Wellington vs Otago
-
Teariki Ben Nicholas is an All Black number 8 in waiting..his work rate and athleticism is something to behold..
Be a superb replacement for Read moving forward
bit of suspect forward pass in there but when your not tackling is just not up to scratch a missed forward pass becomes a mute point.. -
@Canes4life said in Wellington vs Otago:
Outstanding try. Canes need to get rid of Prinsep and sign Ben-Nicholas. He’s been massive this year.
Stupid he’s not a Cane. Or the Chiefs should pick him up since The Chief Ben Nicholas should really be playing for the Chiefs.
Prinsep is such a weird selection.
-
@Nepia I know Ben Nicholas got into a fair amount of trouble a few years ago and had to go to court. I remember the Canes CEO Avan Lee not being impressed. Maybe his view on Teariki hasn’t changed.
-
@Nepia you are joking..he’s not in the Canes...?.I know he played for Kings in Auckland..is a Maori or Cook Island..?

The Crusaders should snap him up then.
-
@Steven-Harris he played in the Canes development team all year. He was playing like this last year and I was gobsmacked when no Super team signed him.
-
@Canes4life mate I am staggered, I would have him in the Blues every day of the week and twice on Sunday
-
@Steven-Harris yeah he is better than Akira Ioane. Has a really high work rate.
-
@Canes4life might pay not to go there..lol
-
@Steven-Harris hahahah I know they both had a big rivalry when they were at school. First one to make the All Blacks wins. 😂

Not sure, definitely Cookie, could be both?
-
But yeah I would prefer Ben Nicholas over Prinsep and Fifita. Who knows the Canes may have signed him, maybe just not announced yet.
If they do, I would move Gareth Evans to 6.
-
@Canes4life that would be a dynamic trio..Ardie, Ben and Gareth..and you still have Du Plessis Kirifi in the wings and Fifita..hard to see Prinseep in that picture ..

-
@Stargazer , noooooo..!who would be the Saders number 8 next year..?
-
@Steven-Harris No doubt: Whetu Douglas. I think he's more chance to be a new ABs no. 8 than TB-N in the near future.
-
@Stargazer such a waste of a spot.
-
@Steven-Harris and then add in the development of Flanders.
-
@Stargazer you know what, the Saders are the sought of organisation that will sniff out an opportunity like this..TBN will be on their radar if he’s not signed by anyone else...
