    JK had some superlative moments against Lions, despite missing a lot of minutes for various reasons. Great servant of NZ rugby.

    Highlights a challenge for Hansen et al: you want to play best squad, but that does nothing for the job security of number two and, more particular, three, which leaves them vulnerable to poaching once they've reached their mid-twenties.

    That’s not good. Boudjellal still trying to buy his way to the top.

    Messam is past it. Dud signing imo.

    A well-deserved earner for Liam. One big final season for the Chiefs.

    I’ll add that Messam and Kaino are best mates.

    Past it in Super Rugby or ABs does not equal past it in France. FFS Joe Rok still plays.

    Mostly at centre. I’ve watched him live recently, still has a wicked step but no pace.

    Shame to see Kaino go, but this is way it is. you get older, you get slower and the younger guy comes through.

    The thing we will most about him though is presence. He's an intimidator, just by being on the pitch.

    Messam did a lot of good for NZ rugby. A good team man. But my lasting memory of him will always be going ahead of people to grab a medal at the world cup he didn't play in.

    Even with no pace he'd be quicker than most I bet.

    Mine is his chat with Cruden just before taking that 2nd kick to beat Ireland in 2012? to secure the perfect season. Such a cool moment, no idea what he said just looked like some much needed support at the most critical of times

    Not Charlie! How will he become the next great AB centre if he leaves now?
