Wellington Lions 2021

Wellington are a joke, Kirifi should be stripped of his captaincy for being a completely selfish fwit.

[taniwharugby]

surprised they did anything TBH...

Given the time that has passed, I had all but forgotten about it!

I think stripping captaincy full stop should have been the punishment.

@canes4life C’mon mate you know how the union operates happy to keep a player charged with assault on the books don’t know why you were expecting something stronger.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 haha so true.

[Crucial]

Biggest crime is them keeping Love at 15 instead of giving him some time at 10.

[mikey07]

@crucial what about having Laursen at 12 over PUJ is a worse crime he barely looks like a 10 let alone a 12.

Wellington NPC captain apologises for "dumb" lockdown breach

Wellington rugby captain Du'Plessis Kirifi has apologised and said he learnt a valuable lesson after being caught hosting a party during the level 4 lockdown.

[Kiwiwomble]

has there been much/any sign of Connor Garden-Bachop?

[Stargazer]

@kiwiwomble Not sure he's expected to play NPC, this year. He's also not playing for the Wellington development team.

[mikey07]

@stargazer Good point actually he was named in the squad.

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 Yeah, but several provinces have players in the squad who have a season-ending injury. For example, Folau Fakatava has been named in the Magpies squad but won't play a game.
