Crusaders 2025

[SBW1]

He is having a really good run at the tailend of his career, really like to see him back with the Crusaders next year.

"Next in Line". 13 minute documentary on the Crusaders' current first fives - O'Çonnor, Kemara, Reihana and White. Quite an interesting watch.

Slice of life rather than reaching any conclusions.

Possibility the Crusaders have 2 u20 hookers
Waiting in the wings so have some depth.

Five hookers at the Crusaders certainly doesn't fit into three. Taylor is signed through to 2027, Ioane Moananu still around, Bell signed a three year contract starting in 23. The U20s boys Manumaua Letiu and Eli Oudenryn will be wanting a run in Super soon too.

I wonder if the Aussie franchises may be interested in Oudenryn with him being eligible for the Wallabies through his dad?

Is this Ennor's last year?

I asked this question before, but is his dad former Wahs winger Lee Oudenryn?

Yeah that's him. I've read that Lee was a cop in NZ, but has since returned by Australia to be a detective

Yeah he hung around after his playing days I recall.

Quite the opposite to his son then. He was a skinny little speedster who didn't enjoy the contact so much haha.
