FYI the Oktoberfest Sevens day 2 is on Sky 51 tonight at 8:50pm, in case you need a break from the World Cup.

@Tim i've always quite liked what i've seen of Jamie Spowart from Tasman . He covers wing and fullback. He doesn't get much game time. He probably needs to move away from Tasman to further his game/career.

@Tim snap

@African-Monkey plus if Reiko follows through with his reported request to move into centre next season. They will need further wing signings also. Maybe Tele'a can be used there again but Duffie is only any use as Fullback cover now, he seems to have lost too much pace to play wing at super level.

Exciting young Bay of Plenty winger Emoni Narawa has signed for the Blues for the 2020 Investec Super Rugby season.

The 20-year-old has been signed for two years after impressing the Blues coaches when he came in as a replacement player this season, and was a stand out player for the Blues A team against the touring Honda Heat side from Japan.

Narawa, born in Fiji, schooled at Hamilton Boys High on scholarship before being recruited by Bay of Plenty. His debut last year only lasted 50 minutes before breaking his ankle, although he returned to play Sevens for the Steamers and has been impressive in this year’s Mitre-10 Cup.

“Emoni is an elusive, fast and smart young winger who impressed us not just with his of field attributes but as an excellent young man,” said Blues General Manager High Performance, Tony Hanks.

“He will fit in with our approach to the game and we think he has enormous potential.”

Emoni features in the top 3 wingers in the Mitre 10 Cup for defenders beaten, is first in clean breaks and has so far scored three tries.

@Siam He also must be the shortest international lock ever, listed at 1.87m. That's shorter than Joe moody!

Wales have been rocked by the news that attack coach Rob Howley has been sent home from Japan amid allegations of betting infringements.

According to reports Howley has left the Welsh camp and Stephen Jones now joins Warren Gatland’s squad as they prepare for the tournament.

WalesOnline believe Howley contravened gambling guidelines by placing bets on Welsh fixtures in what is a shock twist ahead of the World Cup.
