Alaimalo listed as a midfielder in the Landers? Intriguing.
i missed that, yeah, a point was made he was coming down to play 15....
@Yeetyaah yeah, didn't see much of the canterbury games so wasn't sure but thought if he'd come through injury free whether we might have thought he could keep building
think i would have gone with Freedom>Naholo>Timu
Timu was starting to look good last year but think hes been overseas this year hasn't he

I don't know about his distribution or defence, but with his size and speed, he could be an absolute weapon at 13. He has always reminded me of Folau, but has never got it together and challenged for the next level.

@gt12 yeah, as long as hes into the idea and not being forced and not committed

When you look at who will be playing Super their really aren't too many players that will add to and surpass our current AB XV. Maybe there are props that will demand selection and hopefully Clarke comes back strong to replace Bridge
There are always one or two unknown players that impress and begin to push for a spot. Perhaps not an unknown, as a I think some people here already rate him, but my prediction is Samipeni Finau to be knocking on the door of AB selection.

We’ve already got Reiko Ioane for that.

Jesus, rookie error from me. How the hell did I stumble on this thread ?

Highlanders
Gains: Gareth Evans (Hurricanes); Makalio (Crusaders); Banks (Southland); Dawai (Waikato); Marshall (Ireland); Timu (Otago); Withy (Otago), Ma’u (Otago), Hicks ( Ta$man), Caird (Northland).Never heard of him and he was not part of the Ta$man outfit that got flogged in their Shield Challenge. Can you give us a brief summation on why he should be, or what he has done to warrant being, included in a Super Rugby squad please?

So Super Rugby is looking like a 2 Round NZ based competition with MP included ,That would help with the toll on the players in another domestic comp.
Or Single Rd domestic comp with the hope a trans tasmen comp like last year can be squeezed in.
Not ideal once again.

@chris what I’ve I missed?

@kiwiwomble NZ travel restrictions until 30 April have been announced (or maybe, restrictions will be dropped as of 30 April). Double vaxxed covid negative Aussies (and others i assume) have to home quarantine for 7 days until then.
No sporting exemptions yet. https://covid19.govt.nz/alert-levels-and-updates/latest-updates/reconnecting-new-zealand-the-next-steps/
Apparently Australians aren't 'others eligible'.
