The Silver Fern

@nostrildamus Wouldn’t want to lose a player of his calibre to the Irish when they seem to have some problems at 10 at the moment

@frugby
Correct has an Irish passport - from what I understand he was a halfback at Stream and because he was a year ahead of himself at school he went to Ulster for like a gap year and made Ulster U19’s. Turned down an Academy contract there. Came back made a Wgtn XV played against NZU20’s and Ricki Flutey converted him to 10 for Wgtn U19’s.
Scored a try for the Canes against the Saders in a preseason match back in Feb 2019 but broke his leg in the process. Could have found himself playing professional rugby sooner but he has won Jubilee Cups in 2020 and 2024 and has played over 75 Prem club rugby games in Wgtn at 9, 10, 12, and 15.
He has a body of work behind him

@Dan54 for sure - still feels a bit odd

Can someone clarify why the Christchurch semi was announced on SKY as being on Friday the 13th? The official Super Rugby website has had Sat 14 (tbc) for both semis all season.. It has just been amended to the 13th this morning. Seems unfair on whoever the opposition will be as they will be traveling to Chch (possibly from CBA regardless of whether it’s Hurr or Bru) and have 1 less day to prepare. Is the fix in?
