Happy with either - just want to see whoever they choose get some game time at 10.

@mooshld Isn't Conrad Smith Pau's defence coach?

Correct. They are not in the relegation zone yet but if they keep this up the last 5 games are going to be real edge of the seat stuff.

This thread is great if only for the random shit it is throwing up

@mariner4life you know where you are right?

@Crazy-Horse Yep.
Also, his season ends by the end of May. How many SR games will he be able to play? Even if the Chiefs would reach the Finals, he wouldn't be eligible to play them. I think there's a minimum of round robin games, players have to play to be eligible.

@Stargazer Do you know when he's due back?
Assuming he can overcome his injury over the next few weeks, I would still be inclined to pick him if he can return back to NZ in time for the RC. The newbies mentioned are frankly nowhere near Test Match standard.

getting back to NZ and playing enough to impress will be the tough part...IMO I often think the push from the next guy to steal your AB jersey is a factor in keeping these guys at the top and they are playing for more than just a pile of cash, so maybe if his body holds up, and has the desire maybe he can make the big step back up.
