    @Unco I thought Waikato showed improvement from last year.

    If you compare the other teams in the Premiership, Waikato would have the least number Super rugby players in their starting XV so most of the team are coming from club rugby. When Tucker, Moli and Uhila were all injured there were a series of games that didn't include any Super reps in the forward pack.

    Quite interesting they scheduled the awards to happen prior to the finals too!

    @Bones Plenty of unions have already had their awards night. Not so sure what's strange about that if teams are not involved in the finals.

    probably couldn't figure out whether it was reiko or rieko.

    @Tim Beautiful. Wouldn't be suprised if he debuts next year in the Mitre 10 Cup. The kid reminds me of a young Nick Evans.

    Oh, and good to see another St Peters boy coming through the ranks 😉

    So long as it's not another St Peters midfielder 😛

    If Simon Hickey can get game time first year out of school, then I can't see why Plummer can't either.

    @Dice McCahill, Leaupepe, Francis Saili, Vince Aso, Roimata Hansell Pune yeah it's a bit of a hit and miss bunch haha. Ben Lam played a lot of midfield at school as well.

    Yeah well with Hickey gone we don't have a lot at 10. I think we just put him or Wiseguy Faiane in and hope for the best as long as it isn't Tyrone Elkington-MacDonald.

    Only just saw this post from Brad Weber on instagram. I think he'll be very happy those trialled laws have been binned. It shows exactly why they were dangerous, esp. for halfbacks.

    Good bloke, who's very well liked by pretty much everyone at London Irish. Was a forwards coach at the club before stepping into the Head Coach role for six months when Brian Smith went back to Oz during the 14/15 season. Steadied the ship and oversaw a decent enough finish to the season. Stepped aside to a back room role when Coventry pitched up, so can't really take too much of the blame for the horror show last season when they were relegated.

    Will probably take a while getting used to not going into games as the underdog.

    Really feel for Dave Hewitt, who is a great guy and wants to stay in Canterbury.

    Seems he has been tarred by the Blackadder brush.

    That's bizarre they didn't go with Dave Hewett. Who's the Ta$man coach next year?
