@Crucial Will Heinz will be a big asset for next year. Be great if someone like Tom Taylor came home and picked up a contract.
Tells you a lot about the state of NZ depth when we rejoice about posters at the tail end of their careers returning home to strengthen squads.
We do need to get more experienced posters into the squads.

Robertson expects injured Crusaders Ethan Blackadder (shoulder), Cullen Grace (shoulder) and Jack Goodhue (knee) to be available in time for their round one clash with the Hurricanes in Chrsitchurch on February 19.
The news isn’t so good regarding tighthead prop Oli Jager, who requires neck surgery and is expected to miss the entire campaign.
Sad for Jager. He's already had a few injuries over the years. So the Crusaders will be looking for another TH prop. -

You heard it first - Robertson to coach England with O'Gara in 2024:
Ronan O’Gara: The England job? Of course I’d be interested
Even in what is meant to be a week of high jinks coaching the Barbarians, Ronan O’Gara is fixated on success.The La Rochelle coach and Ireland great is sitting

Not sure how you can even remotely conclude that from this article about, and interview with, O'Gara. That other nations - including England - may be pursuing Robertson is nothing new and that Robertson and O'Gara like to work together isn't new either. Doesn't mean it will happen in 2024 and with England.
Hopefully NZR will do the right thing and appoint Robertson for the ABs after the 2023 RWC.
