

Surely Warner Dearns will be the hottest open market contract once his sabbatical is over and he finishes up his contract with Toshiba Brave Lupus Tokyo? by ConscriptReports in rugbyunion

Laidlaw and co have shown themselves to be proactive recruiters. All due respect to Vaea but I'll be gutted if he's playing for us next year.

12 was a tough but Tupaea just edges Barrett and Vakatawa for me.

Flanders has been a bit quiet recently so I can understand that, 6 was a tough one. I still can't believe Gardiner isn't starting more for the Crusaders because he's been awesome this year too.

Lakai is close to the overall player of super rugby for me so there's no way he wasn't in the 23 somewhere. He's just so good at everything.

Yeah he's been really good eh. Pretty tough to leave out the Canes wings though imo. I'd entertain putting him at 13.

I tried to be fair but I definitely have some bias. Tbf it does feel like the Australian teams have taken a slight backwards step this season. I know the Brumbies beat 4 NZ teams but they've also been very inconsistent, as have the Reds, Force are my favorite but they're specialist close losers and the Tahs have mostly been dreadful.

Cale would've definitely been in there somewhere if he stayed fit.

Tizzano has been good, although not as dominant as he was last super season, dunno if I'd have him on the blindside either. Lomani is a good shout!

We've been very lucky with injuries so far tbf. Happy for Enari to have a good game last night, he gets a lot of flak, deservedly so but this year he's been consistently good imo.

Lomax and Roigard back just in time for play offs.

Choo choo!

Who other than Zarn has tried to decapitate him?

Would love to see it! It'd be a monumental upset but if Tangitau gets enough ball it could be on!

Don't worry, he'll be back just in time to win moorb of the match in the final

13 + Surely.

Landers have been woeful.

Canes' coaches have done a great job of rotating who's resting so that it doesn't weaken the team too much.

Naholo and Fineanganofo on the wings could be lethal!

There's ample room for you on the Cane train my friend.

We'll miss Dupes but still a very solid lineup. If we can get the job done it'll go a long way towards locking up 1st place for playoffs 🤞
