@chimoaus I've had that discussion too.
I'm waiting for 2 people with hyphenated surnames to have kids and use the same naming convention. Good luck signing that signature!!
Yes that would be funny, I'm just waiting for Mr De Kock and Mrs Hore to get married and go hyphenated.

Looking forward to this one. Like others I don't rate Fidow at all and there are better scrummaging props in Wellington club rugby that could have been picked in his place. Aumua though I am really looking forward to seeing how he goes this year.

#On this display Aumua might be an AB by year end.
NMS seems to be getting back into form. Black was a bit ordinary. J-GB had a better game
I would like to see Savea have a run a center with Goosen at 2nd to see how it goesI want to see more of Fidow. Canes need another TH and maybe with lots of conditioning and another year he might shape up by next year as the third TH

The Canes region doesn't stop at the Wellington region's borders. No need to invest too much in Fidow if he isn't the real deal, if you've got better props running around in other Canes' provinces.

Fidow has a great potential (mobility, strength, good hands). Charlie F was not a good scrummager a few years ago either. I remember he spent an awful evening against Kitshoff when the Blues faced the Stormers in Cape Town. Fidow is still very young so he's got plenty of time to develop.

Poor old Alex Fidow, the kid is only 20 and he is playing ITM!!! We need to let him develop. Maybe he makes it, maybe not but he suffers from the fact we do not put emphasis on scrimmaging until after school like ofa, Charlie etc. let's not rip him apart but see if he has the work ethic to get better and let time judge him.

That's all very well letting Fidow mature but the concerning thing is he was frequently scrummed off the park by his peers at age grade level.
I'm hoping NZ has moved away from streamlining schoolboy props who make highlight reels for bumping off 16-year-olds and pick frontrowers on their scrumming merit.
